Bradenton Police Natasha W. Larson, 35, was arrested for allegedly placing phony sex ads on Craigslist listing the name, address and phone number of her husband's ex-wife.

A Florida woman set up a phony Craigslist ad to send sex-starved men chasing after her husband's ex-wife, cops said.

Natasha Larson, 35, who runs a home day care center in Sarasota, Fla., was arrested last week for allegedly posing as her husband's ex-wife, Tracy Wilder, in steamy ads she placed in the site's personals section, Bradenton police said.

"I am currently dating a decent man but he is lacking some skills in the bedroom," the ad said, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. "It's nice but I need to be thrown around a little bit and to be dominated. That is exciting for me."

The posting claimed she sometimes likes to dominate.

"I also like to take charge sometimes but I need a strong man to keep me in check," the ad said, before listing Wilder's name, address and phone number.

The victim told police she started getting calls and texts in mid-February from salivating suitors saying they were responding to her Craigslist ad, cops said.

In some cases, Wilder said, strange men started knocking on her door, spooking her live-in boyfriend and two children.

"These men were calling, texting and sending pornographic picture messages to me," Wilder said. "So, not only did she endanger my life and safety by sending these strange men to my home, but she endangered her husband's children as well."

At one point, Wilder said she put a note on her door alerting men that the ads were bogus.

Larson was busted after one wooer gave Wilder copies of the emails and the ad he was responding to, cops said.

Entitled "Adventurous Couple," the ad said the woman had a boyfriend, "but he is open to my need to explore," according to a police report posted on The Smoking Gun website.

Investigators tracked the email address' IP address to Larson and arrested her last Thursday. She was charged with a felony identity theft charges.

Cops said Larson admitted to placing the ad and giving out Wilder's name, address and cell phone number.

Cops didn't say why Larson targeted her husband's ex, but Wilder told investigators from the start that she suspected Larson was behind the ploy
