So I put an ad up for an old video camera on Craigslist (anyone on here interested in old cameras, it's meant to be hooked to another VCR, RCA model CC010.) I went to look in my spam folder, and found a bunch of (spam) replies to it. Here's how the emails go:

This is quite bizarre to me. How exactly would anyone believe they are found hot based upon a craigslist ad for a product? So yes, uhm, just a warning, girls likely do not think you're hot based upon Craigslist ads. And if they did think you're hot, then they'd just give you real contact info and not have you sign up for scam websites. I find this a bizarre kinda scam, though. Just weird as all hell.
