This man is fake! He contacted me via text message because of my care.com profile and he gave me a check for $5,000 to take care of his "mother" now my account has a huge hold on it because the check was fraudulent! If anyone find out who he is please contact me at graceelove8@gmail.com

I got scammed with this person, it seems that he is real first but it took me 2 days to realize that he is a scammer, trying to find a caregiver for his sick mother and he wants u to ship some money to this address beware, I don't want to show the whole address but I hope this will help:
Rockaway Parkway Brooklyn NY 11212

Just contacted us via email. Same as above take care of his sick mother. offered more than what we wanted for an hourly rate. Also uses numbers 508-216-0757 (703) 951-7817 424-835-0592. Patrick puffer, patrick taylor.

I got his checks in the mail today and decided not to put them in my account.  A friend and I checked out his email and that's when I came across this site. Thanks guys for the heads up.

Wow he did the same thing to me! He was so adamant on me giving him my address, I thought something was up! I didn't give him any of my info, thank you for posting! He texted me from the number 7029075027 saying he found me on care.com. I hope nobody else falls for this! It's terrible!!!! I'm glad care.com was made aware.

He contacted me too & I also think the police should be involved. This has been going on since at least January! Why hasn't he been caught yet?!

Now Im lost. I thought patrick Ramos is the one  who posted and made us aware about this "creepy"  thing.

im in Chicago, I just rcvd a txt msg from this # (703) 951-7817 saying  "Hello, I found ur profile on care.com. We need the services of a caregiver, Pls email me at p.puffer@live.com for more details. Have a nice day"  Is it not if he is real he will email us via care.com? we need to report this to care.com

He has contacted me as well.  What town does he live in? I would like to get the police involved.

received this text from this # today
Good Morning, I found ur profile on care.com. I'm in need of a care for my mom. Pls email me at p.puffer@live.com for more details. Thank U
I had received one about a month ago from another # and email but the name was Patrick Ramos

Messaged*

He just messages me today and said the same thing! Totally creepy..

Hello! Pls. Help me to of what your plans in suing or pressing charges to this man. He did the same to me. He contacted me last week and ask me the same caregiving position to his mom.

I have been contacted by him today after I posted on Care.Com and about a month ago. People that are really looking to hire you off care.com do not have your email. Make sure that you talk directly through care.com and then meet them in a public place. What a creep...Care.com knows about this..

I just received this text message from him:  "Hello, I came across  your profile on care.com & I'm interested in ur services for my mom. Kindly email me at frankbrooks2013@outlok.com for more details". Of course I googled the number. Thanks for your post!

thank you for your post i just received an email from this man attempting to hire me..you saved me a lot of aggravation.

I posted before about this man. He also uses another number. He found my profile on www.care.com and hired me to care for his sick mother. He took me for around 6900.00 but I am fighting for his true identification so I can press charges.
If this number contacts you stay away. He gives you corporate checks to deposit which will clear your bank and then a few days later the funfs are returned.
