This is news why?

Common, craigslist scams been around a while. This is common from eBay circa 1998 haha.

Or if you want, send them a big pile of shit :)

They're not bots. It's real people sending them, but it's just that the scammers copy and paste the same template over and over again. There are probably hundreds of these Nigerians constantly looking for new Craigslist ads to send these emails to.
