Say it definitely is available and their husband can meet you at work. You’re officer so and so at your local police station.

Hello, Before we get that far I need to know what denominations of bills your husband will provide. A requirement of my bank is that I cannot deposit more than 10 bills of any denomination. Thank You!

1. provide a ridiculous price and make the location a police station.

2. say “get fucked” and leave it at that.

Of the choices you gave, I vote #2. My take would be to politely ask them if they could please bring another currency, like ponds sterling or pesos. Something that they would need to go the bank to get.

They won’t even see your response. All they do is send thousands of those messages a day, and hope some are dumb enough to expose their email address by emailing the “husband”.

As you know craigslist email relay hides your actual email address, but if you send one outside, to that address they have your actual email address to sell. It’s all automated. There’s not live person scrolling thru the ads and texting the seller of each item.

Just give them increasingly ridiculous commands in order persuade you to email them, and see how far it goes.
