I've been needing some extra cash lately so I searched on craigslist and after emailing a resume tot he guy I'm wondering if it is a scam. He wants to pay with a certified check, sent a picture of his daughter etc. (fairly attractive). How safe is this, what can he do with my address etc?
check the link http://logan.craigslist.org/lab/1990289681.html
I've emailed the guy who replies within a day of emailing him, and he says he needs a driver to pick his daughter up at the airport, willing to pay 500 bucks a week to pick her up and driver her around 3 hrs 2 times a week for 2 weeks. Says he's from Scotland on a buissness trip and his daughter is visiting doing some shopping... I googled the email address and I found the same ad in a few other areas of the country during different time periods.
the help is appreciated, thank you!

Wonder if she's shopping or visiting various hotel rooms and private residences?
And for five days/week she just sits in her hotel room?
And the company in his email addy is in Houston?
something just doesn't add up imho...Something about the wrinkle in your forehead tells me there's a fit about to get thrown
And I never hear a single word you say when you tell me not to have my fun
It's the same old shit that I ain't gonna take off anyone.
and I never had a shortage of people tryin' to warn me about the dangers I pose to myself.

Make sure to provide your drivers license number and social for maximum identity theft damage with your address, phone, and email on your resume.
Actually, they might need a credit check too and maybe you should just give them your credit card number for maximum efficiency.
