Okay this guy almost got me, i live in sc and posted on care.com and i thought i finally found a job. This is one email i got from him its sketchy :Thank you for the email and for keeping in touch,let me answer your questions by saying About the store manager part,the store is a little store here in Hawaii and that is where we always get stuffs for our kids in my company,they do have all what every kids want,but unfortunately they relocated and move out of Hawaii,they moved to somewhere in IN ,so now it is always hard for me to just walk into the store and get what i want,but i do have the store manager email address,so i have emailed him already before now and he said as soon as they receive the payment they are going to get everything done and ship them out,so that means i have all the list of what i want to get with me, that is why i want you to handle that part of items before our arrival ,so am going to send a copy to him and also send the copy of the list to you too,so that when they send the items to your address you can check and verify to know if everything is ok,i hope you can understand
that about the store manager,

As you can read from my previous email,i just had my ear operation done,so i can't make use of any phone call for now,that is what the Dr said,i will really prefer that to emailing up and down,but the Dr said not to try it,so i have to use email for now,and about the price,i think i can do 10 per hour,as long as my son is going to get the best care from you,paying the price is not going to be any problem for me,i lost him mother after she gave birth to him 18 months ago,so i have to get the best care for him, because my Son is all what i have now.

I am so glad I came a crossed this, I was contacted by this person too. He used the name Troy and he texted me telling me he found my info on care.com. I do have a profile there, but I could not find where i applied to this position. He then sent me an email saying the same thing he mentioned to you all above.

Thank you so much for posting this!

Oh and this time the cell number he used was this;
408-753-0967 (which is a CA area code, used by google).

I got the same story!! Verbatim!

I naively responded to this even though I thought it was weird that he never mentioned where he is from. I guess I will set my care.com profile so that they can only contact me there. Sigh. I was looking forward to meeting a baby Dan.

Hello xxxx,

Thanks for getting in touch with me, I need a baby sitter for my Son ( Dan ) He is 18 months old, he is a great kid and easy to get along with. he is a sweet loving boy who loves to swim, play, be outside, go to parks, go on walks and just have fun. he is very bright, engaging, and love to explore his surroundings. He is potty trained, free eater, well cultured, very well behaved and well mannered and he is not allergy to food or anything.

I will be dropping him off in the morning or you can just come to the house by 9:00am and will pick him up by 1:00 pm or in the evening by 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm because i can decide to shift my duty to afternoon,if you can't work the hours kindly let me know the best hours for you to work,but you can also work during the weekend while I get someone else to do this hours,and if you think you can do all the hours kindly let me know,maybe if you can have him by 9am till 7pm from Mon to Fri,and we can both have him over the weekend for sure,or you can take care of him only on the weekends,that is also good for me,

I WILL BE VERY HAPPY IF YOU CAN LET ME KNOW YOUR CHARGES PER HOUR, and I also want you to get back to me with your total estimate for a month, so as to have you booked and secured prior to my arrival, as I am rounding off plans and allotting money to issues that should be settled prior to my arrival.

This offer is for someone of well mannered attitudes, neatness and good sense of relationship, so if you are interested in this offer, please kindly let me know asap,
