  | Anonymous Sandy, UT, United States 2014-05-12 15:40:45 Nanny/Au pair Scam Other Classifieds Site |  Baby Adoption Scam Scammer Information Apologies, the ad has been removed from the source site so I\'m not able to copy it here. Upon inquiring with the ad poster, we received an email reply which is an obvious scam. The email address is suspicious, the scammer couldn\'t get the name of their own baby straight, and the wording is reminiscent of a Nigerian Prince scam. The email also contained several photos of the baby supposedly up for adoption. I searched Google for similar images and found a Flickr account where the photos were apparently pulled from. The account belongs to a professional photographer who has several pages of photos of the same child from infancy to about 2 years old. It appears to be the photographer\'s daughter, so the photos were obviously stolen from that account and used for this scam. We didn\'t email the sender back and don\'t plan to, as we don\'t want to get involved in a scam, but everything about this classified posting indicates it is a scam. |
