Type of a scam Employment

A response came to my 5/7 email inquiry 10 days later (5/17): "Patrick Dolan", his mother, Abigail and his daughter would be moving to Erwin on 5/30. His mother has diabetes and has recently been bound to a wheelchair. They wanted an aide to care for her 10 -3, M-F, starting next Saturday. He wrote that he does not have Skype or any way to speak to me before that time.

He wrote that he is mailing a check to me for $3800 to pay for a new wheelchair for his mother and my first week’s salary. He wants me to deposit into my account as soon as I receive it. $3300 is to buy an electric wheelchair for his mom. He wrote that the the check will come with instructions. I am to purchase the wheelchair. He cannot purchase it, he wrote. He wrote that he and his mother are in Sydney.

He wrote that he wants me to meet him next Saturday and a place that I choose. He told me he will be living on "Vinton Street" in Erwin, which doesn’t exist, although a Vinton Avenue exists. He would not give me the house number.

He sent a tracking number for the UPS shipment of the check / letter, but when I looked it up, it could not be found.

I haven’t received the check yet.
