This easily tops my last pick for "craiglist ad most likely to end in murder:

Are you an attractive woman over 18, with an unusually long tongue ?
You could earn great money just for showing off on video.
This is sexy stuff, but not porn.
No nudity involved .. just your face and tongue.
This sounds unusual, I know, but it`s for real.

You can earn great money just showing off your long tongue
and the tricks it can do! We pay $75 per hour.
The videos can be shot by our Kansas City videographer,
or you can shoot them yourself.

Please write to me at videoman_46@yahoo.com

Thank you.
Mike

Every once in awhile, I run across a posting on craigslist that makes me wonder if the poster is looking for someone to murder. Like this one:

From craigslist:

Write porn reviews, get free dvds and get rewarded

Seeking adult dvd reviewers in exchange for free DVDs and/or free access to online videos.

Uh, so what are the requirements for this position? I'm sure not just any man can come off the street and do such a job.

I can't say I've ever read a porn review before. I know. Such a loser. Do you talk about lighting? Or rigidity/flaccidity of different "actors?" Do you point out ass-zits that should've received proper makeup? I'm lost. I won't be applying for this job.

Questionable jobs abound on craigslist, but you really have to appreciate scammers like this:

TELL YOU WHAT WE DON'T DO

No lotions, potions, vitamins, or discount Viagra...

No leads to buy...

No inventory to get stuck with...

No friends and family to hit on...

Just the best company, products in the industry...

Come see how our reps. earn $5,000/Week + ...

Okay, this description doesn't exactly scream "legit." It's more like a "solve this riddle to figure out exactly how you'll get screwed and end up interviewed by John Stossel."

From Craig's List (bold mine):

Get paid way better money plus get FREE Lottery tickets just for doing a good job. Our job is very simple but actually pays really good!

Culligan Water is looking for 2 more people to help us do surveys. Its really simple and we are not selling anything. We simple take quick surveys for informational purposes. But....what's cool is that everytime someone takes a survey for you you get a free lottery ticket. Last week a guy won $50 dollars from one of his tickets and since it's lottery you don't have to pay taxes on it!

Compensation is listed at "$8 to $14 hourly." Isn't that a little high for someone who takes a job based on a "free lottery ticket" benefit package?

In my daily perusal of Craig's List for marketing gigs, I found this (emphasis mine):

We are looking for two individuals who are hard working and need a little extra cash. The job is to dress up as a mascot and wave to children during author signing. We are in need of two mascots for this upcoming event. The event will be held at Sam's Club, 8300 West 135th Street, Overland Park, KS. Pay rate is $10.00 per hour. The schedule will be Friday, August 31, 2007 from 12 noon to 6pm. The mascots will be Thumbs Up Johnnie a thumb print and Banker Bill a $10 bill.

We will need a highly energetic person. Great for a college student. The person will be wearing a costume that consists of black tights, black long sleeved shirt, over that would be a large body hat, gloves and spats that will cover their own shoes. Everything for the costume is provided for them. They will not have to do any talking; however, will need to show a friendly non-threatening demeanor.

Let's break it down:

1. Hard work = Waving at children
2. Pay rate is $10/hr = Desperate for cash or really creepy?
3. Highly energetic = Waving at children takes lots of energy.
4. Non-threatening demeanor = Don't chase the children while wielding a chainsaw and dressed as a $10 bill. We learned our lesson last time.
