A new tactic from the Craigs List Spammers

hello, i noticêd your ådvertisemént ón craigslíst and so i wánted to tell you something. what i doon’t understand is – why do you wastê your time selling stuff? i m mâking not lèss thãn $6000 per mõnth working from the çomfort and easè of my house. i ventured înto thïs this past yeár, and i am currently doìng enöugh to take my family ön vacätion every few months. now there is ëven a news intèrnet site that makes çlear how you coould dó it too if you arë ïnterested. i âm sörry, i can t remember the exact url, but i guess yoú could get it when you góogle fôr "localworknews" 

I received 7 of these emails from various email addresses all saying pretty much the same thing.

And really if somebody is making so much money per month--and wanting to refer other suckers (oops I meant to say people) doing at this they would remember the exact url of the 'internet news site' especially since most of these work at home 'opportunities' rely on suckers being sucked in!

There really should be an intelligence test issued to all people before they are even allowed to turn on their computers much less access the internet!!

The best part is that they are violating Craigs List rules, namely this: it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests.

** More Info: http://www.craigslist.org/about/scams.html


This is Wendy and Jason and we are very interested, we have been looking for quite some time, please let me know if the price is correct. This email blah blah blah was in your listing.
What makes this one a scam?  I received 22 emails with the exact same wording yet they were all from different names and different email addresses.

I replied to one of the 22 emails with this
Funny how you have an unlimited supply of email accounts and an unlimited supply of names too, but the same old tired bullcrap in every email. 

If you are REALLY interested in my stuff then feel free to reply and explain WHY you responded the way you did since I have TWENTY TWO emails from various email accounts using various names but the same old verbiage in EVERY email.

Otherwise stop spamming me
Before I sent the email, I noticed that the reply to address was mmorans5@gmail.com not the email that the scammer originally sent from (Rubin22952@aol.com)

I haven't heard a word from Wendy and Jason although I did get a new batch of scamming/spamming emails from the Gattison family (21 emails in all).

Give it a rest you idiots.
