Answered a job posting for caring for a special needs child. Sent a check for to be deposited.  Never a phone caipirinha just e- mails.  Told ms foster check will not be deposited into my account. Check given to family member that works for sled.  Craigslist in Columbia sc BEWARE of POSTS!!!!!! SCAMS SCAMS SCAMS !!!!! Who gives checks to strangers!!!!!  Lauren Foster moving from Florida with children !!!!!!

Mr. Foster or what ever his name is he has been contacting me through email. For the past week and today he text me from this number tell mey check had been send Via UPS. I gave my address and phone number  I wonder can he try to use my info some type of way or is this jis some type of money scam

That's only part 1 of the scam. Part 2 is you will be asked to pay an advance fee, for something. You'll get the (bouncy) check, you'll then be asked to forward (Western Union) money to "someone", for "something". A lot of times it's a package at the airport, FedEx envelope, etc. The scam (of course) is you'll deposit the check, & it'll bounce in about a week. Just so you know, near 100% on email, text, online, job offers are fake. Head over to fraudwatchers.org for a real eyeful of how bad it is.

I am so glad I googled this number before I went any further with applying for this Housekeeping position. Like the saying goes if it's too good to be true, it probably is!!

I received an email back from someone named "Mcwilliams Worthington" (the name itself should have threw up all sorts of red flags) offering me a housekeeping position that not only pays $350 a week, but also he only wanted to me to work no more than 10 hours a week (that's basically $35 an hour). This person also claims that their employer is making him and his family relocate from Florida to Rochester, NY but of course never mentioned what company he was employed by.

Also this person not only offered to mail me a check upfront without even meeting me in person they also offered to have their Realtor mail me a set of keys to the apartment that they would be moving into in a few weeks so that I could do the grocery shopping before their plane landed. But get this, I try calling them back on this "fake number" 754-444-2036 and I get a recording that says "the Google subscriber you have called is not available, please leave a message after the tone."

Which makes absolutely no sense for someone to trust you enough to prepay you for work you haven't even done and offer to give you a set of keys to their home but they cannot disclose what their real contact number is? Unbelievable...

was it an ad for housekeeping in syracuse ny?

Yep, I thought he was making a good offer but looked up the number and saw this. Also, the post was flagged for removal.

Please be aware this is scammer on craigslist. Be aware. Report him to Police.

This is a craigslist identity theft scammer!!!!!!!! BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
