Description

Received the following email after applying for a caregiver role on indeed: Greetings and thanks for your response.. My name is Bill Strahan (HR at Comcast Connectivity and Platforms) and My mum's name is Nicole Strahan. She's 72 years Old. I'm texting you regarding the Caregiver position for my mother Nicole who's in her 70s, 128 lbs and 5.7ft, has difficulties in walking due to arthritis, uses a walker and wheelchair but manages to stand herself so no lifting will be required. She has a good sense of humour and likes reading, baking and dancing. Duties may include running domestic errands, meds reminder, checking on her 4 days in a week and 6hrs per day of care is required for proper caring to know how well about her health and the pay is $35/hr. Schedule may vary depending on your availability as the job allows you to choose the days and hours that will be convenient for you to work to avoid conflict with other activities. Also you will be accompanying her to the hospital when she is needed for a medical check up. Reason for hiring ASAP is because I got transferred to your city and we are in the process of relocating to the area. That's why we seek to hire with couple of things regarding our relocation too. 1) Is this something you can do? 2) How soon can you get started if hired? 3) Can you provide a reference? IF YES. Kindly get back to me with your information below * Full Name: * Address: * City: * State: * Zip code: * Phone Number: * Age: The urgency and request for my age were red flags. Came on this website and someone receive the same email from a different state. Looked up Bill’s name and job and like the other person said, the real Bill is at least 70 himself so there’s no way he needs care for his 70 year old mom.
