I haven't experienced this as a scam. Doesn't mean you shouldn't be aware. I've often had requests for my source code and "why don't you just open source it", often ignoring the thousands of dollars it costs to operate the services per month.

I wouldn't get too excited about it unless P can give you some details as to why he wants to buy it, history of being able to successfully commercialize, etc. etc.

If P has the ability to provide your product in Greece, why not try for a partnership/sales agreement rather than buying the source? Once they buy the source, that's it, it's gone.

Great idea. Partnership/sales agreement. Thanks for sharing.

One part of me finds it hard to establish trust, not to mention make deal, with people using public email domains like @gmail.com @hotmail.com etc...

I wouldn't worry too much about the public email. There are a few reasons people do this. Sometimes companies do this to appear smaller than they actually are, sometimes, people are investigating on behalf of another business, sometimes they have businesses and forward their email to their personal, etc. etc.
