So. As most of you know I work at a bank where we deal with fraud checks at least once every 2 months. Today, I was the lucky one who tried to deposit one of those. Let's go back a little...

My last post was about this amazing nanny job, paying me $500 a week. I knew it was too good to be true. This guy that I've been e-mailing back and forth about the job sent me a check in the mail yesterday that was for $2,770. Weird, right? Well after I got the check, I looked at my e-mail and he said for me to take the $500 out for my first weeks payment, and then use the rest of the money to buy groceries and other small things for the house he'll be moving into in a few weeks. So I thought it made sense. But then I went to the bank this morning to deposit it, and we thought it was kinda weird that the check was from a company in some town in Massachusetts. So after LOTS of phone calls, we concluded that this check, indeed, is fraud. 

BUMMER!!!

This was going to be the best nanny job I ever had! Watching a 3 year old boy for 20 hours a week, making $2000 a month! I did ask the man about it, but he has yet to respond. Lucky me. Now I'm back to working MAYBE 13 hours a week, getting paid crap. I knew life was going just too dang well for us.
