Responded from a text I thought came via Care.com, recieved this blatantly scammy email.

"Hello Tylar, thank you for responding to my text.I live in new york but i am moving to your area on 15th of December and i will need a nanny for my 6yrs old Son immediately between the hours of 8:30am to 1:30pm Monday`s through Friday`s as started in my text. I hope you are available this hours.More importantly, My son is currently placed on a wheelchair due to an accident he had some weeks ago. he can walk a short distance though but the specialist advised he uses a wheelchair for a while. I am willing to pay $15/hour. I really need a honest and responsible care for him. This could be a temporary/permanent job. It depends on what your schedule looks like but i do like to be sure if you are available the first month. I am planning on getting him a powered wheelchair and have contacted a seller. I will let you know as soon as we finalize issues. I will like you to send me your complete name,address and cell phone number so i can include that to my payroll for the period. I also will like you to tell me a few things about yourself. Here is a little about me. I am a single mother, I am 39 and i am hard of hearing. I have lived in Irving, Texas all my life. I attended Texas School for the Deaf where i achieved my highest qualification. I have my own business (Self Employed). I am never married. I attend the catholic. You will get to know more when we meet. Kindly include in your email your complete name,address and also your cell phone number so i can text you in case i need to pass an urgent information.

Thank You"

Inserted was a photo of a young woman in a gray sweater posing with a boy on an orange motocross bike. I gave the low life a good piece of my mind.
