I recently responded to an ad on Craigslist saying that I could make $600 dollars for writing 50 ads a week. Supposedly, the ads only take 2-5 minutes to complete.
After I responded I received an e-mail back. It read:
"

The writing of ads now became writing "responses." This is when I began to question the job posting.in the hopes of a legitimate opportunity, I sent an e-mail back with my information.
I received this back:
"

In my line of work, you don't have to pay money to make money.in addition to that, we are almost daily warned against responding to ads that make you pay. If this really does pay, it is most likely responding to Craigslist ads with e-mails that contain spam or viruses. If you want to make money this way you should partner up with [email protected] today!
