Who are these people and how do we find them? Craigslist is a cool and very useful website, but of course, the scammers are out there using it to rip off the unemployed.
They post a bogus job ad, then they try to con you out of your personal info when you apply.
And then, you know, they steal you blind.
On a related note, I signed up for AARP not too long ago and created a profile on their website. Much to my surprise I was almost immediately emailed by someone who wanted to be my friend. How nice.
Turns out she’s a poor Nigerian woman who recently underwent a great calamity that had lost her a tremendous sum of money, and she needed my help. There was a lot of money involved. I really wanted to help her, but I just don’t have any to spare at the moment. I did offer her some free suggestions on improving her grammar, though.
