Answered an ad for a CAREGIVER NEEDED ASAP on craigslist Hawaii. Now his name is Toby Coker.
Same deal with the kids and wife moving to Hawaii on March 5, 2011. Offered one week in advance payment. Luckily I had NOT sent my resume out and he went on and on about my 'vast experience' in the field which i had not provided.
This time it's UNITED STATES STEEL CORPORATION he's coming for and RYAN MELBOURNE SMITH is still the contact in the states with the same 832-615-1294 number.
I immediately googles the US Steel Corp and came up with a different area code.
I then googled the MARK JOHN SOLICITOR GEOFF HOTCHKISS GRAVEL BANK and all this internet fraud came up.

I got the exact same message and ended up giving the information requested (on the 21st, the day after you posted this) He had sent me an address of the place he was moving into and it turns out it was insanely close. Now this person has my address. How did you know it was a scam?

I just made the same mistake gigi. I received the SAME message. I was excited over this house cleaning opportunity and I sent my information to him, stupidly, befor I checked out his name. Is there anything that he could do with this information?

Just received many emails from a "steven and Melizza Smith".

Hello,

Thanks for showing interest in our search for a responsible and
reliable Nanny for our kids. I am very sorry for the late response. We
have been very busy with some personal issues and that was why I have
not been able to get back to you. Good to hear that you are interested
in the position.Our preference is a reliable and responsible nanny for
our 3 years old and 5 years old kids(Micheal,a boy and Alicia,a girl

your service for more than a year.But we will first need you for the
first 3 month We are looking for a humble, loving and caring Nanny
that will treat Micheal and Alicia as if they are related because
we've had bad experience with a Nanny in the United Kingdom and we
would not want such issue to recall itself again hence why we are
looking for a reliable nanny our self that is why we did not go
through a recruiter also and more so, we have limited time left
toarrive the States as we will begin work immediately when we arrive,
so that is why we want to successfully secure the service of a
responsible and reliable nanny ahead of time as we would not be able
to look for childcare when we arrive.We are from a family of four and
I am married to the most loving and understanding woman in this
world.Can we count on you to take good care of Micheal and Alicia
while me and my wife are away to our different fields of work .

family.I am a Freelance Financial Research Consultant by profession
and I'm also into full consultancy while my wife is in the medical
field and She's a Pediatric Nurse by profession.I am currently working
in Ireland with Irish Financial Services Regulatory Authority as a
Financial Expert in Ireland with my family.I'm moving to the United
States as I have been offered a well paying Job and I'm relocating in
some weeks time from now with my family though the Job Position is

working with The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the United
States as a Financial Consultant which would last for more than 36
Months.Your services would be required from Monday-Friday around 12
noon to 5pm in the evening. You can choose to make this a live-in or
live-out position. Mean while, I will also like to know your time
frame availability to see if this matches your time frame. More so, I
might be needing your service occasionally on weekends and holidays
but you'll have been notified earlier for such.Your weekly pay would
be $500 plus some other incentives but that depends on how hardworking
and reliable you are. Tax would be worked and taken care of by you
when you receive your pay,I'll tell you more about the kids so as to
know more about them before we arrive and you know what to look
forward to when you meet them in person.They are fun to be with and
very outgoing,They are neat and They are not naughty,as myself and my
wife has brought them up in the way of the lord,They are very cool and
obedient so you have nothing to worry about,They like playing with
their age groups or mates,they love swimming,going to the beach,going
to museums,dancing,playing games,reading textbooks,contemporary
paintings, pictures,scrabbles.Take good care of them and pick them up
later in the day at school.You will always take them out once in
awhile. They are not choosy when it comes to food,but they like pizza
alot.I believe you are fit for this position in as much as you will
prove yourself a reliable and and good person.We would expect your
service to commence by the 28th of July, 2011,as such our expected
arrival to the United States would be by 27th of July,2011 in order
for you to be around and available to assist in the setting up of the
house on that day, being that our belongings and furniture which are

process of making payments for the home that we would be living in
when we arrive so I will give you the address in due time and instruct
you when to go there. We have concluded plans and arrangements to
issue out an upfront payment in order to secure your service prior to
our arrival and ahead of time and to show our commitment and
seriousness on our part as we would not want to loose your service.As

Same crappy email here

Hello,
       Thanks for your email i am  interested in renting the place
for the period that you have specified that it will be available
for.,i will be arriving with my only daughter and i don't keep pets, i
am willing to offer you One months rent plus the security deposit in
order to secure this unit prior to my arrival.?Since it is in a nice
location,i am going to rent it as i like it with the little
discription from you .I am an easy going person and would be outdoors
most of the time during my stay in the unit due to the research work i
will be doing while i am in the states.i am presently in London in the
United Kingdom and will be arriving by August 25th  to your place.I
am a chemist by profession and am presently working at St.Mark's and
Luke Hospital, Harrow,Middlesex,London here in the United Kingdom and
