Playboy Mansion job offer was too good to be true
Filed under: Ripoffs and Scams
There's something about cleavage that moves simple men to accept the most preposterous notions. Witness the witless people who were scammed last week by a perp who offered them jobs as security guards at the Playboy Mansion Halloween bash. According to KTLA News, several people showed to meet their boss at the appointed time and place (a Denny's), after paying the cons who posed as organizers an upfront fee of $225 each for uniforms and security passes.
After hanging out at the restaurant waiting until 1 a.m. it finally occurred to them that they had been scammed. No job, no booty, nothing but another lesson on the benefits of thinking with your brain rather than your libido.
After all, for a job working security at the Playboy Mansion, you'd have to pay a lot more than $225, right? At auction, I bet the positions would sell for thousands.

Anyone can go to the Halloween Parties at the Playboy Mansion if you've got connections... We offer access to anyone who wants to party with Playmates and Models. It's a great time, definitely something that is on every males "bucket list".

I am a guy and going to party at the playboy mansion is not on my bucket list because I think it is wrong to objectify women like playboy does.

Speaking of scams. It appears that InsideTheMansion is trying to lure unsuspecting people in to take advantage of them. Don't fall for it.

Why does the author insist on bad mouthing the victims? What about the shameless perps who did this?

Because the guys were idiots! You shouldn't have to pay for a security pass, and as much money as the playboy mansion spends to host a party I would be surprised if the security had to buy uniforms (especially since it is a job, so they should be getting paid, though I bet a lot of guys would work security for free).

It never ceases to amaze me how America, a so-called developed nation is so full of simpletons who literally worship fake women who peddle their flesh as playboy bunnies. In other parts of the world such women are known as prostitutes and are not held in such high esteem. Worse still, parents feel "honored" to have their daughters buy boobs, dye their hair blonde and move into the playboy mansion to sleep with a man old enough to be their great-great-grandfather among others! Sodom and Gomorrah at large.

Masa - I applaud your comment. What you say is definitely true and very sad. Our good old USA isn't any better than any other country who objectify and use women. The Playboy Mansion should of crumbled long time ago, along with Hefner's white socks.

PAYING in order to work/get a job? That should've indicated a scam right away. Those who work perform a job in order to RECIEVE a pay check.

Ian - I do agree with you about some women. NOT all women are like that. But, if men would stop the demand of such magazines, tv shows, etc. the problem would not be there. Men have the power to stop it. If some day it could stop, I'm sure women and children would be in a safer place.

.. OH PUH LEEZE> my sister as the same as myself are very attractive mothers both of us married (and happily i might add) doesnt bother me that my husband looks . but if you think there isnt a woman out there that isnt a bi*ch at some point in their lives and dont nag., especially movie stars and models that MUST HAVE THEIR WAY OR ELSE> you must be living in a dream world. there is no such thing as a perfect woman. no matter how hot we look we have the potential to nag and bi*ch because men are lazy, slobs and expect women to do all the leg work.

The point of the article is about another scam and that it seems to be an everyday occurence in our world anymore),and putting to much faith in mankind... Was playboy the blame?...Hardly....Were the women the blame?...Again, hardly......lol ...Seems most of the post are debating whether men or women are the cause of the world's problems....Or the cause of this scam....lol....Bottom line...We have all been vunerable or weak at times in are lives,(men and women), and this case is no different.....And you cant blame playboy for The main point of the article is getting scammed, (which seems to be objectifying women anymore than you can blame the women for taking advantage of playboy...lol.. For some, it was the best thing they ever did..(whether right or wrong, or good or bad, im not going to debate)..Who knows?...Again, people have been scammed for all kinds of reasons (Not just for a promise of working for playboy..lol), so lets put the blame where the blame is due...In this case...The guys pulling the cheap scam...People can offer you the sun and the moon, are you going to buy it?...Maybe a few of the guys just needed a job, and working for playboy didnt hurt either....Would you pay 225 for a job you knew you were guaranteed to get? ..YES?... Expecially if you needed one?...YES...?...LOL....Who cares where...lol...Lets quit assuming that they were scammed because of there weakness for the opposite sex.....WE DONT KNOW THERE SITUATION OR THERE MIND SET....But the article is trying to put the blame on playboy or women or man's weakness (in this case there trying to say women)....None of the above...Man has been ripping off men since this tech age came about....From counterfit tickets to sporting events,(Do we blame the football or baseball players for are weakness to buy the tickets and got ripped off..lol) to hijacking accts to whatever else i cant think of.......So the blame shouldnt go to the third party (in this case, women, playboy).....
