Selling a laptop? Want sex?

jjk: community @ 12:46 pm

I am in the process of selling my laptop on Craigslist, and as one would expect, I have received plenty of attention from scammers trying to get me to ship my laptop without payment having actually been made. The most common scam is to send me a fake electronic United States postal money order, which the scammer claims is from BidPay, and as soon as I receive the email “confirmation” for the money order, I am supposed to ship the laptop. No dice.

I received quite an odd offer recently, though, one that seems to not involve money orders at all. The email starts out like this:

I am looking for a good laptop and was wondering if you
would be interested in maybe taking 1/2 cash - 1/2 trade.
This is what I have to offer……….
IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT MY MASSAGES ARE
ALMOST AS GOOD AS SEX

Intriguing. I must admit that I read on. The author continues,

I give a full body Swedish/French massage and do offer
sexual tension release.
I don’t watch a clock nor do I charge by the hour. I like to
work on you until I get out as much tension and relieve stress
as I can without hurting you.

What exactly is a Swedish/French massage? I think the “sexual tension” bit is pretty clear. And what about the masseuse herself?

I am 44 (but look like I’m in my 30’s) I have been giving
massages for 22 years and if I my say so myself….
DAMN I GOOD AT WHAT I DO. .

Sold! No, not really. It’s more than a little creepy, to be honest. But it was funny. If you have a laptop and are looking for a Swedish/French massage with sexual tension release, Craigslist is your place.
