Unless you (or anyone you know) has had acceptable dealings with this site, don't touch them with a barge pole.
The email you received says nothing about them except a mobile phone number yet they are asking you to give them your details.
It's grammar, punctuation and wording are very poor, not what I would expect from a genuine site.
Can you check the site's validity?

It reminds me of emails from "officials" in Nigeria.

Thank you very much Norm and Kris.... the site is very popular in India... Anybody can advertise free to sell their products in India; but the site don't take any responsibility of some fake ad. Is that phone number an existing one? I could not make a contact...

Ted, thanks to you too...

This has to be a fraud.

1. The current price for a 5D3 body with the 24-105 lens from a reputable US dealer is $3100. It seems obvious that someone "selling" it for 1/5 the price is not legitimate. And this with 2-day service to India, no less.

2. The grammar is extremely bad. I think Google Translate could do better. I have never seen any legitimate retail website in any English-speaking country even remotely like this. As Ted says, it's like the phishing emails (ostensibly) from Nigeria.

3. I have never been to India, but here, no legitimate retailers asks for bank information. In fact, as a general rule, you should never enter your bank information into the internet unless it is to someone you know.

Do yourself a favor and buy only from authorized dealers or from retailers you know.

I will sell you Missouri's Gateway Arch for US$250 but you have to send me your bank account first and send me $100 advanced payment... But wait! there is more!! -- I will toss in St. Charles Bridge and the Missouri River too as a bonus....

Want some dog treats??? It doesn't come with fish and chips..

Horrors - do you mean that the "Prince" or was he the "Finance Minister" from Nigeria that I have been corresponding with is not on the up and up?
