I got just about the same message but the scammer said the family was coming from Australia.
here is what they said to me: Hello,
How are you doing? You are so right about your service been needed . I am relocating to your neighborhood from Australia. I recently got a contract with a company on a private research job. However, i need someone that will help in running some few errands and pet sitting.
I need someone to work 3 days per week 3 hours per day, someone that is matured either young or old, loves pets, reliable and punctual. You will take care of a yr old Australian Terrier for three days a week and will have to take him on a walk, give him a bath, meals, brush his hair and make him comfortable while we are away.
Responsibilities for him will be to look after him, feed him meals, bath, keep him clean and safe. My pet is my life so i entrust you to give him the best care..
I will be offering you $480 weekly, i will be needing your services for 4 hours at any suitable time of yours between Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If you believe you are fit for this position in as much you will prove yourself to be a reliable and good person, I will instruct my financial to pay for the first week before our arrival so as to secure your service in advance.
I will be waiting to hear from you...
They also said: No problem about working for us, we will be living close to your neighborhood. I and my family would be coming into town on the 20th of February so let me know when its most convenient for you to start and also my financial Clerk will make out a check to you before our arrival. You will receive a Certified Check which you will deduct your wages of $480 for the first week and the remaining funds will be used to buy foodstuffs and other things needed in the house. You will be getting the foodstuffs and some other items which you believe might be needed on or before the day of our arrival which will be the 20th of February. Actually our flights from Australia will arrive at night so you will be getting the foodstuffs in the morning and making all other preparations.
I will also instruct my estate agent to mail the keys of the apartment to you so as to do all other necessary preparations before we arrive. You have to get all this shopping before our arrival so that we wont have to start running around when we arrive, So my financial Clerk would be needing the following information to make out the check payment.
