Who called from 4029254278

I have seen this email floating around here. Looks like the scammer is using different phones and phone numbers. Just thought I would release this one to inform everyone if they get a text from this number saying they found them on care.com and would like a sitter. She or he is sending the same email.

I got the same message. Scam

I received the same text and the same email with slight differences. Her name is Patricia from Pheonix and her son Andy is 6 in a wheelchair. she said she'd pay $18/hr for 9-9-4 work on sat and sundays. She used a different number though.+17147233899

This is a 3rd party shipper scam. It involves you getting a check & then you are to wire funds (by a cash wire transfer service) to her shipper. In 4-6 weeks the check bounces, the cash you wired to the shipper is actually the scammer, etc. etc. etc.
