LOL, before I read this thread, I would have thought this craigslist ad below was legit. Now not so sure, especially about the "not copies of your previously published posts" request toward the end.

Plugged into what?s going on in Las Vegas? Do you consider yourself an intrepid insider when it comes to recommending shops, restaurants, hotels, and attractions to visiting friends?
Major NY-based travel publisher seeks experienced blogger to provide 3-5 posts/week focusing on Las Vegas as a travel destination. Topics can include (but are certainly not limited to) hotel and restaurant openings, roundups of topical attractions, new and noteworthy shops, first-hand advice, important tourism news, etc.
Posts should be short, snappy, authoritative, engaging, compelling, smart (snarky and irreverent if called for), conversational, and above all, just plain addicting to read! Gridskipper (http://gridskipper.com) is a pretty good model, though overall tone should be consistent with our established editorial voice.
To apply for the position, please send the following:
1. Resume
2. Why you?re the ideal person to cover Las Vegas (in 40 words or less)
3. A link to your existing blog (if you don?t have a blog, please don?t apply)
4. Three timely posts, each including: headline, 150-200-word blurb, and appropriate tags (these should be written up from scratch based on the above guidelines, not copies of your previously published posts)
If we like what we see we?ll email you back with all the deets, including rate, posting schedule, etc.
