Post Title: Adult Care Giver

Location: fresno / madera

States affected: CA - california    

Notes:
This person requested a Care Giver for her mother Morgan (If that really is her mother anyway). She claimed to have an "important" job in New York which would require some intelligence, right? Well, at first all seemed normal, until I realized she was asking me questions and for contact information that I already had provided for her. She required I have a power wheel chair sent to my house and that I pick up (buy with my own money) grocery and house items for her mother. She must have realized how ridiculous it sounded because then she offered to send a check, but asked me for my: Name, Address, Phone Number, If I had a vehicle, and other NONSENSE that I had already included in my original resume. I told her she was asking too many questions I had answered already and that if she was serious, she needed to contact me by phone. Surprise, Surprise, all contact STOPPED. I reported her to local authorities, but who knows if she's really here or in New York anyway.
