Actual text of an email response to my craigslist ad:
===============================================
I stumbled across your craigslist posting for the #CSVFIELD(2)#.
A few weeks ago I had to get rid of some of my stuff on craigs list to pay the bills. One person came over to buy my computer and gave me 2 times what I was asking for and told me that when I got back on my feet I needed to help someone else out too.

I don't have two times what you're asking, but I did come across these free Walmart Gift Cards. I'm passing on the link, but if it works for you, I'd like you to do the same thing I did and pass it on to someone else.

Here you go
Thanks
#NICENAMELIST#
===============================================

I'd hate to get one from the #NAUGHTYNAMELIST#.

Meilleuses equipment for garage or more, explaining to the phone, for, quick quick all the gun looks good for mequanique, The computer for problems (lordi wheel) jvoi not the word, Tournaviti, wrench, wiring He remains full of something else to have! There are Morceux triple-double, as its import the trunk is the trademark Snap-on,

Empire Liquidators sell all kinds of stuff, I've bought a few things from them. At least they accurately describe it.

This has to be the KING of keyword spamming. I did a search on my local CL. My search terms were "metal lathe" and this came up. After looking at the ad, I can understand why. I think just about any search, this ad would pop up!

I hate these guys who spam like this. Needless to say I flagged it just on GP.
