I have recently relocated to Southeast Kansas and have been staying with friends trying to get on my feet and get into my own place. I have worked a few random jobs, but have had no luck finding a permanent position with a company that would offer good pay and enough hours to allow me to afford to get into my own place. I thought I had found the solution to my financial problems when I read the local newspaper this morning. The add was seeking a babysitter imediately and the position paid $700 per week. I didn't think much of it when I read the add at first, but as I went about my morning I found myself thinking "could this be real?" This was not really the kind of work I was looking fo rnecessarily, but I have many years experience working in a foster care facility with children of all ages and ethnic backgrounds and am certified in child & adult CPR and First Aid so I figured I might stand a pretty good chance at getting this job. I called the number mentioned in the add and must admit I did find it a bit strange when the voice on the recording instructed me to go to www.wonderfulnanny.com So I got online to check out their website and fill out an application. But all I got is a message saying that the website cannot be found. Then I decided to see if I could find out anything about this website using www.google.com and was greatful that I did when my search recovered many warnings from other people who were scammed by this irrestible offer. Lucky for me, I didn't get far enough into their web of lies to pay an application fee. I am only sorry for those honest people who in searching for a job stumbled across this website and were scammed. I guess if it sounds too good to be true, it truely is.
