Spam of the times

The email spam I'm getting is no longer the "increase the size of your [body part]" variety but instead either "I've found you a job!" or "BUY FORECLOSURES!!!"

What's the strangest housing-related spam you've seen?

UPDATE: Now I've gotten a "help me sell my house" chain letter. (No "break the chain and you'll suffer from pimples the rest of your life" warning at the end, though.)
