Dear Craig’s List Spammer

You know who you are. Hiding somewhere in a dingy, one room apartment overlooking the landfill. I see you lurking on CL, waiting for the legitimate business or individual to post a listing. Once you see a post with a real live email address you spring your dastardly scheme. That’s when it all goes wrong.

The plan seemed pretty good up until you actually acted but then it quickly unraveled. You have two things against you. Spam filters and your lack of a fully functioning brain. Do you really think that someone is going to “white list” their ad when the return email address you show for Craig’s List is teslamuffin444@gmail.com?

To the idiots who send the email asking if I want to trade with their fictitious item with the blind link, the answer is no. You see my ad wasn’t for an item. There isn’t anything there to trade and I don’t like the fact that you are phishing. If you had actually read the ad instead of relying on some crappy software to find email addresses you would know that.

The other thing you might have read if you had read (assuming you can read) my ad is the final line of all of my posts on CL. It reads, Spammers will be forwarded to CL and the Federal Trade Commission. CL has no real teeth to speak of. The FTC on the other hand has the ability to fine you at the lovely rate of $16,000 per spam email and I hope they find you, with my help.

My suggestion, CL Spammer, is grow a brain and get a real job. For some reason I doubt you’d be able to pay those fines when the Feds do catch up with you and they will. I’d hate to think of you leaving that room with the lovely view to become someone’s bitch in prison since you can’t pay that mountain of fines. On second thought, just keep doing what you are doing. I think the FTC is just around the corner from your apartment now. Can you spell bitch?
