INTERNET NANNY SCAMS

Have you ever received an email requesting your nanny service without even meeting you. Nanny scams are prevalent. eNannysource.com wrote how it works:

1) The Nanny scammer offers a job without a nanny interview.

2) The Nanny scammer will usually tell the nanny they are moving to their town.

3) The Nanny scammer will offer to send a money order (that is forged) or some other form of payment to insure the job. When the money arrives, it is much more than expected.

4) The Nanny scammer then provides instructions to forward the "excess" money to the third party, who in effect is them.

5) After you write a personal check against your own bank account for the difference,or you wire the money straight back from your account, you will find that the money they sent is fraudulent and the bank will require that you pay back all of the money you sent to the scammer.

Here are the signs of a scammer:

*If a family wants to hire you without meeting you or even a background check.
*The offer seems to good to be true.
*Anyone who tells you that they will send you money to purchase items for them.
*If someone says they are moving to your town, but currently out of the country.

Never accept any form of payment over the internet.
Never provide banking information.
Never try to cash a check from someone you don't know.
