Everyone there is a scammer out there, he could go by many names but do not fall for it! He went by Bobby Marcus, or Trudy Young, or whatever and he claims that he needs a babysitter for his twin boys. He will offer you alot of money. Do not fall for it! He somehow scammed my sister who wanted to babysit out $4500 before she found out! Please take caution! Scammers are using kids now to trick you so dont fall for it. Anyone who sends you a check, check it out first! Do not cash the check in. It will come out of your bank account. Just wanted to warn all the other innocent people out there. Thank you for listening. Here is what he sent her:

FIRST EMAIL:

Hello,
Please can I have your attention for a while?
I am Bobby Marcus working as a system analyst for DELL COMPUTERS INC, UK.I came across your ad on craigslist as a good caregiver for infants.I’m impressed with your work, hence I would want to leave my KIDS in your care everyday as I would accompany 3 other delegates for an inspection tour of one of our mini-stores located near you.The inspection tour implies that I leave my hotel every morning (8:30am)to the venue and report back home at 5pm.This would make it difficult to take care of my KIDS, hence the reason I solely picked you up to secure you for the task. This tour would strect from the 10th August through 10th September.I would want to solely secure you for this time frame(that is 10th August through 10th September) and would want to know how much it would cost me.Money is not a problem as I would want all condition conducive for both you and my KIDS while they are in your care.

My KIDS are just 2yrs in age, lovers of computer games, never allergic and are free eaters .I would be sending you their BIRTHDAY PICTURE as soon as I get a reply from you indicating your readiness to care for them everyday before I return.

I hereby anticipate your reply indicating your availability throughout these times and the total cost of caring for them.

Thanks with love.
Bobby

I would reimburse you back immediately I arrive.Treat this message with utmost priority as I want all setup and in place prior to my arrival with the KIDS.

I would be expecting the Western Union transfer details immediately. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding. Hope to see you soon as I await the needful.

How are you doing today ? It was good talking to you on phone yesteday and I must commend you for the job well done .

Information reaching me from the store manager indicated that some of the kids items are currently unavailable and it should be in store within 2-3 days or thereabout for onward delivery . Trudy was asking me if she could send the ones that are ready to you and I disagreed because I like doing things in full. You are going to receive a payment tomorrow. Be expecting it, and once you have it, you will deduct $2500 being the cost of your charges to take care of Peter and Paul and additional $300 its just a token in appreciation of your kind gesture . I am going to tell you what to do with the rest funds by tomorrow .

I am going out now for dinner, I will give you a call latter in the day. Thanks for your usual cooperation and understanding. Hope to hear from you soonn.

Regards,
Bobby

This is where she finally caught on. Please do not let this happen to you. She is young and they do not prey on the elderly anymore. They prey on innocent people and kids. Please take heed and beware of this person. Thank you so much. If you need anymore info about this, feel free to ask! I want everyone aware of this scam.
