    I received this email today. It looks like a scam.

    Greetings,




    My name is Mr Dadson, I'm 39 years old and a single father. I just got your contact on internet, while searching for a daycare for my son. I'll like to know if you have a space to register my 3 years hold son now or in September. My son's name is Andy, he was born on: August 15th 2012.




    I will like to always drop him at your homedaycare 9 AM to 4PM from Monday to Friday or Monday to Thursday. But if you are not available from Monday to Friday or Monday to Thursday, let me know your availability for part time, so we may consider that as well.




    Please get back to me on time if you have open for my son, let me know your fees per day/week and please tell me about your home daycare daily activities and meals as well, so i can get back to you as soon as possible.




    1)Do you have open for my son?

    2)Tell me Daily/Weekly fees?

    3)Daily routine and meals?




    I will be waiting for your quick response.




    Thanks

    I also got the same email. I asked the sender to give me his phone number so we could discuss the details. I imagine I won't be hearing from him anytime soon.lol
    It sounded very similar to the emails that previous provider's here on DBhad posted was a scam.

    I got the same email. word for word. Deleted it right away. It doesn't mention anything specific to my daycare at all...which usually tells me it's a mass email.

    I got the exact same email today word for word! I did reply and said I don't give anything out over email and if he wants he can come see the day home to get more information. Was it wrong to reply?
