  | Anonymous Denver, CO, United States 2013-09-30 07:09:27 Job Scam Craigslist (craiglist.com) |   fake tutoring request in response to my ad offering tutoring services
The second message from \'her\' states that she has 2 kids needing tutoring lessons. \"Is the tutor lesson still available? we are planning to relocate here and i want my children to attend your tutorial while i am away for keeping them busy...Lisa is 16yrs while cristian is 10yrs...So I want you to calculate the cost of 2 hours/day for 3 days/week which the tutorial will be held for the whole Month. Email me at brookex4g@gmail.com\". Up to this time she provides no name for herself, and notice there are now two kids. On emailing this person at their stated email address, and providing a breakdown of the cost of the number of sessions she requested she replied as if I had not provided a cost estimate (or she didn\'t understand it) and wanted my full contact information to send a cashier\'s check, as she is doing business in Guam, and she states she has no cell service, though I can see on my email screen that the previous emails were apparently sent over a mobile phone- \"Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry.\" Her kids are to be conveyed to a tutoring lesson location of my choice by way of a hired driver, and lessons are to start asap. I replied that I only work in cash and would never contract a month of tutoring in advance before a successful initial session. I doubt I\'ll hear back from this person again. \"Hello, Thanks for getting back to me....My name is Megan Hall,We are new here in the city(means we just relocated here) and I want my childrens to be working with some stuffs upon my departure from home on business.I am out of cell phone service in Guam presently. The payment will be made out to you via certified bank, check So do calculate the cost of 2 hours/day for 3 days/week which the tutorial will be held for the whole Month once again and E-mail me. Your own convenient time and day for that 3 days you want my childrens to be coming in a week is needed so that the time will be scheduled with the hired driver that will always drive them down to your house or lesson venue..I will be very glad if tutor lesson wiill start asap. Kindly get back to me with your information below to be on the check..... Name: Full address: City: State: Postal Code: Home and Cell phone Number Thanks and hope to read from you soon. Best Regards.\" | |||||
