A forum member on the Kovaks Street Scam Forums found an interesting job offer in Loquo:

Bodyguard” wanted for help to artist eve 21.00-02.00 can pay 6-8 €

I am making a photo art project (non paid) for myself at night in some spots of Barcelona where I do not want to be alone with my camera. Therefore – looking for somebody who is:

- reliable
- good built and big, would say over 175 cm height
- can defend himself + me against eventual robbers/attackers/rapist/etc.
- who speaks either English/german/Scandinavian
- copy of your passport/ID and proof of your residence needed for my own safety reasons Eventually can you have more jobs later depending on how it goes and how I get along.

Barcelona, by the way, is a safe city. As in safe to your physical well-being. While there is a lot of scam activity in the center – which is Kovaks’ specialty – getting physically assaulted is not a usual occurrence. This person is a wee bit paranoid.
