In reply to Paula Hendrickson. That's a great investigative report, you're right. Not a bad one to pitch to a Time or a Newsweek.

In reply to lwidmer. You might have an article idea there, Lori: what really happens when you report potentially illegal "job ads" to craigslist (or other boards)?

In reply to Paula Hendrickson. Reported it, Paula. Not sure anyone at Craig's List pays any attention to when someone reports something like this. That similar ad in LA was up weeks after I'd reported it (as had others here).

Were you able to flag that or report it? It’s obviously not a writing job. I’m surprised they didn’t have age, weight, and height requirements and demand a photo.

Wow. The porn companies are getting more creative in their ads, aren’t they? Give me a break. It’s also insulting to legitimate erotica writers.

There are so many red flags in ads lately, and they’re getting worse. The whole thing jusst gives me a headache.
