Last week I listed an old laptop I have for sale on Craigslist. Here is one of the more amusing scams I received.

I am intrigued by the prospect of your interracial beloved lover receiving and cherishing my item. I hope that they will love and hold my item as much as I have over these past years, and If you could send a picture of your lover, I would even bless my item to their image. But I fear your lover will never have the enjoyment I had with the item, as I do not participate in modern currencies and will only except payment for my item in gold.
