The spam problem on Odesk

This gave me a laugh. People sometimes complain about the spam problem. The above job posing is titled "sdfsdf", the required skills are "sdfsdfsd", which of course, are just home keys. The description inside of the listing is also "sdfsdfsd". Ok, I thought, so someone is bored, and made a dummy job posting just to waste time. That isn't what made me laugh. What I find funny, is that three people have applied for this job!!
Please, leave this job posting up for a while. Every single person who applies for this job is most likely an autobot spammer, and you will be able to investigate.
I have seen worse.
I saw providers who advertise themselves in the job section(dunno if they are just noobs or they're that desperate to get jobs) and there are people who really apply to their postings...lol...

Kind of makes you wonder about their language skills, doesn't it? They can't tell it's a provider and not an actual job post. I've seen that too.

Well, I also applied - just for fun
