NANNY SCAM: I was scammed out of $427.88 and discovered unauthorized charges on my bank account. The scam started while I was on CHINESELOVELINKS.com, a dating website. The SCAMMERS profile on CHINESESLOVELINKS.com included her being a live-in-nanny. Her employer is a international business man who lives in China. Her employer travels a lot and uses the travel agency LINKGUIDETRAVELS.com. The NANNY insisted that I use here employers travel agency to purchase a visa, physical, and air fare for her to visit the U.S. I wanted to verify who I was chatting with on Yahoo Instant Messenger while talking to her on the phone through my Skype account. She did not own a computer. She was using her employers computer and could not video chat because her employer caught the previous nanny naked while using a webcam in front of his two children. I sent her a new $350.88 laptop plus $77.00 shipping to her employers address, where she lives, to video chat with her. After she received the laptop, she now says she can't video chat because the new laptop will not work. Also, while the laptop was in route to China, someone obtained my debit card information and through a Skype account made charges to my bank account. The charges were for $25.00, $1.00, and $22.26. Skype informed me that these charges were fraudulent and cautioned me to close my debit card account. Skype also reversed the charges and closed the scammer's skype account. I then closed my debit card account. During the time of chatting with the NANNY, I called the travel agency LINKGUIDETRAVELS.com and spoke to a man named PENG LANG who says he is in the english department. PENG LANG, in an email, stated he would refund my money if he could not obtain a visa for the NANNY. The NANNY goes by the name MIN'NA.
