I believe this particular setup is using a script to check the 
classifieds for updates, then mails a standard scam message to any new 
poster via the button on the page.  Just a variation on the same old 
thing.

As an aside, most folks would probably find the number of attacks on an 
Internet server rather astounding.  Between straight hacks, spam, and 
malicious use of the website, the number is in the thousands, often 
tens of thousands, every day.  I highly recommend a separate router 
with firewall to anyone connecting to the net.
