Stayin’ Alive in Downtown Memphis

Craigslist Scammer

So I have a parts car for sale on Craigslist. I get an email asking if it’s still available, maybe 2 hours after I listed it.

I figure the guy is just a moron, and confirm I still have the car for sale. Next reply is a standard scammer template email:

Logically, I reply with a “bugchaser” story copied from the bareback exchange website.

He replies in broken English:

So i reply with random thoughts, general nonsense, and non sequitors.

He’s yet to reply, but I’ve decided that my new hobby will be emailing this guy at least once a day. I’ll ramble on about my thoughts, ask him personal questions, profess my love, etc. I’ll update soon…

5/14 9:30am

He won’t reply, this hurts my feelings. I emailed him again.

Here’s the pic I attached, it’s not work safe, and includes my balls.

I deserve a beer for writing this.
