I posted a few items to sell on craiglist and got some responses I've never seen before. I listed clothes for sale, single items and I got a slew of email responses. They all appeared to be from different people with different email addresses, but they had a series of 6 random letters after the description of my item in the subject line. for example CWCZEM. There were 6 emails that were like this, all from different people and all within 3 minutes of each other. when I opened the email the email contained more letters not forming any words.
Here is the list of emails for the first incident:
[email protected]

Should I not have opened the emails?
It happened again an hour later, but this time it was less suspicious with the subject line containing my item title. This time there were 5 emails all from different people and all within 3 minutes of each other.
Here is the list of emails from the second incident:

On another posting of some toys I listed I got an email from a person asking about my item. Here is the emails
First email:
hey is this huge lot of [toys description placed here] etc still selling...
I emailed back to say they were and I get this response:
Don't sell this!
I just wanted to let you know that I was selling a few things on CL just like you. I ended up realizing a lot of people get ripped off, its over-all NOT SAFE anymore to meet people from craigslist. A friend of mine told me about an amazing website and said I should check it out so I did. I made about 4000$ last month. I'm making more than I was at my regular job. If I can do it, you can.

If you want help getting started let me know.
The email was sent from:

So my question is what do these people want? In the first case with all those inquiries, what are they trying to do? In the last case, the idiot with the weird dollar sign placement , is he wanting me to click on the link and it takes me to a bogus site?
