When building a buyers list, is this allowed?

[Account Closed]

I watched a youtube video about creating a buyers list via craigslist. The approach I watched was about creating a "fake" post about a house that does not actually exist. Apparently the key is to add an image and also to make obviously appear like a really good (but not to good) deal. After doing this you just sit back and wait for the emails to come in. Once you get them you can reply and say that the house has been sold, but I will add them to my list of buyers for other possible houses like this.

Is this allowed?

I saw a comment on the video stating "I wish this was acceptable, I'd end up in court"
