Another Cappy Cap Job Posting

Howdy All,

Alex over at Academic Composition is looking to hire some people again and since I know a lot of you are either in college or fresh out of college and looking for some cash, thought this might be up some of your alleys.  Of course, nothing glamorous or glorious, but it will pay some bills.  Basically he's looking to expand his homework-writing business and needs people to post ads on Craigslist.

Here are the specifics he's provided me:

If you reside in one of the below listed regions, you can seize this opportunity by posting ads on craigslist.
1. Los Angeles
2. New York
3. Boston
4. Houston
5. Dallas
6. Denver
7. Vancouver
8. Chicago
Next, all you'd need to do is follow this simple four step process to receive a $25 start-up compensation.

A. Create a new gmail account
B. Set up the forwarding features to ensure that all of their incoming emails are automatically re-directed to me (sounds more complicated than it really is, most people will be able to figure out how to do this within 3 minutes)
C. Use the new GMAIL account to set up a Craigslist account
D. Receive my ads and prepare to post them in the city where they reside


If you post the ad specifically as you were instructed to, it will not be flagged and removed by craigslist. If your ad stays live on the forum for one full week, you will be paid $20. If it stays for a full 12 hours, a $15 compensation is in order. If it only lasts three days, I'll pay you $10. If it survives for a mere 3 hours, you'll be paid $5.

Again, I know it's not an investment banking position, but it beats delivering pizzas.

So if it lasts for 12 hours, you get paid more than if it lasts for three days? This doesn't seem right.

You don't have to live in those cities to post ads on those cities... So can't I just post this individual's ad on all those cities in multiple categories?

The fact they don't post them themselves suggests they are violating the terms of service and by extension the computer fraud and abuse act. Violators of the CFAA may face stiff penalties.

Hey Cappy.

If anyone of the junior cappettes thinks of this -- you cannot recycle. Most universities use something like turnitin (google it) to screen the submitted prose against their database of answers to the same problem.

Or, if you are lazy and vindictive (i.e., me) require the assignment be handwritten

And if any of you are in college -- do your own work. Learning to turn in stuff that is frankly crud but appeases your most politically blinkered and stupid tutor is nothing compared with dealing with the average boss.
