Scam Continues to Target Childcare Providers

Unfortunately, a scam continues to target childcare providers. The scam asks providers to provide short term care for children while their parents visit the United States. The 'parent' will then ask the provider to cash a check and send extra money back to the parent.

We have changed our site to try to protect providers from receiving scam e-mails, and are continuing to work to keep illegitimate e-mails from being sent through our site. Providers should question any e-mail that asks them to cash a check from an individual outside the United States.

Please let us know if you receive any questionable e-mails that originate from our site.

Thank you,
Scott & Melissa

I have received two of these now and one actually sent me a check after I denied offereing care. How should I handle this. The name they gave me did not match the check.
