New Scam Model coming from Italy too good to be true

by Forum Member » Sat Jul 25, 2009 11:43 pm

I am a newbie to the pet sitting busienss but have been in business for years!
The below was too good to be true what do you think??




Hello Dear,
How are you today? My name is Mrs Roberta Munez, i am 42 yrs old. I use to work in England as a pet sitter 7 yrs ago before i relocated with my family to Milano, Italy where i now work as a caregiver, I have lots of happy clients here in italy.

I have been looking for a Pet sitter for over two weeks now, till i met an old friend Mrs jennifer moore, She use to live in America before she relocated with her family to Milano where she works now. I met her at Cosmetic Surgery And Beauty Conference that was held over the weekend in Florence I spoke with her about my client and was referred to you. She gave me your referral, So i decided to contact you to know if you will be able to help my client, she said you have taken care of her puppies before and your work was good.

I have a client Miss Alessia Frijio's a model here in italy. she will be coming to the U.S in 3 weeks time for a photo shoot job and will be residing in New Jersey temporarily until the neccesary arrangement for her job has been made before she leaves, She has two 11months old teacup Maltese Puppies and would be needing a pet sitter to take care of them while she is out on her photo shoot.
Miss Alessia Frijio's asked me to come with her to the US but i told her i would not be able to go with her to the US as i have a course i will be going for in a week time. So i promised to help her get a good pet sitter in your Area. Pls tell me a little more about your self, how long have you been a pet sitter? and would you be able to take care of the two teacup Maltese Puppies from the 15th of next month to the 20th of September, two hrs a day 3 days a per week for 5 weeks?
Pls i need you to get back to me with the amount you charge per her and also let me know if she can pay you via US Money Orders?
Do send your reply to my personal email address ( romunez@yahoo.it ) for a quick response as i do not check this email often.

Thank you very much and do have a nice day.

Hahahaha! I love how they inundate you with details. And the paying with money orders is a dead give away. Quote them a price and have them send the MOs. If they are good, cash them and say no refunds lol. Although I wonder how they plan to get away with fake money orders, it's not like a check that takes time to clear at the bank... ?
