Someone sent me a request to watch their dog 2 hours a day, 3 days a week. They sent me a very sketchy sounding email as follows to my private email address and I was wondering how to report them as this seems like some type of scam:

I am fine with your availability and also you schedule.

No problem about working for me,We will be living in Charlotte, NC,. I and my family would be coming into town on the 5th of September,let me know when its most convenient for you to start that day and also my financial Clerk will make out a check to you before our arrival.You will receive a Certified Check which you will deduct your wages of $300 for the first week and the remaining funds will be used to buy foodstuffs and other things needed in the house. You will be getting the foodstuffs on or before the day of our arrival which will be 5th of September. Actually our flights from New York will arrive at night so you will be getting the foodstuffs in the morning and making all other preparations.

I will also instruct my estate agent to mail the keys of the apartment to you so as to do all other necessary preparations before we arrive. You have to get all this shopping before our arrival so that we wont have to start running around when we arrive, So my financial Clerk would be needing the following Information to make out the check payment.
