They send you a counterfeit check or money order, ask you to send some to a "store" via Moneygram or Western Union. Then 3 weeks later your bank discovers the check was fake, you are hit with bounced check fees, and you have no way of getting back YOUR own money you sent to this scammer. And you also run the risk of being investigated or even arrested for bank fraud for depositing a fake check in the first place. http://clscambuster.blogspot.com/2009/03/new-tutor-and-nanny-scam.html - scroll down just below the videos - it's the same thing you received http://www.yelp.com/topic/san-diego-nanny-scam-on-craigs-list http://www.4nannies.com/info/Nanny-Scams.cfm Classic Nigerian scam.

NO one, I repeat no one is going to hire a stranger to sit with their child without getting as much information about you as they can, from your resume, references, and follow up interviews. They work out all question and answers BEFORE they say that you are hired. And, if they do want to hire you, they will NOT send you an E-mail about it. This a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both! Did you actually read that ad? The language and grammar are atrocious, a HUGE tip-off that it is a scam. You really need to get yourself some employment etiquette and knowledge fast. The first being that job hunting online, is just asking for people to try to scam you. Looking on the Internet is risky at best, as it is much too easy to lie and cheat online. If you are serious about finding work, use an employment agency. Of course, it is a fake!

The want to know what the total price will be. They'll pre pay the money ( prob with a stolen cashiers check. Just watch) You put it in your bank. They cancel plans and want the money back. You send them good cash. You have bad check returned to you, and perhaps get into trouble with the law. Also, I dont like the idea that most people would run an ad like this, are young girls. The first thing they make clear is they will get you in their car. Thirdly, where in the world do you have a 6 week seminar in Battlefield ? There's nothing much there except houses and the battlefield. Unless they mean Battlefield Ave or Mall in Springfield... Craigslist jobs are loaded with scammers. Nanny scam.

You can tell their English isn't so good but have a last name of Johnson. Usage of the word 'item' and 'arrival' almost sounding like a legal document and then using the word 'kid'. Also usage of the word 'colleague' and 'arrival' I mean who talks like that. They will send you a fake money order and try to get you pay for something at they will overpay with the fake money order and want you to send them the difference in return. 1000% scam. Next time post it up here before you give out your address and we'll be able to shoot it down quicker. My bet is you're going to have a lot more scammers contacting you now. 100% scam just look at the wording. You can tell their English isn’t so good but have a last name of Johnson.

Here is the catch. "Andrey Johnson Also I will be contacting a store that will be shipping her item to your address with her toys, i just want to inform you about this and i will be forwarding money for her item plus your wages, so you can forward the money for the her item to the store Manager and she can send the items to you before we arrive and so you can put everything in place prior to our arrival 8:12 P.M." The payment to you will bounce in a couple of months. In the meantime you will forward money to "the store manager". You will never hear from her again after you make that payment. Note that this is my opinion. If the payment to "the store manager" is by any type of wire transfer rather than a check then do not trust her at all. Even with a check, once it is cashed it may be difficult to get the money back when her check bounces. Read this: http://www.4nannies.com/info/nanny-scams.cfm ₪ ʎəɿʞɹɐq ₪ It is a well known scam.
