Your daughter is not an "idiot" as some poster rudely claimed. Adults fall for these scams ALL the time on craigslist. You were just looking out for her. You came on here to help out people who work in the child care industry and you get subjected to verbal abuse.

I was contacted by a man who gave me an elaborate story (after me asking him LOTS of questions) about how his family is moving to my area and they would like to hire me to take care of their child. Since they were moving here with close to nothing he was going to send me money to buy his daughter a carseat and furniture for her bedroom. We abruptly stopped communicating when I asked to speak to him on the phonedge and refused to send my address.

My mom and I are best friends but at 20, I'd rather swallow glass than let her get involved in my business. I made a lot of mistakes, and my mother would say there are some things one has to learn on their own skin. My housemate (25 yo) and her mother aren't all that close but they see it as perfectly normal as to buy all of her groceries and pay her bills (she's employed and with a ba). <br />care.cm is full of scams, when my account was still active I'd get an email or two per month that were scams, and sometimes even texts. You have to get smart to avoid scams, and if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is ( 1 child, 4 hr/day, 20hrs/wk, $20/hr for a total newbie? Keep dreaming).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-15263666751610836362016-09-30T16:31:37.718-04:002016-09-30T16:31:37.718-04:00Exactly. Some families are just close.

Anyone who is 20 years old should be able to handle their life without mommy stepping in. You should def warn her if you think this is a scam, but to actually ask for the number and text to check up for her is just ridiculous.
