Maybe someone here knows and can answer this....

I've never used this site before, but yesterday posted an ad for a house I have for rent. I'm getting very odd replies but the emails look legit.
Here's an example

"Hello, Pls I want to confirm if you still have the room/apartment for rent, if yes,I will like to have the description of the room/apt, Payment mode. Little about me , I am 23 years old female and I work full time,Monday to Friday and have weekends off except for once a month. I was born in Ft. Worth, Texas, I moved to just last years after the death of father Republique Du Benin ,I work in a fashion home as a designer director. I am not really a sports person, BUT I do love Basketball ,Lawn Tenis. I am a very out going person and fun to be with. I do play the organ and piano. I don't drink , smoke and I don't do drugs. I like going to movies,, concerts ,, plays, I like camping, hiking, bike ridding, swimming, and I love to travel.I am a very dedicated individual who is totally committed to human development, friendly, very trustworthy and value relationship . I am an easygoing person and like to have an apt/roommate . I am presently in Republique Du Benin and I will be moving to fully to start a new life and get my own business after 4 years of service in the fashion home in Republique Du Benin ... I will be staying in your apartment for six months or a year depend ing on how the lease is drawn ,I will be arriving as soon as possible. I need your response as soon as possible so as to arrange for you to get the money prior for my arrival as the company client I worked for before I quit wants to arrange for the payment. As I will like to make an advance payment ahead my arrival so that you can be rest assured that this is real since I am not in around .Thanks and have a good time.
Regards,
Mary



Are these spammer emails? I don't need to know or did I ask about them as people. Like I care if she goes to the movies......!
I got 2 others that look like this but with different names coming from diff countries.
What should I make of this?

Thanks in advance
 
Sounds like bs to me.

To give you an idea of the kind of cred you can expect from Craigslist, it is also a medium used to solicit gay sex.
Pretty much anything goes on there.
 
HI Blueta!

This particular email is probably scammish - but I've had success buying and selling stuff on craigslist so its not all bad there.
 
She'll send a check for too much, ask you to reimburse her the difference, and then her original check will bounce.
 
You have to "ask" if that's a spammer email?

When do people reply to an ad with their life story?

Full on spam. There are bots that do nothing but scour craigslist ads and grab emails and pump out 10,000 spam emails. There's always 5 or 6 morons that bite.

Just send me a check and I will take care of it for you.
 
I agree sounds like a scam of some kind.
Do they still go barebreasted in République du Bénin? It's been a while since I've been to the movies.
 
I have used it over a dozen times to recruit people for my band(s). I would say it takes like 5 people to get 1 worthwhile.

On the buying side, it has been fine for me for multiple $250+ items
 
:wavey: Blueta2!!! Craigslist is great for somethings but wow, there are a lot of scammers on there too.

Good luck and be careful girl!
 
sounds like a fake, but she could just be a foreigner.



craigslist has a bunch of BS, but also a lot of legit people. i found my current house through it.
 
your house will get rented and used as a drop box for a bunch of Nigerian scammers.

Benin...it's a piss poor African country. My email is spammed with Benin morons who all mysteriously have millions stashed and need someone to receive a wire for.

they'll only need to scam 1 or 2 people a month to make the rent.
 
its a scam...if you want to avaoid all the bullshit scammer emails dont post an email and just put your number...a scammer wont call you
