accident he had some weeks ago.he can walk a few distance though but
the specialist advised he uses the chair for a while.The rate is
$15/hour.He is 6yrs old and 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 New York all my life but i am
moving to your area in a few weeks. I have my own business(Self

catholic.You will get to know more when we meet.Kindly include in your
email your picture, your complete name,address and your mobile number
and so i can text you in case i need to pass an urgent information.

This is a standard scam. The scammer wants to send you a fraudulent check, have you cash it, and then have you forward most of the cash to his "wheelchair seller" (really just a link in his scam chain,as there is no child and no wheelchair.) Later, when the fake check is discovered, you would be held accountable for the full amount, including any money you withdrew and sent--and you could face fraud charges.

Just cut off all contact with this scammer. If you have given him your address and he has sent a check, just tear up the check or turn it in to the police. Please post the email address the scammer is using as well.
