Three Campus Investments David Moore Nanny ad on Craigslist is a Check fraud scheme Austin, Texas
I answered an ad on craigslist for a family seeking a part time nanny. After sending in my resume I received an answer giving details about how the family was moving from Canada to my town. The person went by David Moore and shared a bunch of details about his children and the needs they had. I answered his questions and received notice that I was selected to be the nanny/ housekeeper.
However I also had questions and the person never responded to them. Then suddenly I received a check for $1400+! Then I got an email from a new address, with a different name- David Kirtsey. This person informed me I should cash the check, keep $400 for a week's pay, buy some cleaning supplies for the family, and then send the rest in western union money order to Georgia for some custom built furniture.
Since I had seen a report on here about a similar scheme I informed them I would do nothing until I was contacted directly. The next day I received text messages from a phone in Texas trying to convince me everything was legitimate. The person worked hard to convince me that it was all a genuine job despite the many inconsistencies and strange requests I pointed out. It ended with them asking when the "funds" would be available. I told them after I consulted my bank about the validity of the check. Although th family was supposedly moving to Ohio today, I have heard nothing. I am considering going to the news or the police about this circumstance.
