Harvard student offers $40,000 a year for someone to pose as him in college

Fancy attending Harvard while making $40,000 a year? Well then, all you have to do is pretend to be an real Harvard student…

There have been some pretty odd Craigslist ads posted online before, but we think this is definitely up there with the strangest… There appears to be a Harvard student in the US who would prefer to sit around the house all day rather than going to his classes in the esteemed college. So he’s looking for someone else to do his extra credit work for him. Posting under the "writing gigs" section of Craigslist's Pittsburgh section, the ‘Harvard student’ is offering money to anyone willing to "attend all classes, pass all tests, and finish all assigned work, while pretending you are me." Here’s a look at what the post says: You must have either a 4.0 GPA in high school, or a 3.5 or higher GPA from a university to get hired for this. Your age does not matter, but you must be a male since I have a male name. I am looking for someone to attend Harvard University pretending to be me for four years, starting August 2014. I will pay for your tuition, books, housing, transportation, and living expenses and pay $40,000 a year with a $10,000 bonus after graduation. All you have to do is attend all classes, pass all tests, and finish all assigned work, while pretending you are me. You do not need to worry about being accepted, I have already taken care of that. If interested please email me a little info about yourself, and we can meet in person to discuss further. Sadly, the post has been removed by Craigslist mods, but that hasn’t stopped people from applying for the job, even though it was probably fake anyway.
