    I had excellent success with Craigslist!! That's how I got the family of 3 I have now. I received no spam, and about 5 legit responses from it. ::

      Yes it's spam. I got these also. I just forward them to my fiance's boss (DA) and they look into it. Not all of them are actually out of the country, they just say they are. Most are people in the states saying they are from out of the country. They say they need you and are willing to pay in advance +cost of toys and they want to give a money order or cashier type of check but international. I guess what they do is send you the payment and wait until you deposit it (takes a while) then cancel services with you by saying that they aren't needed after all and ask for the money (or part of the money) to be wired back to them and then they cancel the funds in the deposit so you just ended up wiring them money and no deposit from them, you get *ssed out.

        What I love is when you live at least an hour away from a big city and they say they are coming to your area because they are a model working for Boss Perfume, etc. Yeah, right, light there's a big, international modeling agency out in this small college town! SPAM! However, I have found a couple families from Craigslist. The really weird thing is that just when I am looking to fill a spot, I get a ton of calls that got my name from other sources (Yellow Pages, DHS's list of licensed providers, etc). It's like I send out the wish for a new client and they just come to me, even before I post an ad. But when I'm full I could go months with a call.

          I got one really great client from CL. I keep advertising and all I get now is spam and calls from people looking for a job.
