When you leave the option open to be contacted by potential buyers through email on Craigslist, you also leave the option open to receive spam.
Usually the spam emails are porn related, and usually they just have a sentence or two with a link to a website.
My favorite spam email that comes from Craigslist is one that asks if you want to hook up with a tranny.
Funny Email
Lately I have been getting another funny email.
Maybe it isn’t the actual text in the email that I find funny, I think it is the thought that someone actually sat down and wrote it trying to describe the perfect woman to get guys to click the link that sends them to an Adult FriendFinder type website.
I especially like the Star Wars, Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica references. Genius!
Here is a screenshot of the email:
It reads:
I am someone’s perfect girl.
I hoard books.
I read news all the time.
I subscribe to several magazines and newspapers, not because I have time to
read all of them, but because I like to think I do.
I’m a self-described coffee and cupcake addict.
I’m not an alcoholic, but I do love good beer, good wine and a good time.
I go to plays and musicals because I love them.
I dance because it’s fun.
I sing because that’s just what I do.
I kind of hate modern art (something my friends like to poke at when they
bring me to various museums).
I overanalyze Lost. I sing along to Glee. I wish I worked at the Buy More.
I’m a nerd, in the “Star Wars is awesome, Star Trek is too, and I think I’d
like Battlestar Galactica if I ever got around to watching it” way.
I Love Harry Potter. No, seriously. Love. Capital “L.”
I’m probably the biggest sap you’ll ever meet.
I find kids and babies adorable. I don’t want my own any time soon, but I
do want them.
I like pretty things. Shoes. Photographs. Pieces of furniture.
I don’t like cats because I’m allergic, but I can’t wait for the day that I
can get a puppy.
I’m living the dream when it comes to my career, but even I know that
there’s something more I need to strive for. I just have to figure out what
that is.
I love baseball and college football, but fair warning, I’m didn’t grow up
on the East Coast, so I probably don’t like your team(s).
I’m not hot. Pretty, sure. Cute, yes. Hot, not so much. And I’m OK with
that.
