KerBear----call the number 1-888-495-8501
Canadian Anti-fraud
I was told this scam is based out of Nigeria
The fraud department wants me to fax the cheque the scammers are sending me and method of delivery. apparently these jerks steal people's UPS accounts as well.
I got the same thing and I am in the abbeydale area of Calgary ab
I got an email from the same person and have a money order received from them, they asked me to return the difference without asking for any purchases....what to do?
Reported this scam to Fraud Canada, ripped the cheque and am glad I followed my gut
this guy went as far as sending me a cheque, fake im sure for $2880. then said it was a mistake amount !!!!!!
Ok everyone so i got talked into this scam :(
but was lucky that i didn't lose any money over this. But ya this person has detailed information of my childcare center. I am taking this to media. I have contacted the RCMP, and reported crime control. Also the province, going to email the beat 94.5, 103.5 qm fm, and Facebook. This person send me a picture of a family of four. I have it all saved and will be exposed everywhere soon.
this is sad that technology is supposed to help us and not discourage with all this stupidity.
The email you received is most probably a scam. We advise you not to do any business with the authors, nor save a space for their child. You will most likely never hear from them again.
Unfortunately, we already tried to notify the authorities about similar emails in the past. We were told that, since the scammers were outside of the country, it would be hard to prosecute them...
It is always a challenge to balance information accessibility and information protection. We already have a big red warning inside all the accounts of our member's, in the listings management page.
As always on the Internet, we advise you to be cautious, especially when dealing with persons from outside the country and/or persons asking you to cash checks, money orders or similar items. Please stay safe. The Internet is a powerful tool to find new clients but you still have to use common sense and ONLY deal with persons from your neighborhood/city!
Even I got a picture of a family of four..
Just got the same thing in Calgary! Sent me a cheque for $2880; a ridiculous sum considering my small deposit! Was curious if it would clear or not, now I won't hold my breath. Thx!
Whatever you do - do not return any of the money to them. That is how the scam works. They give you too much and ask the difference be returned and by that time cheque bounces and you have sent your money to them. Let them know they can have the difference when they arrive for care. Even if the cheque appears to cash now pretend it is not in your account as it will most likely be removed nsf or cancelled by sender soon enough. This scam has been around for many years.Quote:

I got all the same emails everyone has previously posted, word for word, and fell for it. But the difference is that they sent me a cheque for less than I asked.
Yep, they're still doing it - guy is going by the name Luke Moory, wife Becky and son Timothy
I know the posts are very old now,but found this post and had the same experience as you and thus had to reply:)
Greetings,
My name is Mr Moory and my wife name is Becky. I got your contact information through my search for daycare on internet for our Son. We are relocating to your area and we need a daycare to register our little boys as soon as possible ahead of our arrival in your area. Name of our son is: (Timothy 3 years 1 month old ).
I will like to know if you have open space to register our son because we want to register our son with you now before our arrival, so we can focus on setting up our business without any waste of time on searching for daycare once we get over there.
We will like to always drop our son at your daycare Monday to Friday every morning by 10 AM to 3 PM or 4 PM. Also i will like to know how much money do you charges per day?
Please get back to me on time if you have open for our son and let me know your fees as well, so we can continue on his registration process with you.
I will be waiting for your quick response.
Thanks
I got it too....the scams are pretty easy to spot (the Cantin Moore one). Actually, I just got it recently...a couple weeks ago while I was still on vacation, so it's been circulating for a while. If someone wants to sign up without even seeing you or your set up, forget it. I know there's the odd, genuine international inquiry. For the most part though, I think it's typically a scam.
Thankfully I came across this thread. This scam is still making it's rounds. I almost fell for it, too. He is now signing his name as Pinet Nider, his wife is Rebeca and his sons are Brochu and Wayne.
I got something very similar! But this was a "Mexican" family!! scammers!
Yep this is what I had happened to me! His name was Lanpi Niber, and the sons name was Brochu and Wayne. This is ridiculous!
