    SCAM alert

    Just a head's up about a new scam. Quite different from the usual out country and need care one.

    Came from claudigrt@icloud.com. It is sent to the same address in the subject line (not to me). Looking for care for 3yr old, asks for postal code and that is about it, mentions full or part time.

    I responded cautiously (no postal code given) and the response I got back was equally generic. This time though they provided lists of shifts needed) 7 days a week during day and 7 days a week during evenings and asked which ones I was interested in that they will pay $18.50 an hour.

    It is a scam, it does not in any way respond to me...just to general vagueness that one can easily assumes is meant for them.

    Quite certain if I continued it would turn into the I'll send you a big cheque to hold the spot.

    I know...I caught that after responding. The original email seemed rather normal this time around so I didn't double check that first!

    It's about time they got smart enough to change their email story line. The old emails were getting rather boring lol.
