Scams

Yeah, Yeah- this is one of those lame "don't ya hate it when" rants. Deal with it. I'm irked.

Craigslist has a blight- a blight of scammers. Due to its open policies, it has more than most other sites particularly in its "Jobs" and "Gigs" sections.
Posts asking for tutors, only to find out they're from another country and sending their kid to the States for a short time and want to send you some cashier's checks to cash and give part to their guardian. SCAM! Then the bank calls about the fake cashier's checks.
Posts advertising mystery shoppers, where they want to send you a check to cash and send part back to them through MoneyGram or Western Union claiming they're testing that branch's efficiency. SCAM! Again, the bank will call you about the fake check.
And Lord help you if you're ignorant enough to respond to any "models wanted" posts.
The Job posts I find amusing are the ones asking for writers, editors, or any creative written/visual occupations with incorrect spellings throughout. "Understand" is not spelled "understantd". Any web-designer responding to that one- slap yourself now.
What really blows donkey are the ones under "Jobs" which look like real jobs, but when you respond they send you a link to their "site" where you spend the next 20 minutes answering questions about continuing education.

*sigh*

All this misc crap does is clog up my email ('cause once you respond to one, they swarm at you like it's a feeding frenzy) and make people even more cyber-paranoid about what they're looking at.
STOP WASTING OUR TIME, YOU PAP-SMEARS!!!
