I just posted this to FB too, but it amuses me so much I will also post it here.
I answered a cl ad for a documentary and got asked my bra size and photos and solicited to "make $3500 or more tonight." Sounds like quite a deal. This email volley ensued. Read from bottom to top, as you do.

Also, your recruitment methods are highly sleazy.

I'd be interested in participating in your documentary. I'm a 24-year-old master's student at the New England Conservatory of Music, though I moved to Boston from Houston after having spent middle school, high school and undergrad there.
