guy spamming fake ad for room on craigslist

[futurefields]

This guy has posted a variation on this ad consistently on a weekly basis for well over a year. I think he's just collecting email addresses on people who are "420 friendly" for some nefarious purposes. Any thoughts?

Maybe people get there and he's scraggly or the place is a dump and he can't keep any renters for long. I can't see the DEA bothering with this, they've got much bigger fish to fry.

Maybe he just wants to meet stoners hoping they'll share their stash.

Maybe get them stoned enough that they won't notice their wallet was gone long enough for all CC#s to get taken down

I know because this time last year I was looking for a cheap room to rent and now I am again and this dude is still spamming the same ad. Never responds to me either. I am literally this guys perfect roommate. I work all the time and am pretty fucking laid back with good roommate etiquette. WTF.

Maybe he just doesn't like you.

I don't like you either.

You'd better watch yourself.

I have the death sentence on 12 systems.

So it's been a year and you have been trying, unsuccessfully, to move out of your mom's basement.

Marijuana? Edibles? Water pipes?

It's pretty common that people allow marijuana to be smoked in the house but not tobacco/cigarettes.

I could go for a nice ciabatta right about now.

could be a spam bot or could be a secret way to look for buyers

I think I'll stop in at Panera Bread on the way home now

As a serious response to this thread, this was immediately my suspicion.
