Prison garden gnome has a sad

It must have seemed like a good idea at the time. The time would, presumably, have been sometime after Happy Hour, as you’d have to be drunk or crazy to think this would actually work. Still, we like the audacity of posting the same ad for a fraudulent scheme six separate times on Canadian Craigslist rival Kijiji.

I mean, the Toronto real estate market is tight, but it’s no Vancouver, you know what I mean? No need for this madness.

To wit:

Job letter needed for mortgage purpose…we pay up to $500/$600

Important Safety Warning:

Yep. Somebody out there thinks rando high-rollers sift through free online classified sites looking for opportunities to commit fraud. Real estate fraud. Bank fraud. As in ten years.

What could possibly go wrong???

Toronto Police Service: You’re welcome.
