I occasionally browse Craigslist for writing jobs. I have never done one
but I like to look and see what is potentially out there. I also look
for social media jobs that would be interesting. I was browsing Craigslist as I normally do and I saw that a couple people were looking for
someone to do school work for them. One person wanted to pay someone to
do his online work and another one wanted someone to finish all of his
friends high school course work. This is so wrong! It is totally
dishonest and bad. It reminds me of when tv shows would talk about
people buying someone's old reports or even a kid doing a bully's
homework. I didn't realize this was going on. If Noah ever tried that he
would be in so much trouble. Is this a new trend? Why isn't Craigslist
doing anything? This brings cheating to a whole new level. Who knows if
the person who did online school or online college is really the person
holding the degrees? Man, this is so sad.
This is a real Craigslist posting. I took the screenshot myself.
They
are looking for someone smart. No way! You have to complete a really
long and I mean really long list of things which all have a final exam.
There are probably about 40 things on the list. You have to do it in
five days but if you complete it in less than five then you get a $100
bonus. The best part of this ad... You have to keep it a secret. My dear
sweet Craigslist user. You don't know about IP addresses do you? They
know where you are. They can find out who you are. You want to scam some
school and you publicly post about it on Craigslist. You are not only
breaking moral laws but I am sure there are some kind of fraud laws that
you, your friend, and the person hired are breaking. You are also
defrauding the Florida Department of Education. Obviously your friend
has slacked off for who knows how long but then all the sudden has the
urge to amount to something and gets everything done in five days or
less. He will get a B average too. That is not at suspicious, not one
tiny bit.
So, if you work for the online high school in Florida
and someone gets all his work done in five days or less with a b average
it might be worth taking a look at it. My dear sweet Craigslist poster
don't worry your friend can still get their high school diploma in
prison. Don't give up hope.
