"Mexican family" scam

[Rachael]

Glad I read this thread over the weekend as I had this e-mail in my in-box when I woke up today. I don't have any vacancies at the moment anyway so would have likely dismissed it but thanks to you guys, I recognized the names immediately..

Greetings,

My name is Mr Mikel and my wife name is Angel Mikel. I just got your contact while searching for a home daycare in your area. We are relocating to your area and we need a daycare to register our little boy. His name is Jepta and he's 3 years old

I will like to know if you have open space for our son now or in September because we want to register our son with you now before our arrival, so we can focus on settling down once we arrive without any waste of time on searching for daycare when we get over there.

We will like to always drop our child at your daycare Monday to Thursday 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"

Well, I published mine in a private FB group for local day care providers. One of those then tewwted it to our regional police and in turn, Global News picked it up. As I walked in the door from a walk with my day care children, the phone was ringing.
They wanted to come out and do a TV interview but 1) I was working! and 2) I keep my surname off any on-line interaction because I have other people's children in my house. They did ask my some questions on-line and as a result, ran this story so at least other providers locally will now be aware.

It's around the 5 mins mark...http://globalnews.ca/video/1530599/h...-news-aug-27-2

I got an email from jankeandrew2@icloud. He apologized for his late response because he didn't have internet. He claimed he was on vacation and wanted his son Reek, to start as soon as possible. He said he would get back to me with all the necessary information and a picture of the family. After reading all the messages, I don't think I will respond to this email. Very frustrating...I just want to fill a spot.
