    Thanks for the info! I responded to one of those ads and
    thought the response was weird. I googled a quoted section
    of their page and found out it was a scam.

    Mine was from a man claiming to be Steve Carrick, whose
    daughter was in Greece with her mother. It's posted below.

    Dear Applicant,
    Thanks for the reply. The position is still available and
    thanks for wanting to take my daughter the tutor. Its really
    amazing and she is very happy about it. I have made contacts
    with my daughter concerning the arrangement of the tutoring
    which she told me is ok by her and I want you to know that i
    am going to pay for 1 month, which should be $30/hr as stated
    in the posting and also am planning that you will be teaching
    her 3 times a week,for 2hrs per day,so you will be earning a
    total sum of $720 per month. In order for you to know we are
    very serious about this we will sending you a upfront payment
    for the first month via a bank official check issued by my
    financier and will be mail to you via UPS next day delivery.
    I will also like you to know that my daughter is presently
    with her mother in Grecce and she will be coming over to the
    state towards the end of June, i will be depending on you
    about the tutor. i look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Regards
    Steve Carrick
