Just to warn others in case...I received a text message from someone who said she saw my number on care.com and a friend of hers lives near me and needs a babysitter. The text asked me to email the friend at [email protected]
It seemed suspicious but I tried. I received the email below which is obviously bogus because of the relocating to my area story (but she doesn't know where my area is?), the language,the details, and finally because I put down no experience or references on care.com so they have no way of knowing if I am a quality babysitter!
