Has anyone here made any real money from advertising on Craigslist? I doubt their are any legit people on there looking to pay normal rates. The reason being they can easily Google up for example "electrician in Philadelphia Pa" and get like 15 electricians to call. So what would make someone troll craigslist for an electrician? Simple dirt cheap prices.
I'm going to make up a fake ad for $20 an hour just to see what kind of responses I get:lol:
have fun... this is from the akron area, where they are finding bodies buried in
shallow graves who answered craigslist ads... there are all sorts of interesting
folks on the internet......
"The farm advertised on Craigslist does not exist; the remote Noble County
area where two bodies were found 90 miles south of Akron is property owned
by a coal company and often leased to hunters.
The men who interviewed for the Craigslist ad came from around the country
but shared much in common. They were middle-aged or just beyond, between
47 and 58 years old.
They were unattached, either single or divorced. They needed work badly enough
that they were willing to travel hundreds of miles on the barest of details about
the job. Above all, they seemed the type of men whose disappearances might go
unnoticed for a while.
Ron Sanson, of Stow, said he responded to the ad and met Beasley at a shopping
mall food court outside Akron on Oct. 10. Beasley told him he was looking for an
older, single or divorced person to watch over a 688-acre farm in southeast Ohio --
the kind of man, Sanson says, whose disappearance might not be quickly noticed.
"How many other people have filled out an application, met with the guy and, you
know, and no one knows they're gone right now?" Sanson has said."
