Baby Sitting Scam [email protected]

I received on offer almost immediately after creating a care.com account to baby sit for a man who's wife recently died leaving the daughter in a wheelchair. I noticed some things wrong with the email and I found almost the exact same story on this website! Here is the email:

Thanks for your response. I live in Massachusetts but i am moving to your area By March and i will need a Babysitter/Nanny for my 4yrs old daughter immediately between the hours of 9:30am to 2:30pm Monday`s to Friday`s. I hope you are available this hours but if you are not let me know your availability. I lost my wife 3 months ago . It was my late wife birthday and She decided to take my daughter Cynthia out while i was still at work. Cynthia happens to be the only survival from the accident, Cynthia is currently placed on a wheelchair due to an accident She had with my late wife , She can actually walk a few distance though but the specialist advised She uses the chair for a while . I have had terrible times in the last few months and this is one of the reasons i have decided to move to a new area because staying here brings back some sad memories.

I am planning on getting her a powered wheelchair that can be fold so you won't have any problem moving around with the wheel chair if need arises to move it and its very portable so it won't take much space and i have already spoken to a buyer about getting the portable wheel chair.

I am single father 45 years of age I have lived in Mississippi all my life but i am moving to your area in a few weeks. I have my own business(Self Employed) I am construction and building contractor You will get to know more when we meet.Kindly include in your email your ADDRESS, PHONE NO& PICTURE so I can know the person am talking to.

Thank You,
Ben.

This story is not true!

What is Ben's email address?

Ben is not in Massachusetts or Mississippi. He is a sub-Saharan African. It is obvious from his writing.
