Hi,

Happy to hear that the deposit is not important at this time, but i want you to please see it from my own view as well that: I will not be coming with my wife and kids, it's very important to put everything in proper order for them ahead of their arrival over there. Also she won't be able to take more than $2,000 in cash with her to Canada which will be what they will be surviving on till i arrive because we presently have no Canadian account and my staying back like i said is to put thing in order according to our financial importance. I have to terminate our credit lines and all order attachment with our banks here in order to have our funds transferred to our Canadian account, this is part of the reason why am staying back.

And i'm also in fear that things can change when you are making arrangement like this without using deposit to make it a concrete arrangement that the space will not be given to another family, I must tell you that i contacted about 4 different daycare before i got your contact for my children, but they are all full and telling me they won't have anymore space until 6 months time or 9 months time, I won't want anything to change at all, because i believe this is a very hard time to get hold of any daycare or home daycare. that's why the deposit is more than important at this time because it's like a luck to have you.

This all process is to have everything ready for my family, so my absent won't affect them financially and generally till i arrive. Please send me your name and address to mail the deposit to you on time, so i can be sure that everything will be intact as conclude.

You will receive deposit within 2 to 3 business day. Waiting to hear from you soon.

Thanks Jenny Boa for copying the scammers reply, they want to send their cheque so when it goes into our bank a/c they can have our bank details and somehow get at our money, or how does it work?

Looks like this scam is still on the move!! Just got this email the other day. I wish I had read this form. Should have listened to my husband he totally thought this was very fishy. I'm in Ottawa so it is still making its rounds. To bad nothing can be done about this.

I have also been receiving communications from this person. The last reply I sent was that if they contacted me again I would involve police. I received another email this morning

"Greetings,

So sorry for not getting back to you on time, we've been so busy with our relocation. I was contacted by my associate (Mariya Anderson) that the deposit payment has been mailed to you since 2 days ago, you should receive it before ending of this week or early next week.

Please confirm you receive this message and you're waiting for the payment, also let me know the moment you receive the payment, to be sure things are going as planned.

Important: I'm very sorry to inform you that we went to buy our flight tickets yesterday for my wife and kids but the earliest seats we got was January 6th. i know you won't be happy hearing this but we're as sad as you can be for not been able to make it over there on time as planned, but the most important is we got the tickets yesterday and 6th of January is intact.

Thanks "

[jennyrae57]

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.
