My mom applied to a job on sittercity.com, I mean how would she know that it's not legit. Point is she got a text from this number 208 209. 7439 asking her to email yes to rachelsmithmom@gmail.com to receive further details regarding the job. Of course my mom did and this is what she sent back.

"Hello
Thank you for your response i`m interesting in hiring you for the position. My child name is Andy 6yrs old.I recently lost my husband in a car accident on our way from a long weekend holiday. I am hard of hearing. I attended the Phoenix  school for the deaf where i achieved my highest qualification. I own a business and i`m a strong Catholic member.

I need a responsible nanny for my child who is currently suffering a leg fracture sustained from the accident that took my husband away. He is placed on a wheelchair as recommended by the specialist. Although he can walk and carry out some necessary cores by himself. However; the Surgeon advised he uses the wheelchair as a precautionary measure and also to prevent injury set backs. The job duties include:
Light House Keeping, watch and care for child to ensure safety, initiate games, arts & crafts projects, cleaning the child's room, washing the child's clothes

I will like you to tell me about yourself. I will also like for you to provide me with your information . I am assuming you already have the job . We re moving to Your area so as to start a new life. Staying here reminds me of my late husband so i thought about moving. We can meet on April 22nd  but the babysitting job begins on Saturday 23rd April. Just let me know where you would like to meet and the time.

The job schedule is 9am to 3pm, Saturday and Sundays . Compensation per hour is $20 and i`m wondering if you could assist with receiving my child's(Andy) wheelchair in your house prior to our arrival. He is currently renting one from the clinic here and i found someone in your area  with the specified wheelchair he needs at a great deal but she has only one left in stock. If you re willing to help, I`m going to find out the delivery procedure and let you know. More importantly, I have seen cases where people book a nanny and they end up not showing up on the start date,i am hard of hearing and its going to be tough for me finding someone just right away. I understand you might be a different person but i do like to book you in for the first week by sending you a deposit payment of $240 which will be deducted from your first pay. This will ensure you are booked for the position to avoid disappointment.

I will like to know if you are available permanently or temporarily. However, I'll like you to respond to the below question :

1. How would you describe yourself?

2. Do you have a CPR or willing to take the classes going forward?

Please provide your name, street address including apartment number, city and zipcode, your primary cell phone number so i can text you back with further details . I await your quick response.
Thank you!
Rachel"

My mom told me about it and I mean I had to read this email 3 times, this is absurd that someone will try to have someone else sympathize with them with a story like this. After all my mom had already replied and when she wrote back she said she would send my mom her deposit plus 2,400 for the wheelchair. Now that is just ridiculous, I'm so glad my mom talked to me about this otherwise she would ripped my mother off her money. I searched up the email and this website came up. How can people be so grimey

:( I got the same text and emails. This is very disheartening. I thought I had a solid gig lined up.
The latest email I got from cindybalmforthmom@gmail.com was:

Hello Melissa
I received your message. Thank you for your concern. We can meet at
the McDonald at 6.00PM.I hope this is a convenient time for you. I
will appreciate you working for us as one family not just a caregiver.
That increases the love and build a great partnership between us. I
was able to finalized with the wheelchair seller. The wheel chair cost
$2400. so i will be mailing your first week payment ($15/hr x 5hrs/day
= $75 x 5days a week= $375) of $375 plus an additional deposit of
$2400 to make a total of $2,775 on the check as soon as i hear back
from you.The deposit goes to the wheelchair seller on delivery. I will
send your address to the seller for the chair delivery so you can pay
on delivery as soon as the check clears.

Kindly let me know if this is clear so i can proceed to mailing the
check immediately

Best Regards
Cindy

I got a text message from this number. Saying i am looking for a baby sitter for my child. Please send your resume to some email address at gmail and ill get back to you with the details. THis is really weird to me since I live in CA and this number says its from Iowa and I never applied to any babysitting jobs.i didnt write them back because i heard of scams where they can charge up your phone bill somehow when you answer or respond.
