I have gotten the same messages from "Desired Jones." She had a "friend" contact me saying she had found my information on Care.com (a place I DO have an account with), so at first I thought it was an awesome hit! But after a few emails and texts I started getting weirded out by everything-- whenever I asked her what her address here in the States would be, she never answered. She also skirted around other such questions as well. I knew what was going on when she asked me to pay her "agent" out of my own pocket for her first month of rent. Oh yea, like any sane person would do that! She had a "friend" of hers contact me first to say that she had the job. This "friend" was named Jesica Hourds. 646-439-3216 was the number of the "friend" but it could be the same person who is "Desiree." Watch out people!!

I am currently dealing with this "Desiree Jones" for the same exact nanny scam. Unfortunately I didn't find this page until after I had given her my name and address, and was only able to find it by tracking this number because she texted me to let me know that the check would be delivered. This person is obviously a scam, and it upsets me that he/she would think I (or anyone) would be dumb enough to fall for it. Sounds like she was attempting to scam a few people at the same time too.

SAME NANNY SCAM. SENT MONEY TO MY DAUGHTER WHO DEPOSITED IT $4000.00, BUT CALLED ME BEFORE SENDING ANY MONEY. I CALLED THE NUMBER-DAVID ANSWERED BUT HUNG UP. THESE F-ERS NEED A BEATING, WHICH IS WHY THEY NEVER MEET IN PERSON AS I REQUESTED. ALWAYS CHECK THIS STUFF ONLINE. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE...IT IS.

I had the exact name Desiree, she said she would be moving at the end of June. I decided it was too good to be true and decided to look her name up to see you have already posted it! Thanks for saying something about it

Well she's back at it. I was also scammed by this person, in my case she called herself Desiree Jones.  This woman told me that she was moving from Australia with her family and needed a nanny for her young son.  She offered to pay in advance for my first week of work and said that she would also be sending extra money for me to buy groceries and other household items.  After the check was sent she said that she now had an estate manager who would instead be purchasing those items and would need the money from the check that I sent.  All wording that she used was the same as previously posted emails.  If I had followed through with what she wanted, I would have deposited her fraudulent check and then sent her the remaining amount (my actual money). In all, WATCH OUT!

Kemi is a fool

this is all a fraud...luckily I had already heard of this type of scams and was able to prevent my sister before doing anything. She also got a check with a crazy amount (3,250).Dont fall for it its just another way to rip you off.

Why?

YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS

Hahaha that's true!!! Sad but true!!!!

Yeah super scammer. Like anybody gives away free money these days.  Oh wait I mean besides our Govt.

I received the same email from Katy Bennet and had to laugh but decided to play along in hopes of catching them! First clue was the very proper way "she" spoke in her email... Haha no one speaks that proper... So I laughed and continued to play along. She gave me her address and it was in Far Away Rock, NY!!! Haha oh and yes if y'all are concerned she's still deaf and her daughters still trying to get married! I also received a bible scripture from her tonight on how she's gonna trust me with the extra money that was sent by mistake... Lol so I was so super nice back and told her no problem ill keep it safe and send it where it needs to go!! I'm gonna give all this information to the Attorney general and law enforcement in hopes we can catch them... It's really sad that people do this and it really makes it hard to trust people! But I know I'm a good person and that there are good ones out there! But I have to play along and if they can't catch them at least they'll get there hopes up that I'm really gonna send them money and then nothing!!

Hello can you get back to me about this i received the same information as you all may have. please contact me back thanks samantha

How did you find out this number was wrong?

Hello i saw this post thank you for allowing me to see it what can one do with this check and information? let me know so i don't end up with trouble thanks Mary

also got email wanting products i sell. thought i would look up number before waisting my time. glad i did!!!!

I have received the same information. I am a BeautiControl consultant and I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. However, when I received a check for more than the amount charged, I was suspicious. Then I began receiving harsh emails, texts, and phone calls. I have not idea how they got my phone number, because only my email is listed on the BeautiControl page. I called the bank to complete a check validation and they told me that this is definitely a fraud. Then I looked up the number and found this site. Glad I didn't forward any of that money!

I received a email from someone named Katy Bennet, with the same information from mj's post. Beware,this is a scam. They offered to sen me a check, to pay for a Gold Canyon Cande order. I tracked the number and found this site.,

I am also a consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics in Canada and I have just received the same email from this number -  and the same name Kerry Blakes - who says she wants unique items from me. thanks for these warnings..  Be careful!
