Wanna Rake In The Dough

Get paid daily, it's not an MLM, and you'll be raking in the dough. Cute picture. However, this is obviouisly SPAM. It's also against Craigslist Terms of Service. If you see this ad, flag it as Prohibited.

Ad by the way, where do you find an ad like this? Under Sales Jobs of course! With titles like:

Wine Enthusiasts
done that
Eat your veggies
Sunday Nite Blues?

This was a nice blog until you started talking about creating a spam list. I don't think that's a great idea. Why embarrass people posting on craigslist. To be honest, what you are doing is violating craigslist rules. Where do you draw the line? You'll also tick off enough people where your own posts will be flagged as spam every day.

My intent in not to embarrass people. My intent is to keep Craigslist as legit as possible. Go take a look at Craigslist. There are tons of people posting the same ad over and over and over again. And about 100% of those ads are MLM, Pyramid schemes, etc.

Unfortunately, the people who post these ads are probably not to blame, it's probably the MLM they joined, or their sponsor that told them to promote the product that way. And that they would get rich if they followed in their footsteps. Sorry, been there done that. Legit jobs, as defined by Craigslist, do not require up front fees, or involve MLMs. Those are not jobs, and they shouldn't be posted here.

Look at the ad above. Eat your Veggies, and Wine Enthusiasts?! Come on... It's ads like that that will ruin it for everyone.

We'll see how things go. See what others say. If the consensus is to get rid of the SPAM list, then maybe I will. I don't want this to turn into a Craigslist Best of Spam collection. I started this as a learning experience to posting on Craigslist. It's not as easy as I originally thought.
