Oh you all are going to love this.

I just received a response to one of my apartment listing emails.  Perfect timing to go with the blog of a couple of hours ago.  I really only asked for a viewing to just see which scammer this one was.

Read it and enjoy.  Everything down to the questions was one big paragraph.  I put breaks in so it is easier to read.   Just how stupid do they think we are?
