| 2. | CLIT | ||
|
A CLIT is one unit of a completed CraigsList Internet Transaction. CraigsList is the global online haven increasingly used by scammers, fraudsters and perverted criminals: a haven long- known for catering to the underbelly of human trafficking, recently forced by legal action to shut down part of their operation. However, more legitimate transactions are being flagged off the service, in favor of those posted by violators in various industries. Mom: I posted our summer house on Craigslist, it keeps getting flagged and deleted, but Vito from work posted his house, and he actually sold within 2 weeks. I am steamed.
College Student daughter: Mom, don't you know, only mob linked people get business done with Craigslist. If you do any business you get a CLIT. Some guys have thousands of CLITs. Mom: Wash your mouth out with soap, that's vulgar. College Student daughter: That's what' I'm telling you, more than not ppl who use Craiglist are vulgar criminals. You're lucky it was flagged or else a CLITTER could have come to the house and raped you. |

Misleading
Scam These people have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars filling the internet with LIES. They speak at schools, post ads on Craigslist, and I honestly think these people are brainwashed in to believing their own lies. Tell motivated college students that they will make tons of money over the summer and convince them to rush in to signing contracts and selling innocent homeowners a crappy paint job. You end up investing your own money in an internship. BIG RED FLAG. This money goes to rich CEO's. Go read REAL testimonies of people who's college lives were ruined by this SCAM. A lie that will make you lose money. They ask you hypnotizing questions like,
We are interviewing 50 people today. (LIE) Does College Works Painters sound like a competitive job that you would be interested in? We are a company that has lasted 17 years, does that sound successful? We want to you to sign this contract to ensure your business promotion. Does that sound productive. |
