Using your noggin to identify fake ads on Craig's List
Sometimes, Craig's List postings are too good to be true. You know the ones: "I'm a hot 18 year old virgin looking for an older dude to come fuck me senseless!" I always figure the men who respond to those deserve the spam they're going to get.
Here's another good one from Boston's CE section:
I'm a dirty whore. InterestedI have this thing about big dick. This is a serious post. I really could use a good NSA fuck. I can deep throat, love it deep and enjoy anal. I'll decide by your dick pictures. Depending on the dick picture. I might have my own gang bang. You can reach me direct at mocha_princess30 at yah.
Included with this post was a picture of a very lovely ass, though slightly slim-hipped for my taste.
My money's on this being a man trolling for jerking material.
Comments
I think one of the best indicators of fakeness is when they encourage you to contact them through means other than replying to the craigslist address for the ad. Usually web sites, but sometimes anonymous-sounding webmail accounts.

My money's on it being a spammer looking for a valid email addy. On a whim I fed one of those trolls (using a throwaway mail alias... I love having my own email server) and was rewarded with a website addy, lame password, and the exhortation to fill in my credit card number in order, presumably, to prove that I'm serious about wanting to contact this (fictitious) personage. Gag me...

Wow, asking for a credit card number, no less? That's shameless! And not in a good way.
Use your heads, people!
