Rick,
I've received several similarly-worded emails in the past from both
predatory and non-predatory (albeit lower-tier) publishers. They have
been unfortunately phrased, but never served as omens for theft of
intellectual property.
I suppose such emails are intended to flatter the recipient that they
are inviting submission of particular work. In reality, I doubt that
the sender read a word of the abstract in question; these are likely
auto-generated from web content harvested by spiders and such.
Best,
Darby
