I also saw this about moving to shamokin pa. Here is one email.
Thank you for your humble response and all your suggestions. Hope you’re enjoying the new year which should turn out blissful for us all.. So so sorry for my late reply too as I’ve been worked out through out this week and have little or no time for myself, sure you know why this is so by now? also I understand you have to make quick decisions as regarding your job hunt but please bear with us as I assure all will be well and fall in place in due time. Honestly you seem really like the person we’ve been looking for, I’ll just try to get around the roaming problems over here pretty soon and have Harry give you a call, as said in my previous mail to you, I’m hearing impaired, so my husband Harry will handle the calling aspect for now, atleast till I get my aid all setup.
Sorry I didn’t tell you earlier that we had to postpone our flight, the doctor says Abigail’s joints are still weak coupled an increasing BP due to excitements :( the recent whether also are really bad with high turbulence which could affect Ma’s BP negatively. I hope you understand I have to get all set before we finalize moving to Shamokin.

Also I have decided to choose you for this position :) and I do hope for a very eventful time with you while you look after grandma. Her name is Abigail and she is a very bright and intelligent woman. I will like to state the job details to you again so we wouldn’t have any complications at any point in time. Your new start date will be Mon the 18th. You will have Abigail from 10:00am – 3:00pm Mondays through Fridays at our new home on Fig Rd while I and the family take care of our little company projects. My husband Harry and I work together, so would always be out but Ryan who is just 5 but growing into a big man will be in school, most of the time I go to pick him up, I’m sure we can figure something out.. Abigail’s nap time ranges between 12:30pm to 2:00pm, she has no allergies and is a ‘type B’ diabetic which means she isn’t insulin dependent but needs to check her blood pressure once a day with her glucometer, this shouldn’t site a problem to you as she’s also learned and easy-going. The doctors have advised she has a lot of rest so I have arranged for her treatment to be home inclined which means she will also have someone come over to give her medications at home, so you really don’t have to worry about her medical treatments most of the time other than to attend to her basic needs like laundry, dishes and most importantly a frequent massage to relief her aging bones.
While you both are together, you are also allowed to teach and interact with her in your own very way and take her on outings and exercises whenever necessary. Funds would be provided on weekly basis just in-case she needs anything outside from what we have arranged for her, I’m sure you already know the pay rate is $18/hr and I would love if we meet and talk in person when we get back, so we can communicate better about the adult-fun and learning activities and other questions you may want to ask.

We could meet at your home or any closest restaurant or coffee shop to you and please, do the favor of choosing the address since you are familiar with everywhere around. Also just to let you know! I once hired a nanny but close to her resumption she told me she got another job which was a big disappointment for all of us, for this reason, I insist I would like to commit you by paying in advance for the first week of your service before our arrival to secure the date so I can be absolutely sure of having you care for her to enable things go perfectly without any hiccups. I’m also doing this just in-case you may need to get a few stuff yourself before we arrive, not to worry, this is what I do to all my employees as well. I want you to see this position as you helping us because taking care and been around elderly parents is a very heart warming experience.
Moreover I am planning on having the power wheelchair seller deliver it to you immediately after payment so you can have it ready for Abigail prior to our arrival, the seller will be shipping it expressly through FedEx or USPS to avoid delays. She currently has a temporary one she uses at the hospital here though so please let me know if this works out fine for you so I can arrange for it as soon as possible thank you.
I look forward to hearing from you soon..

Thought it would be useful and go a long way to set up a family picture earlier today at the hospital, so you can have the slightest knowledge of what we look like. Hope this meets you well too. Enjoy the rest of your day!

Warm Regards,
Gwen & Harry Gibbs [ Call or Text Phone: 717 388 3509 – 717 216 0760]
second:
Thanks for your immediate response and I’m so glad to read from you, so so sorry for my late response too as I’ve been very busy with the family over here. Hope you guys had a blissful holiday and are preparing for a better year ahead. My name is Gwen M. Gibbs and I used to live in Pittsburgh, PA with my family (my husband Harry and my son Ryan). Grandma and the family will be relocating to Shamokin on Sat the 9th, that’s why I placed the ad for a caregiver. Absolutely no problems having the two of you work for us, I can also accommodate a nanny who can be indoors too as we have enough space for everyone. The position is needed for my 82 yrs old grandma immediately between the previously stated hours, I really hope you will you be available at these hours but if you’re not, I can be flexible with the timing, I’m sure we can figure out something, but those Hrs are when she needs utmost care and attention. Also I took a look at your experience so far and I believe you can be fit enough, as we intend to secure a caregiver prior to our arrival.

