VERY fishy inquiry into my daycare... Thoughts?

I just got the EXACT same email. Odd- not just you. I think you're in my area? Durham region? I wonder how many others got the same.

Yep, it's a scam. I had one similar a few years back and researched this scam online. They'll act like they want to commit right away, though they're not here. Will ask you to purchase specific things for the kids, for which of course they'll send you a cheque. They'll send a cheque for too much, you put it in your account, buy the stuff, send cheque for the remainder, then their cheque bounces. That's my understanding of it. Mine wasn't exactly the same, but similar. Ages and names of children changed from email to email. Just disregard.
