Selling a boat on Craig's List...

I listed Drift Away on Craig's List in several markets down here in the SE US. I got quite a few genuine inquiries. I also received a check for $120,000 (I'm asking $79,000) with the balance to be given to the delivery captain. That check bounced. I also got inquiries from four yacht brokers who want to list my boat, which I did with non-exclusive listings. But in the past few days, I've gotten several emails like this...

Pls read if you're real and go through my direction. My pics and cell phone # are placed on my exclusive profile so if you get pleasure from what you see then grab my # and text/call me right away. This is the ONLY way to prevent pyschos and to confirm you're a honest person especailly since I want to host at my house. I'm not a phony so stop second guessing me. If you think I'm not real then move on. I'm a sexual lady in bedroom so prefer to tell you over the phone what Im on the search for in a guy rather than wasting my time and writing here. I just hope you are the real deal too! xoxo

So my question is... is this legit? Is this lady hitting on me? Have I stumbled onto a dating site much more effective than match.com??

I've received so many that think I'm incredibly sexy that I'm thinking there must be something to this. And they're all local! Not one came from Nigeria!
