This just happened to me. The person posed as a mother of a 3 year old boy and needed daycare but was in Mexico for the next two weeks. I had a few adds up and she sent the same email to all the adds, which was the first red flag. We corresponded a few times and she sent me a picture of her and her son. I kept reminding her that daycare doesn't open until January but she wouldn't commit to a date and kept saying that she would agree to whatever date I gave her...second red flag. Then, she asked for my address twice to mail a deposit , which was way more than I had asked and when I refused to take a deposit by mail (since she was supposed to be returning to Canada next week), she gave me an ultimatum that if I didn't take her deposit, she would go somewhere else...last red flag. So I sent her a kind message asking her to look elsewhere. Her email address was edisdawkins@icloud.c om. Just in case you come across it. I had a bad feeling about it and then found this thread, so I am very happy I followed my gut feeling!