More importantly, she is currently placed on a wheelchair due to osteoarthritis (a type of arthritis) but to the glory of God, she is currently regaining her steps and can walk a short distance though, but the specialist advised she uses a wheelchair for three more months, so right now we are currently in Australia for her treatment and should be back next month. I really need a honest and responsible care for her so this could be a permanent job, it depends on what your schedule looks like but I need to be sure if you’ll be available for the 3-4 months just so we can find our way around and use your help to get familiar with everywhere, I hope you understand.
I am planning on getting her a powered chair before we arrive and I have also contacted some sellers and looking for the best alternative that will fit just perfectly. I will let you know as soon as we finalize everything, you can see I have my hands full with family and grandma and I’m very busy ATM, So sorry for my late replies but I’ll keep making out time to talk to you.

I would like you to also send me your Full Name, Home Address and your active Mobile number, so I can include that to my payroll for the period you’ll be helping us. I would also like you to tell me a few things about yourself so i can have little knowledge of you. Here is a little about me:

I’m 46 years old, also hearing impaired, happily married and blessed with my little superhero ‘Ryan’ *he loves spiderman* lool..
Also my husband is the CEO of Gibbs Rest Home; A mental Health care offering Psycho-dynamic Counseling & assisted living in PA.. I attend the catholic church and I’m a true and God fearing Christian. Having said all these, I believe we’ll have so much to talk about when we meet.
Kindly include all the requested details above, though I’m having problems roaming our two cells over here, *very poor and expensive service indeed* I can text or have Harry call you with any of the two anytime or better still get an Australian network if we need to pass any urgent information during our course of moving. Thank you very much and i hope you understand everything?..

Many Regards,

Harry & Gwen Gibbs,
CEO,
GIBBS REST HOME

Hello Good Day

Thanks for responding to my personal ad for a caregiver, I'm sorry for my late response too as i just found your message in my spam folder when I was already loosing hope. At this moment I wish you're the right one as i found no one qualified yet at the same time been very busy with work and taking care of Ma.
I and my mum who is diabetic will be moving to Winnipeg soon, we've been away in VIC Australia for some medical treatment based on her health issues but we should be back next week though, and I need a nanny to assist her for 5 hours [10:00AM - 3:00PM] flexible during the day Monday - Friday.

Also I'm willing to pay $18/hour for this position which will be $450 per week, this position doesn't require much training nor experience, no lifting either as she can help her self with few things. I'm just in urgent need of a honest and dedicated caregiver, though a convincing resume would be a compelling start, and I sincerely hope you will be available at these hours. Kindly get back to me if you're still interested in this position so as to proceed..

Thank you,
Peter..

We just finalized moving to Winnipeg and also have decided to choose you for this position :) I do hope for a very eventful time with you while you look after Mum.

I received your messages and I'm really glad you appreciate this job, that's the first step towards loyalty i think. Also we can meet at your preferred location on the 13th just after our arrival, but if there isn't enough time then we will definitely meet on Monday 'your start date'. I do hope these time ranges will be convenient for you as I'm OK with your schedule as well. I would also appreciate you working for us in a 'one family' manner not just as a caregiver, this increases love and the bond will definitely build a great relationship between us.
As stated in my previous mails, Abigail has no allergies but just requires more carb in her diet, frequent massages on her joints, laundry and dishes too. She's fun loving i must say and sometimes even cook by herself while we get along, all you need do is take care of her basic needs and making sure her drugs are administered rightly but you have to cook most times..lol.

