Craigslist ad crops up in Minnesota recruiting child actors for daycare centers for when state comes in to ‘observe’ operations
Another Somali scam?

Import scammers, expect scams.
In Hennepin County, Minnesota—where Minneapolis is—a very interesting Craigslist advertisement has apparently cropped up: an unknown daycare center is reportedly recruiting child actors as state officials are expected to make an appearance in the near future—considering the massive wave of negative attention that places like Quality Learing Center have earned for *certain* daycares in the state—and they’re offering a whopping $1,500 per day to each participating child for up to three days in a row, meaning a cool $4,500 cash haul over the span of just a few days.

Of course, this could be a fake ad, but the fact that it appears to have been written by someone whose first language wasn’t English convinces me otherwise: “My family runs day care here…” “To help hurry this state vetting processes…” and of course, “If you are interest….”
Sure, someone making an illegitimate ad could have done this, but it seems more likely that the people with an average IQ of 67 and can’t spell “learning” on their business facade would do something like this. And, the whole story just sounds absurd. They claim to have had a full daycare, and because of “white supremacy” the funding was “cruelly ripped away” and all their clients left, now they need crisis actors. Across all the daycares these people are operating, they can’t round up a couple dozen kids? This guy said it best:
