I changed the email address cuz I'm not that much of a prick, but c'mon. Ignoring the spelling mistakes, the horrible grammar, the caps and the "international model " obviously added in, what would would obviously make me email this person. Maybe I can do it by hiding my email address.
Craigslist is also not really being much of a help. Here is one of the freaks fromn that fiasco.

I find it kind of funny that the first person actually thought that could be taken completely seriously.. I would not have responded, or maybe say 'no, sorry' if I was in a great, super happy mood..
