Daycare scammers

What often happens with that scheme is they claim to need care for a short period of time and will pay you upfront. They send you a cheque but make it out for more than the agreed on amount and then ask for a refund. The cheque bounces but by this time you have already sent them a legitimate cheque for the excess - or what you thought was but it comes directly from your pocket. This was a very popular scheme going around the US awhile ago.

I got the same email and was just contemplating whether to even reply with a decline (I don't even work half of December and they were looking for care for the whole month of December) or whether to just ignore it. Then I decided to come on here to see if this was something going around and I am glad I am not the only one.

I had some people from Ireland or Scotland contact me last year too. Very annoying

These people contacted me last night as well.
