VERY fishy inquiry into my daycare... Thoughts?

[5 Little Monkeys]

I haven't got this email but any scam email I do get, I reply back with "get a real job and stop trying to scam people. If you contact me again, I will be alerting the police".....it works every time!! lol

I also got this email, I suspected it was a scam as information is very vague, so it sounds like this forum is where our information came from fro the scammers, how can they get all our information and mass email like that, is there nothing that can be done about this?

I got this same email this morning and I am in London, ON. 5-6 other providers that are on a FB London network also received it.

Do you think I should change my email and daycarebear passwords?

No, our email accounts have not been compromised. The scam artists merely fished our email addresses from our daycarebear listings which contain them. They do not have control of your email or daycarebear account. The scam is they try to convince you to accept their child sight unseen for a future date, as they are "out of the country" and will be visiting soon. Then they want to send you payment ahead of time, but in a way that turns out to be phony, plus they send you too much, and they want you to send them the difference, which put YOU out the money when it eventually bounces. Or something similar. It's a scam that's been around for awhile.
