Is this "customer" trying to scam me?

[Cherrylicious]

I just met a customer from the website called housekeeper. com where you are allowed to put on your own hourly pay rate on your profile and list everything about yourself and he reached out to me asking to read his profile and see if I'm interested in which I did. He said that he is willing to pay $50 an hour for his requested services. He asked for my email address for him to give me a description of the job and how he wants it to be done and I sent it to him and this is what he says.

"I just bought a house and I'm looking for a honest housekeeper who can help me clean and handle a supervisor work for me which I'll add $100 to your payment after cleaning because I'm not around to supervise it myself, I can have my account officer issue an electronic check payment which will come in form of PDF and will be sent to your email , All you need to do is print the check out and have it deposited in your account".

He then ask me if I had my own cleaning supplies which I reply yes and I also stated that I would like to be paid through via zelle and he did not respond back. Is this a scam? Because I'm having a feeling that it is I just want it to get some clarity on this question.

I would definitely avoid this company going fowards.

It sounds like a scam as checks that are printed in that way will not work at a bank. Suggest he pay you in a normal way such as cash or PayPal and get at least half in advance. Do not give out your email account.

Thank you for the MHO. 😊

This sounds like a lot of pomp for something small. I’d disregard the guy and move on

[AI Opinion]

It does sound like a scam. Scammers often offer unusually high pay rates and use electronic checks, which can be fraudulent. The lack of response after you suggested a secure payment method like Zelle is another warning sign. Trust your instincts and avoid sharing further personal information. Always verify customer backgrounds and use secure payment methods for your safety.

There is not one bank on earth that will accept a printed PDF document as a check. SMDH.
