I'm Sick of These Scammers Blowing Up My Mailbox!

I post ads on Craigslist from time to time for rentals.  Being on the internet as long as I have, I've developed a fairly keen sense of when someone's BSing me.  This 1 particular time, I decided to have a little fun with some scammer - just to see what he would do.  And yes, I'm SURE it was a HE!  Below is the email thread I shared with this guy.  My email address was removed, but I'm leaving his completely in tact!

Hope the bastard gets busted by the Secret Service!!! (I know it's a little annoying to read, but try to read it from the bottom up.  I thought it was kinda funny to see this guy get irritated by my foolishness)

Hey sexy.  I spoke with Becos and gave him my information already.  The money order should be in the mail by now.  Like I said, you don't have to worry about a thing.

 

It's been a long time since I've had a sexy woman to cozy up to at night.  So I definitely am looking forward to your company.  What airport are you coming to and at what time?  I bought you something nice I'm sure you'd like.

 

I also have a business proposition for you.  I'll give you details if you're interested... ok

Tell you what.  The room is yours.  I won't even charge you for it cause I think we can both benefit from each other's company.  Make sure you pack appropriate clothing for formal dining, clubs, and some nice lingerie for afterward. ;-)

 

Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday!

PS

I'll send you all my information shortly. Maybe when I take a trip to Belgium some time you'll be a gracious host... :-)
