Here is a sample email from a scam artist who calls himself Ben Valera. Do not reply to this individuals emails. If you have been in contact with him, stop communicating with him. Please report his internet fraud attempt to live.com.
Hello,

How are you doing today.My name is Ben Valera, I came across your email address via www.nannyclassifieds.com and i believe you are a Nanny. We have a little girl(2 years old),her name is Betty. We would need a babysitter/nanny who will
take care of her during our stay in the United states and i believe that with a
nanny like you, she would be comfortable. We would be spending 2 weeks vacation
before returning back to Perugia, Italy. We would want you to babysit her from
Monday through Friday, 10am - 5pm daily. I will like to know your price for
babysitting her including any other costs. Get back to me so that we can proceed
further.

Hoping to hearing from you..

Ben Valera.

Hello,

Thank you for getting back to us.We will be coming to the States on 2nd of February, 2009 and we will need your service from 2nd-15th of February,2009 excluding Weekends. Will you will be available at that period? Firstly we want to get a Babysitter/Nanny for our little girl (Betty) before we book our vacation home. We are not sure of the area we would be visiting since we don’t have a nanny to take good care of him. Which part do you live (City & State)? Your decision will determine where we would be staying in your location, let us know if you can take care of her in your home.

Kindly give us your price for the nanny job per week from Monday-Friday from 9am-4pm , the main reason why we need your service is that we will be busy during week days because we have to visit some places.We will be dropping her off and pick her up later around your schedules. My daughter is a kid one would like to be with…full of fun and love playing around…she loves toys. I am sure you will be able to give us a good price that will be affordable for us to pay..lol

If i may ask, how long have you been doing this Nanny Job? Well, i have no doubt since i found your contact on
www.nannyclassifieds.com.

Hoping to read from you soon.

Kind Regards,
Ben Valera.

Gee Thanks for caring to get back.Its appreciated greatly.

I must let you know that Our Company got branches in several states over there and I have was given the freedom to choose a branch to arrive in any state.I want to be close to her.I WILL be renting a Hotel within your location.

Her name is Lisa.She can Live at your place,I can always bring her to your home in the mornings and on my way from work,I can pick her back to my hotel which will definitely be close to you.

Or if you like,you can choose to come stay with her at the hotel in the morning,before I leave for work till the afternoon when I will get back from work,then you take your leave….Which Hotel is close to you??…Which Idea do you prefer??

You dont need to have a car.

I will get back to you with the date of arrival at your place,and when you are to start.But I feel the very first thing is proving to you that all this is real and will work.I will make a half payment to you before you start and the balance after the first 2weeks with my child.How would you like to get this first half??

You must have gotten half payment in hand before our arrival at your location so you know this is NOT some sort of joke.You will watch her for 7hrs daily.Mon-Fri that is.I never done this before but I will pay you approximately $18 per hour…Is that okay by you??

She is gentle,hardly fall sick,she likes sports,loves to watch cartoons,likes going to the beach,she likes to watch TV mostly and can eat by herself,I’m sure you wont have problems with her.

Kindly answer all my questions accordingly as I am to forward this email to my new company as proof that I am paying for a hand in child care.So my expenses which they are going to take care of can simply come in one payment.

Looking to read from you.
Thomas.

I must let you know that Our Company got branches in several states and I have was given the freedom to choose a branch to arrive in any state.I want to be within the state where my Child is so I could always check up on her weekly at your place.This means I am trusting you to do a Child Care for her right at your place.Will this be a problem ?

You dont need to have a car.

I will get back to you with the date of arrival at your place,but I feel the very first thing is proving to you that all this is real and will work.I will make half payment to you before you start and half after the first 2weeks with my child at your place..How would you like to get this first half??How does that sounds?

You must have gotten half payment in hand before our arrival at your location so you know this is NOT a joke.You will watch her for 12hrs daily,Mon-Fri then I pick her on Saturday Morning at your place.I dont know how this is but I will pay you approximately $18 per hour…Is that okay by you??

She is gentle,hardly fall sick,she likes sports,loves to watch cartoons,likes going to the beach,she likes to watch TV mostly and can eat by herself,I’m sure you wont have problems with her.

Kindly answer all my questions accordingly as I am to forward this email to my new company as proof that I am paying for a hand in child care.So they can include that in my traveling expenses which is to be paid to me.
