I just got the same exact scam from this person. $400 a week to be a caregiver for his 65 year old sister. First week upfront

I placed an ad looking for a job on criagslist - dental assisting job; this person replied to me as a caregiver job and said I cannot call because she is deaf, but I will be caring for her 68 year old sister.  $400.00 a week with the first week paid up front.

scam!

Below is the email i received when i put an ad for dance classes on craigslist. When i clicked on reply the email address changed to: sholabde@gmail.com
