Babysitting [email protected]

Hello,

I was sent an email from craigslist about someone wanting me to babysit for them. They wanted to send me a US certified check then give a cab driver the extra money. Their information is below:

Hello i just want to know if you can care for my daughter in your place for 1month start from April 1st to April 30 from Monday to Friday and the cost for it.. if not available please get back to me with available date and time for you to care for my daughter....

please reply direct to my private email ( [email protected] ). Thank You

How silly I feel...

I bet they specified who the cab driver is (a mule working for them). The little bit of writing you posted looks African, and it sounds like a variant of the catering scam.

Welcome to Scamwarners Blessedmama33,

In this particular script/scam the scammer wants to send you a fraudulent check. He will have you deposit it and pay the fake Cab Driver. He will tell you some made up reason why he can not pay the Cad Driver to deliver his fake child. The fake Cab Driver is the scammer himself or a money mule.

Cease all contact with scammer and never send money to anyone you never met face to face.
