My mom applied to a job on sittercity.com, I mean how would she know that it's not legit. Point is she got a text from this number 208 209. 7439 asking her to email yes to [email protected] to receive further details regarding the job. Of course my mom did and this is what she sent back.

"Hello
Thank you for your response i`m interesting in hiring you for the position. My child name is Andy 6yrs old.I recently lost my husband in a car accident on our way from a long weekend holiday. I am hard of hearing. I attended the Phoenix  school for the deaf where i achieved my highest qualification. I own a business and i`m a strong Catholic member.

I need a responsible nanny for my child who is currently suffering a leg fracture sustained from the accident that took my husband away. He is placed on a wheelchair as recommended by the specialist. Although he can walk and carry out some necessary cores by himself. However; the Surgeon advised he uses the wheelchair as a precautionary measure and also to prevent injury set backs. The job duties include:
Light House Keeping, watch and care for child to ensure safety, initiate games, arts & crafts projects, cleaning the child's room, washing the child's clothes

I will like you to tell me about yourself. I will also like for you to provide me with your information . I am assuming you already have the job . We re moving to Your area so as to start a new life. Staying here reminds me of my late husband so i thought about moving. We can meet on April 22nd  but the babysitting job begins on Saturday 23rd April. Just let me know where you would like to meet and the time.

The job schedule is 9am to 3pm, Saturday and Sundays . Compensation per hour is $20 and i`m wondering if you could assist with receiving my child's(Andy) wheelchair in your house prior to our arrival. He is currently renting one from the clinic here and i found someone in your area  with the specified wheelchair he needs at a great deal but she has only one left in stock. If you re willing to help, I`m going to find out the delivery procedure and let you know. More importantly, I have seen cases where people book a nanny and they end up not showing up on the start date,i am hard of hearing and its going to be tough for me finding someone just right away. I understand you might be a different person but i do like to book you in for the first week by sending you a deposit payment of $240 which will be deducted from your first pay. This will ensure you are booked for the position to avoid disappointment.

I will like to know if you are available permanently or temporarily. However, I'll like you to respond to the below question :

1. How would you describe yourself?

2. Do you have a CPR or willing to take the classes going forward?

Please provide your name, street address including apartment number, city and zipcode, your primary cell phone number so i can text you back with further details . I await your quick response.
Thank you!
Rachel"

My mom told me about it and I mean I had to read this email 3 times, this is absurd that someone will try to have someone else sympathize with them with a story like this. After all my mom had already replied and when she wrote back she said she would send my mom her deposit plus 2,400 for the wheelchair. Now that is just ridiculous, I'm so glad my mom talked to me about this otherwise she would ripped my mother off her money. I searched up the email and this website came up. How can people be so grimey
