This is so scary that this is happening. We all need to be very careful and cautious!

Hi I am a new day home provider just starting out so you can imagine that I was so excited to get my first child. Little did I know I would be in for a big let down. The scam is now under the name of Lax Moory and his associate is Mariya Anderson. He is claiming to have 2 boys and even sent me a very adorable picture. When I received the cheque it was for 1980.00$ so naturally I was confused because that was not how much the deposit was. When I asked him about it he said " oh there was a mistake and to just deposit what I needed and send him the remainder so I was worried. So I talked to my sister in law and we checked out scams and found out about it, so I'm going to be contacting the police and the news and go from there. Just be careful of people out there who want to take advantage of the people who do one of the hardest and most precious job.

I had the same thing. Canadian family working in mexico looking to come back and need daycare for their 3 year old boy. We went through all the questions and they even sent me a picture. But when they sent the deposit it was $1980.00 my deposit is only $100. So I sent them an email saying I no longer had a spot for them and that I would be destroying the check. I haven't heard from them since.

We had the same situation at our center. A Jim Niber wanted to register his 3 year old son at our center for when he returned with his family after working in Mexico for 5 years. He sent us a picture of his "family" and asked questions about our center. He sent us a CIBC money order for $2790.00 and said that his "associate" overpaid us. He wanted us to send money orders back to Mexico for his "properties shipment". I contacted the bank and they said the money order is a fraud and to take it to the police.

I have been emailing with him for the past month back and fourth i should have checked here first. I just received a bank draft from him too so I guess i should take it to the police then. I'm in Langley same instructions same amount on bank draft. When I received it and it was to much I felt suspicious so decided to Google him wish I had sooner.

I just got an e-mail today from Jimy Beebs - anyone else get it? Seems like a scam to me.

Greetings,

My name is Mr Beebs. We are relocating to your area and we need a daycare to register our little boy as soon as possible ahead of our arrival in your area. His name is James and he's almost 3 years 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 child 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 daily fees as well, so we can continue on their registration process with you.

I will be waiting for your quick response.

Thanks

I recently got an email from BrownMikel@icloud.co m. Luckily my husband knew it was a scam right from the get go as no one in their right mind would be comfortable enough to leave their child with someone they never met. However I did entertain the fact that he could scam me lol

I received this email :

And after a few emails asking his questions he stated that he was more than comfortable leaving his child with me. I also received a money order in the mail for $2750.00 that was clearly fake.

I wanted to make all the other daycare providers aware of this but then found this thread which shows that you are

I wanted to take to the Police but was told that there is not much they can do about this as it would be hard for them to track the IP address, so the next best thing was to warn you ladies
