I need advice can someone please read?

I have an ad on c-list to do childcare here is an email I recieved. I feel a little weird giving out that info does this sound real or like a scam? Could someone do something bad with that info



Hello,

I am David single father who lives in the Netherlands(Europe).I will be relocating to the United Sates of America ( U. S.A) due to my transfer to Washington. I am looking for childcare/babysitter who can assist me to watch my daughter while i am at work.I want you to get back to me with your service charges from monday to friday.

Thanks as i await your sincere reply.



MY REPLY-Hello,

I am very flexible and would like to make it a reasonable price. Do you have a price range your looking for? How old is your daughter? What city will you be living in and do you know about when you will be coming to live here?



HIS REPLY- Thanks for your quick response to my email.I will be arriving Redmond by friday 19th Nov and i will like to set up an interview with you and my daughter on 20th of Nov before you resume fully on the 22nd of Nov but i have to make sure everything is well organized and arrange before leaving. I want you to get back to me with your service charges from monday to friday.You will be watching her from 9am-4pm.





Nicole is 2 years old,she likes to play around with kids and like to be pampered with toys. My daughter is healthy,i just need someone to take care for her when am at work.All necessary contracts will be filled on the interview thats if you do the contract thing.





I would like you to get back to me with your total charges for a month during your available periods because my affilated company will make an upfront payment for my first month in the states to help me settle down.

100% scam.



That scammer does not have a child, is not traveling and does not care how much you charge for babysitting. The next email would say that you are hired, your price is perfect and he would like to pre-pay for a month or 2 of babysitting services. He will send you a fake check for a huge amount, you are suppose to cash the check immediately and then send someone else your cash via Western Union or moneygram for some reason. That "someone else" will just be the scammer using another of his fake names and free email addresses to pick up your cash anonymously and disappear forever.



The only "job" here is your paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and the entire amount of money you sent to the scammer. There are similar stories posted at the 2 sites listed below if you would like to read more about how this type of scam works.
It's a SCAM - a classic overpayment scam



DO NOT respond for any reason - these scams are all over the internet



NEVER provide any information like that until you have actually MET them and decide if you want to work for them or notI need advice can someone please read?

Unfortunately, that's a MAJOR scam... NEVER reply to anything that asks for that information at the bottom. Never know who may end up with it...
SCAM RUN LIKE HELL!!!!!!!!!!
DON'T DO IT! This is a scam, and if you go through with it he could steal your identity. Trust me on this one.
Trust your intuition and walk away from this one. The next thing you know is that he will probably want your bank account # so he can process the payment. He also doesn't seem to concerned about rates which is another red flag as all companies have their limits.
I believe this is a scam as someone else posted as similar ad (exact wording) for a babysitter in Minnesota. The person claimed to be from Australia in that one. Note! any professional person looking for some one to watch his kids while his company paid the tab would not post on Craigslist, they would go through a licensed agency.
