I just wanted to comment on a couple of the suggestions here so far... One is where an employer has been a member of the site for a while and it not taking more than 60 days to find a houseboy if they are serious. What about those of us who have actually found houseboys either through this site (or others), but may be looking for a new houseboy? Sometimes house boys don't work out and sometimes they move on to other things. Admittedly all but one that I have had worked out great, but I'm not going to close my account each time. There is also the suggestion of having employers pay $100 a month for membership. Apparently it never occurred to this house boy that not everything revolves around money. In some instances there may be cause for paying a houseboy, and in other instances, room/board, meals, travel and other entertainment (all which costs a lot to the employer) may be sufficient, depending upon the expectations and whatever agreement the employer and houseboy work out. Honestly, I laugh when I read that a houseboy expects things like; a salary, his own car, a computer and of course his room/board, meals, etc... That sounds more like something that should be a full-time job, and I have yet to find a houseboy that works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week! I do like the suggestion that maybe we, as adults, should police ourselves better. Maybe better warnings somehow to educate people that there are fakes, liars and scammers. It's a huge red flag to me when a potential houseboy wants me to send them money. They always have the excuse that they have a car and need money for gas. If I counter that I will buy them a plane ticket or even fly out to meet them where ever they are and help them drive to where I live (paying for expenses along the way), EVERY one of them will decline. I can't think of a legitimate reason why anyone would send someone money like that. If the houseboy is serious, he'll accept the plane ticket or bus ticket or even you going out to pick him up. Otherwise, he's just looking to scam you out of your money! As for those ads directing people to other sites, they should be reported and deleted. Maybe a delay from the time someone signs up on the site, to the time they can communicate with anyone on the site, would deter some of this.
