<prompt> Human: Recently I created an account on care.com to work for people directly instead of working for an agency. I have been talking to several families about babysitting and senior caregiving, when an unusual one came up.This lady is offering a rather high amount per hour to watch her disabled son on weekends, claiming that she needs the best care and someone who wont back out at the last minute. She is moving to the area at the end of the month, and needs someone so badly that she is willing to pay in advance with a deposit or check. Red flag 1, maybe? The second thing that came up was her sons wheelchair. Im wondering if I could have the seller deliver it to you so you can help receive the wheelchair and pay the seller on delivery to ensure he can have access to the chair immediately when we arrive. The one he is currently using isnt ours so were not moving with it. The wheelchair cost 2523, I will be sending you a check to cover your first weekend deposit payment and the cost of the wheelchair so you can take out your deposit and pay the cost of the wheelchair to the seller when she delivers it. After our meeting on date, we would go with you to pick it up. The check will be made in the amount of 2775. 252 will be for your deposit and the balance of 2523 will be paid to the wheelchair lady.Please understand that the aim of having you purchase the wheelchair is to ensure that the wheelchair is available for my son on arrival. The wheelchair isnt assembled. Its still packed in pieces so its not a big package at all and you do not need to assemble it unless you are willing to on the day we meet. Due to his condition, i wouldnt want any delay with the arrangement of the chair so you can let me know if everything is clear so i can go ahead with processing the payment.Up until I got this message, everything sounded ok but now it seems fishy as hell. Im not familiar with checkdeposit scams but alarm bells are ringing in my head. I dont know this woman, and I certainly dont have the money to lose if something goes wrong. If this lady is well off enough to pay so well for childcare, cant she have it delivered to a medical supply store where it can be assembled and held for her or even delivered the day of? Any thoughts, suggestions? EDIT: Thanks, everybody! SCAMMY SCAM SCAM, how fun.  <response>: Scammy scammy scam.
