Nanny Scam
SSF: SCAMMERS TARGETING NANNIES ADVERTISING ON CRAIGSLIST:
Scammers are now trying a new angle on the old fake check scam. This time they’re targeting people who are looking for work as nannies. The scammers send the nannies the fake checks saying they’re paying them in advance. Of course, the checks are over the amount requested asking the nannies to wire the difference back.
As we should all know by now that’s one of the oldest scams on the internet. Luckily none of the nannies that the article talked to fell for the scam.
