craigslist spam ads, what's the angle?

If you use craigslist you've seen car ads with low low prices and some weird ass text like:

"She saw him adding the drug to his wine and confronted him in front of Arlis, who was horrified. The Prince asked if she could save his squire addiction as her older brother had succombed to it. ....."

Below the pictures of the car or whatever.

What are they trying to accomplish with these ads? What's the angle?

Sounds like an advertisement promoting drinking wine.

I am sure tired of the "free kleenex, free tide, free whatever" crap that is spam on CL.

I am on CL all the time (have two things I am giving away right now) and the spammers sure love the place.

i like CL too, in the north jersey one, there are lots of scammers...you can almost pick them out, if they have " img " in the title , they are scam/spam/phishing
