Automated message on Le Bon Coin: A scam?

Hello,

I replied via the messaging service of "Le Bon Coin" to an ad (a real estate rental) and within a few seconds after my message, I received a response.

The response is an image with a text in the middle that says: "Thank you for leaving your email by SMS: 075680**** For more details including photos" (note the mistakes in the message). This message intrigues me, especially since I automatically received this message via the Le Bon Coin messaging service twice in a row.

This is a scam, isn't it? Isn't it better not to contact this number? Now if I decide to contact it, what could happen? Can't you get scammed just by sending a message to a number?!

    Good evening,

    We don't touch anything and we especially don't call back...

    The only thing to do is to throw it in the trash.

      That's what I was thinking. But what could happen if I send a text? Receiving spam?

        Do not send anything, it's a scam!

        Don't touch anything and definitely don't call back...

        With the internet, you need to think and then click; unfortunately, 90% of internet users do the opposite...!
