I recently opened a preschool & family child care and posted my ad on craigslist which is where Dr. Bill Matt found me and many others. He pretends to be a doctor who has a medical conference in your area and he needs someone to watch his twin girls for the 4 weeks that he'll be at the conference. He even sends you a fake picture of his girls to make it more believable. Any ways what he does is overnight you a bad check for way more than what you charge, wants you to immediately cash it, then wire some of the money to another account for the "kids' toys" from a "toy store". So afterwards, the check bounces, you have to pay back the money to the bank along with other bank fees associated with it and you're out the money that you wired out. Luckily I caught on before I deposited the check, but I fear that others may not. Here's the emails he sent:
Hello,
My name is Dr Dill, I need a babysitter for my twins, i'm coming down to your area in the state for a Five Weeks Medical Programs and am coming down with my twins.
Please get back to me if you are interested in babysitting for my twins.I need someone that will take care of them as her own baby.
Please get back to be on time so we can arrange how possible this will be.
