Daycareproviders.com has been made aware of four instances where a person in a foreign country or the US is trying to get money out of our child care providers by committing fraud.  The scenario goes like this:

Someone internationally sends you an email through a web site you are listed on.  They state they need care for their son/daughter for a month while they come to the states. The person sends a bogus check/money order for 5,000 dollars or what ever amount they send, and want you to take out your charges for the month and send him/her the rest of the money.

This scenario can change into any form and can be solicited in the states as well.

There are person's who need child care in the USA and are from other countries, so please be careful when conducting business with persons outside the USA. 

Our web site protects your email address so person's cannot acquire your actual email address.   Please be aware that not all web site's do this.  Your email address can be acquired from several other child care directory's online.  We have seen over the past year or two that other sites like ours, have taken our lead in protecting their members email address's as well.

Please help get the word out on this, email your associations your fellow providers.
