This is just too funny to be real. A post on Craigslist in the city of Minneapolis is supposedly from a daycare center that is looking to hire up to twenty child actors.
Since anyone can post something on the marketplace/message board website, it could be from anyone, but given the intellect of the Minneapolis fraudsters we have seen in recent weeks, it may very well be real.
In their defense, they are at least offering good money for the actors they seek to hire.
PJ Media reported:
Is a Minneapolis ‘Daycare’ Trying to Hire Child Actors on Craigslist?
Either a Minneapolis fake daycare is actually trying to hire child actors to restart taxpayer funding or someone is playing a truly extraordinary practical joke on Craigslist users.
A listing posted several days ago on Craigslist from “Help Us Daycare” actually advertises a desire to hire “child actors for 3 day contract (Ventura Village).”. The listing claims the daycare lost state funding due to “white supremacy” and asserts that it needs to hire 20 child actors for a few days to show up to the fake daycare because the “ENTIRE client base has already found new daycare services.” So when the state investigators arrive, the listing explains, kids need to be on site. The listing seems too insane to be sincere. On the other hand, when you consider the craziness uncovered in the Minnesota Somali daycare fraud investigation, perhaps this entry warrants a little government scrutiny…
The Craigslist listing rambles, “Due to this insane poor decision clear in white supremacy, we had to close our doors immediately. We must prove we are a function day care to get the funding back. The issue is, the ENTIRE client base has already found new daycare services so we need to find new clients base quickly.” I would feel more confidence in the alleged functionality of the daycare if the person composing this could actually write English.
The crazy listing continues, “To help hurry this state vetting processes, we are looking to hire 20 child actors for 3 days, while state is present on site. We pay up to $1500 actor, per day. If you are interest, please send your child’s age and a note of what makes your child a special actor. Submit phone number as well, as we will be doing quick phone interviews as part of hire process.” The tone is certainly rather desperate.