Also about the power chair for Abigail, I forgot to mention earlier that I've also arranged for some attachable accessories alongside the chair, it will come with (Lap tray with a cup holder, narrow flip-away arm rest, Chair-pro safety belt and head cover for harsh weather conditions). These accessories can all be attached and detached from the chair, as their needs may arise. This shouldn't pose any problem to you i presume as they would also come with manuals to help in utilizing them. Mum is weak in her joints so the chair is to support not that she can't walk at all, its portable as it can be folded into sizable fittings, its fascinating though :) as its one of the best money can buy, once folded it can fit just right to the back of any car which you can be bringing to get us when we land safely, I'm willing to take care of all the cost if that's comfortable with you.
So I was able to finalize with the wheelchair seller, together with the all the accessories will be shipped to your address before our arrival. About your check, I talked to my payment officer who happens to be my personal assistant [PA] too and he informed he had mailed out your first week payment plus an additional deposit on the check for the chair, he advice me on the best way to pay for mum chair should be COD (cash on delivery) so you can have your proper inspection and cross examination incase of any courier damages and other faults too before paying for the chair, I think I support him on that as he always has a good insight on things, that why I made him my PA, he also informed it should arrive soon this week as it was mailed and dispatched earlier today. As soon as it arrives, you are to make the deposit of the check into your account and let me know as soon as you have done that, it should take 24Hrs or less for the funds to be available, just keep me updated so I can proceed with final arrangement for the delivery of Abigail's chair to you accordingly. I'm sorry I didn't inform you about this earlier as I've just been extremely busy of recent and just got useful information. Hope you understand all these I've said so as to have all your info sent across to them ASAP and to avoid any hiccups in the nearest future too, you're to pay on delivery as soon as the check clears too. Kindly let me know if this is clear to you so I can proceed in making the arrangements for the delivery. Thank you very much! Hope to read from you soon..

Warm Regards,
Peter.

Hey there , It just got to my notice that you weren't around when the check was delivered from Canada Post earlier today and it was sent back to the post office, please the check is for you first week payment and mum's chair. There should be a notification card they left that you're to present to them to claim your package. so you're to go and claim it ASAP...

6th message
How are you today, I hope alright? and hope this meets you in good condition too, also sorry for not touching base with you all these while, apart from the roaming problems, things haven't been easy over here as we are currently in the hospital with Abigail, the doctor says her health is deteriorating so she was rushed to the ICU in the wee hours of Sun the 13th when we were even making final arrangements for the long trip back, she has been and still in coma which leaves the whole family devastated, even my little boy Ryan knows something is wrong. These really ruined most of our plans on returning I must say, The doctor said the excitement she had increased her BP which lead to an attack, I've to say she's not fit for a flight now until we sort out all her health issues, this also made me postpone the return date on our tickets, I hope you bear with me as the whole family including you has no choice than to be strong for her. Please do not think it's your fault as you have really put in your best for us these past few weeks, but i think this is a trial period and we put all our faith in God..

About the chair arrangements, I duly informed the seller that funds are not available at the address this moment so I made re-arrangements for a re-delivery and this is being processed at the moment, I'll call them first thing this morning and confirm the exact date it gets to you, will email or call as soon as I get useful information also I presume you have access to the funds already after the check was deposited to your account last week. Please let me know this as it's a very vital information in making this arrangements

Again, so so sorry for telling you all these this late! Ma got me scared and destabilized a bit there, unexpectedly too but I promise you won't be disappointed as you've added meaningfully towards our safety and well being.. Thank you very much and I really do appreciate your patience, I'm positive about her health but she also needs prayers and I know all will be well. I'll get back to you pretty soon on the new date of our flight depending on the doctor and Abigail too, also other information as time goes on.

Warm Regards,
Peter..

Thanks for posting iwasone.

The check that was sent to you was fake and the scammer was hoping that you would bank it and withdraw the funds to send to his fake shipper before anyone realised. You would then have been left to repay the money when the check was discovered to be fake and possibly also had to pay bank charges.
Please don't confront scammers or tell them their details are on anti-scam sites. It will take them minutes to set up a new identity and existing warnings will be worthless.

I have deposit the check on the bank and good thing the bank tells me that they have to authenticate it first not only for their protection and also for mine.. He keeps on txting and emailing me. Thats why i change my cp number laready and i report it already in the police. Yeah i might have wothdraw it and have a debt in the bank that would be very awful situation for me
