An East McKeesport woman advertising her nanny business on a Web site said Friday she was bilked out of more than $4,600 recently by an unknown man who claimed to need someone to take care of his daughter.
"This is the downside of technology," said Corbett spokeswoman Barbara Petito. "The big danger of these types of scams is that charges are not likely and rarely do consumers recover their money."
The 29-year-old woman, who declined to be identified, first heard from the con artist via e-mail through her advertisement on www.pittsburghnanny.com, an Internet site that matches local caregivers with parents.
