Does anyone at jjobs.com ever check the ads before they're posted?

You've won the Zimbabwean Lottery!

Oh shut up. My Nigerian Princess housemaid is polishing my shoes. We leave tomorrow on our pleasure cruise in the Caribbean to celebrate her 19th birthday. I gave her my charge card to order the tickets myself. : :

 

Hi, boots!

 

The only thing they don't ask for in that ad is a social security number.

 

That's the first thing they'll ask for when the person contacts them, though.

 

Sharing a personal experience there, alley?

 

Alley's probably speaking from logic. After all they need your social security number so they can take taxes out of your "paycheck"

 

And your banking information so they can set up "direct deposit" of said "paycheck."

 

So it's still considered direct deposit if they directly deposit funds from your account?

 

Whatever it was, it's been pulled from the site.

 

Same thing happened to Poynter's job site a couple of days ago.
I was checking out Romenesko and it had a window for the top three jobs and one was a Nigerian scam. (APSE's has been there as well)
I don't know how long it was up, but I found it amusing.
