I was contacted by this Dr Mike in regards to my craiglist ad looking for people in need of childcare. I will copy the email as he wrote them:
1st Email:
Hello, My name is Dr Mike, 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.
Thanks Dr Mike |
My 1st email to him:
This could be possible. I would like a little more information. How old are your twins, where are you coming from, where will you be staying, what would you be willing to pay, and what dates will you be needing this care... If you want to know anything about me, just ask... Thanks, Angel
2nd email from him:
Hello,
Thanks for your reply.I am a father of a twin baby girl, They are two years old. So that means you are caring for 2 girls (Kate and Pat) from 8:30am to 4:00pm Monday to Friday.Transportation would be in my vehicle as I want them totally in your care at the above time frame,hence include a reasonable cost of feeding for same time frame...What are your likes and dislikes in KIDS? the time frame is within June 14th.Get back so I can have you booked as I am rounding off plans and allotting money to issues that should be settled prior to my arrival.I have attached the KIDS picture for your viewing.What's the total price estimate for the time frame ?Get back to me ASAP.
Thanks
Dr Mike
My 2nd email to him:
Hello again,
Couple more questions: Where are you coming from, where will you be staying, and From what date to what date will you be needing me. For your question about my likes and dislikes. I am really a very open minded person. I love children off all ages. I would care for your children as I do my own. I have put up a total cost of $1500 for the full 5 weeks and food is included. I have a contract that I am filling out and will email it to you when I am finished. I would like for you to print it out and send it to me thru regular mail with your signature and the blanks filled out. My address will be on the contract. If you have any other questions please let me know. By the way, what is your full name?
Thanks,
Angel

*** As you can see his signature was different from previous emails I was suspisious then.****
My 3rd email to him:
Sorry, This is kinda sounding like you don't want to give me more information about yourself and where you are coming from. I don't think this will be able to happen. Thought your name was Dr Mike and now u sign Dr Bill. I would have to have proof of identity, and that this isn't just a scam. Sorry for the inconvience.
*** He continued to try again*****
Hi Angel,
Thanks for the prompt response. I told you that i'm a God fearing man. I have informed my colleague that i have gotten someone who will be caring for my Kids and am really looking up to the care you will give to my KIDS. I will have the deposit and the payment for your service for babysitting my Kids made to you prior to my arrival, Also I have contacted a store that will be shipping the KIDS item and packages to your address with the KIDS toys,i just want to inform you about this and i will be forwarding money for the KIDS item plus your a month wages,so you can forward the money for the KIDS item to the Store Manager and she can send the items to you before i arrive with the KIDS and so you can put everything in place prior to our arrival.
Here is my information:
