Craigslist ad looking for buyers and the reply i received back.

I posted an ad on craigslist looking for interested investors / cash buyers who are looking to purchase when i have properties available in the future. I did not say I had a property and then say oh sorry its sold but give me your info and ill get back to you. I was upfront that i am building my buyers database. 

I got an email that asked if I still have the house for sale. I replied that as my ad stated, I have no house just looking for buyers for the future. here is the next email from this person. Obvious a wholesaler which is fine but the response is a "robo response" as i call it. I am looking at wholesaling and this type of person ,to me ,is the type that cause people to hate wholesalers.

Hey @Jacob Michaels  yes knowing that how people operate I am ahead of the game. I had to mess with them a bit, i doubt they even saw this:

Great. We have a few questions before we call you.
Is the house in good condition ?

I feel it is in pretty good shape.

Does it need any repairs ?

Other then its missing 3 walls and the roof I dont believe so.
How long have you been in the property ?

3
Why are you selling it ?

I need cash for my "operation"
Are you flexible on the price ?

No I need what I am asking.
If we paid all cash and closed quickly what would you need ?

At Least $75,000 plus a ZR1 corvete.
What's the best number to call you if we have anymore questions ?

The one that does not involve an automatic email response. If you read my email I stated that I am a wholesaler like yourself and that I did not have a house. I am looking for buyers to add to my data base.
