Type of a scam Employment
Hello,
I am reporting what seems to be a scam. I was solicited through the website Care.com. I had placed on my profile that I did a few services and one was cleaning. I was contacted by this person named Joel Lambert through text messaging (His phone number is 234-231-5210) and he said he needed a cleaner. I kept asking where the new place was going to be located, he would never say. So I have attatched the email he sent plus the texted conversations we had.
Thanks
