  He emailed me about needing a babysitter for his daughter and stuff. He said"i  came across your post, I am looking for a baby sitter for my 3 years old daughter, I am coming around with my family for business trip. Would you be interested in becoming a part time baby sitter." I told him that I was interested in the job. He said" Erika.
  Thank you for getting back to me, I do not have any problem with drop off at your place, like I told you we are coming for business trip to Georgia, I contacted you as babysitter/ Nanny for my daughter on sitter site, because I want her to get used to the environment around her and also make new friends, she loves to swim and visit the park around once a while. The main reason why I need someone to get this done for us is because we are expecting our baby boy very soon, and it might be a little bit stressful for my wife and for myself because I have to make sure she is fine and get her to the Hospital for her check up and more, while I am doing all this I don't want Merinda to feel lonely or bored, our duration is your area would be for 2 months or more, I might understand if you wont be able to get it done for us for 2 month, but for the time we can have you help us get settled and if you can take care of her for that time then that's fine too.
  
  We will be offering you $300 weekly for 15 hrs a week, I will be offering you more pay because I want you to do the job good with my kid will be needing your services for five hours from (10 am-3 pm or 4 pm-9 pm) for three days in a week or you can schedule a convenient time for you and let me know what time is okay for you to take care of her,  I would be needing the service of a caring babysitter / nanny with positive personality to take good care of her on a part time basis moreover I want to be certain you are fit for this position, you will need to prove yourself to be a reliable, honest, and hard working person, you will start working on same day or next day it’s okay if you prefer to be a live-out nanny as I can drop her at your home every time I do not mind or a live-in nanny if you can take care of her in our home. I told him that sound good and that we could meet up at my house to talk about it more in person. After that he started texting me on my cell phone telling me that he was going to send me the payment early so I can do grocery shopping for him and all that and I actually put it on my bank account I told him I didn't have anything account that I only didn't cash or check and he keeps bothering me to open a bank account as soon as possible cuz he needs me to open one. I didn't give him my information you just to be on the safe side cuz I knew there could be a chance that this was a scam.

• Harassing continues After I Refuse to do buisness with them

  I posted a babysitting ad via letgo. "Naida" (I don't believe the person is the real Naida) contacted me through the chat system and asked for my email address. I gave it to her and got her story shortly after. She sent pictures of herself and her driver's license. She stated that her husband had passed away in a car accident and that her daughter was diagnosed with muscular dystropy because of the accident. They stated a date to meet in my city after I sent a little bit about myself along with photo of my drivers licence. She did not mention money until after I sent my information. Naida stated that she wanted to send me a retaining fee for my services and I told her I was not comfortable with that. Later in the same day, she sent me and email requesting that I purchase a wheelchair from a private seller with an additional 2000 dollars that she would be mailing me. I responded and said that I would not be doing that as we have yet to meet. I continued to ask questions which are still unanswered and researched this person and found inconsistencies with the information given. I have reported this person through every means possible and they continue to badger me. I have plainly said that I refuse to deal with them through email and continue to receive emails from them. I intend to use the check as evidence of fraud since the scam is for me to cash the check through my bank and then hand over the money to someone that's going to come to my door. I have not lost any money as I caught onto the scam beforehand but now I am afraid of what is going to happen when they come to my home. I can honestly say that I have no peace of mind and I do not feel safe in my home.

• Misrepresentation of In Home Child Care

  I was approached and offered in home childcare for my children. Upon the interview I was informed that they are able to meet the unique needs of my children and our family. They also indicated that they are available 24/7 for full-time, part-time, drop-ins and date nights. It was agreed for us to do a drop in day to see how the kids would do. The day before I contacted the provider. There was no response. I contacted her mother who was advised that I was going to drop my kids off the next morning. When I arrived we were standing outside for 10 minutes. The provider had just gotten out of the shower and was picking up around the house. I saw debris along the walls. She apologized for it not being clean and that she don't usually have daycare kids. She initially said she didn't get my text message and then said that she didn't text me back because she was aware that I spoke with her mother. She said that her mother did not provide her the time I was coming. I specifically said to her if communciation is going to be an issue as this is a concern for me. She reported that this was no issue and that I can text her to reach her. I checked in by text during the late morning. There was no response. I messaged mother who then told me that they are not phone people and sure that the children are find. I told mother that this was not what her daughter said to me and that there would be open communication. Had she had confirmed what mother had told me that they do not have an open business line then I was not interested in their services. Mother indicated that her daughter did not do anything wrong and told me to pick up my daughter's asthma medication outside her door in a bag. When I got to the property it was not in a bag and placed on the floor with my daughter's confidential information.

  I saw an ad for a companion for a lady's sister that supposedly lived in a high scale city next to mine. Offered to pay $1,000 per week.
