    I feel bad for the ones who will fall for this. It's frightening how many people will think nothing of trusting people like this. :thumbdown:

    Is it possible to report this to Craigslist as a scam?

    Yes, there will be some people who will fall for it. :(

    Ty's poor spelling and grammar are a pair of red flags.You could report this listing to CL.

    Scammers abound! I got one that I saw right through--regarding of all things Medicare. I know what they are after--give us your SS# and we will tell you if you are getting all you can from Medicare. HA! And you should see the return address that needs a stamp--Ummm I don't think so.

    Maybe he should work on his spelling and/or grammar before publishing this scam ... just a thought.

    First, the grammar alone should start bells and whistles going. I real employer should have better grammar. Then the idea of paying some one to consider me for a job is crazy. SCAM all the way!

    Sounds like the e-mails I get asking whether I would partner with them on something or send in some money as proof of my trustworthiness to claim a large amount of money. I read them because they're so funny.
