Childcare providers – beware of new scam to try to defruad your childcare business

Several childcare providers have reported this scam to us recently.

If you get the below email, simply delete and ignore it. Basically if you engage the fraudster will send you a cheque and at a later date ask for a refund of the (then already cancelled) cheque. Spread the word.

handle I do not know if a short time care like taking care of my kids
