Spam in Odd Places

I am (as they say in Nashville) currently between labels. Therefore I must spread my resumeatious seed broadly, and hope it finds fertile ground. One of my fields if Craigslist.

Now I'm used to getting a response rate of about 2% from any given source, be it Carrerbuilder, Hotjobs, or what have you. Imagine my surprise anbd delight when I get promp responses from three different Craigslist listings in the Office Management catagory. (Not that that's my first choice, but at least it's air conditioned, and in Houston that's NONTRIVIAL).

One has the phrase
" I am (redacted) by name,(snip)I am presently in Bryanston in London for a short business trip so there will be no interview.I will per-pay you in advance to do my shopping.I will also have my mails and packages forwarded to your address.If you will be unable to stay at your house to get my mails,"

yadda yadda. Nigerian scammer, down to the stilted diction. Plus an "@live" addy.
