As I said, if it were me, I would have asked a lot more questions. Online personal ads or not (which are not always, but frequently are, dating ads), this woman clearly broadcast that she wanted something. I would have treated it like a business relationship until explicitly told otherwise.
In the case I mentioned in Korea, it took me to clarify that this was business, not pleasure, and that we were looking for legal ways to recompense me for my services. From an outside standpoint it may have looked like we were dating. We weren't.
OP should have made it clear which one it was.

I should have been more clear. I was applying not my feelings, but how this situation may be looked at by other people (police, etc.)
"There is no free lunch..." She offered him a free meal and a job opportunity. What was he giving her? Well, we found out at the end. That's how I think it may be seen by some.
Don't get me wrong, I feel for the OP. And next time he will be smarter about how he goes about dealing with blind dates and people offering him expensive things for free.
