prank on a Craigslist scammer

Tweet

Well, some of you may know by now I have a bit of a naughty streak in me. I had posted an ad for a room I want to rent, and specifically asked for cash, no checks, no moneyorders, no people from out of the country that I have to meet at the airport, etc.(these are all the things contained in emails I frequently receive and it is a scam.) So, I get a few of these already within hours and I'm like, ok let's just see how they would respond to this. Ready for my email back? Now please remember this is a joke, none of it is true. I just wanted to know if there would be a reaction from the scammer. EMAIL REPLY I appreciate your honesty. About myself: I was born with 3 eyes and an ear in the back of my head. I am a bit freakish looking but don't let that scare you off. I need the extra money from a housemate for the plastic surgery operations I want to have. Can you imagine how people stare at me and make me uncomfortable? I could not go to school because the kids would pull my ear, and even though I have 3 eyes only 1 of them has sight thus I am blind in 2. When can you move in? I really don't care about all your details I need a housemate right away so in a few months I can put a downpayment on one of the surgeries. You may be in luck--I have no family so I would leave the house to you if anything should happen to me. My ear in the back of my head is also partially attached to the skull and it is a delicate procedure that can end in death. No legitimate doctor will do the surgery, I have to pay cash up front to a black market doctor. My chances of survival are not good, but I really do want this surgery and almost do not care if I die for it. I am a really messy person because I cannot see well, and I am told I smell badly. Let me explain: My ear is turned upward, facing the sky, and if I get water in it, sometimes I get an ear infection and once or twice, a brain infection. So I simply do not bathe, so afraid I am of getting water in my ear and contracting a brain infection that I could die from. i would rather die looking normal, than die from a brain infection with the ear still on. I have a pit bull and 2 bull mastiffs. When you come, you must be very careful because they are quite violent towards other people. I lost my only child to Dorothy, the female Mastiff. Dogs are easier to feed anyway, the child was very fussy. I do keep them chained up always, but sometimes they do slip out somehow, so you must make sure their chains are secured because I cannot see very well. So, when can you move in? I am very excited to have a new housemate. Please respond immediately, i need the money for the surgery. Would you ever write something ridiculous and creepy to an online scammer? Have you ever tried to turn the tables on a scammer? Do you have a similar story?
