Job Scam
1 |  +1 Untitled Job Scam on 1, ref:23972 She had text me saying she found me on care.com, after 5 days of texting and emailing detailing of job/wage duties. She said she was moving to "my area" with her mother that needed care. Hired me and wanted to put a deposit to hold me because she had once been left without help because the nurse found another job. Then came the email that said she had ordered her mother hearing aids and was having them delivered to me COD and the deposit check was for $2950. The hearing aids costs $2400 and the $550 was my first weeks pay. Confirmed with local police that it was a scam. |

same exact scenario as the previous person. I went thru about 3 days of emails and realized what was happening. Also from Care.com. I saved all the emails plus the texts on my phone. Where can I send them to put a stop to this?
Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
