I used a nanny/babysitting website to try and find a job. I contacted William Crawford about the position with his family. After only 4 emails back and forth, "my answers were satisfactory" and I had been hired. He told me all about how he and his family were foreign investors from Belgium living in Malaysia, and that they would soon be relocating to Saint Louis. I was also asked to purchase a Nintendo DS for his daughter 'Ruth, ' along with several games. He was always cordial in our communications and seemed very sincere.
I have contacted the nanny/babysitting website to let them know of the scam.
Everything sounded within reason, but at the same time, everything sounded a little off. He never disclosed seemingly obvious information: his wife's name, where was his 5 year old daughter going to school, what his actual condo number was (all he disclosed was his address.)
I probably should have noticed the red flags, but I was very excited about this well-paying job and well, they were allegedly in the middle of a big move.
