Job Scam
Other Job Site |  +2 caregiver for his mother \"James\" contacted me regarding a post on Care.com and was needing someone to care for his sick mother. She was said to have cerebral palsy. Because of his schedule, he would need me to pick up some groceries, towels, and sheets for his mother the day before her arrival. In a following email, he said that he thought it best to send a check to me to serve as a deposit for securing my position and for the supplies he would be needing. He asked if I was familiar with selling things on Ebay because I would need to help his mother sell some things. He wanted my full name, address, state, zip, and phone number. I thought it odd that he wanted my phone number, because that is how he initially contacted me...via text message. When he gave me the option of providing him with my bank account number and bank so that his financial advisor could deposit my money, I got leary. He said that time did not permit him to contact me by phone. When I insisted that he give me the address of him mom\'s(Paola)home, I did not receive an email directly back like I had been getting up until that point. Please be cautious about giving out your information! NEVER be too trusting. |

One in a caregiver for his mother since he was away and could not take care of her ask me to get an estimate on groceries and towels and stuff like that when he he said that he had sent a cashier's check the address he sent it to there is no address for me at my hometown then he said that FedEx couldn't give him any information on where they had dropped off the package he said that when I got the check for me to deposit it into my bank account through an ATM and I had to wait 24 hours and then I could get it to the check then I started thinking like that was kind of odd that I had to wait 24 hours to get the money to get the items that he wanted for his mother so I Googled his email and the number and this is what popped up scam

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
