CM's be warned ! ! !

[weakmum]

Hi

Just to let you that I have received two emails so far from people who pretend to be looking for childminders offering high rates. they ask for your bankd details, your passport photos, your address and surprisingly they are not even in UK.

The second one said he is still in america and his employer will be paying me by cheque for a deposit. The minute I read this my hairs started raising. These emails have been sent by men. pls dont respond to them.

any one who asks for your bank details sounds dodgy to me

i normally get emails from men with dead wifes - so therefore they need a nanny for their children - i spam them all

and normally their grammar is dreadful (thou mine not much better sometimes)

Thank you for the heads-up on this scam weakmum

I think these people target us thinking we are desperate for money. the first email I almost fell for it but something just told me this is not right.

i get emails from afican vicars looking for adhoc childcare whilst visiting uk! very dodgy!

thanks guys I was actully worried thinking these people were just targeting me. was even thinking of taking off my details at CIS. i feel better now. on my way to bed got a busy day tommoro.

i will only give details once i have met mindees and parents and they have signed contract.i have also in past phoned tax credits to make sure no one using my reg no.!!!!!
