"Mexican family" scam

[farnaz64]

I received an email from Smith, Dawkins <smithdawkins@iclo ud .com> a few weeks a go that she is in Mexico and didn't fund daycare for her 3 years old boy. after a week she send me a photo from family. I told her when come back Canada we can meet together and see her son. after two weeks she told my son is sick and have to stay in Mexico till 28 OCT so I send you a money order by my associate (Sally E. Oric) and I was surprise how can she trust me. It was red flag for me and search in internet and see this forum. I know this email is scam and didn't receive this money order till now. Do you think it's better that I will write the envelop of mail (if I received it) word of return and do not accepted this mail? thanks for your help.

Hi there, so sad my very first thread is to help warn other people However, the fact that there are so many of us willing to warn and help out shows there are still a lot of good people out there. SO I am just starting up my daycare and got an email from a Douglas Long, stating he was on vacation in Mexico and needs daycare for his 2 year old Jamy. I thought he was odd at first, but thought I should at least reply. By the second email he was saying he was comfortable to leave his son in my care (without meeting me or even seeing my home!). Massive red flag. I questioned it and he has just sent emails trying to get my information to send me a deposit ever since. Total scam. Please beware.
