    Post: Tutor Scam

    Posted by Sheryl on 1/12/09

    Hello,
    Thanks for the email.I really so much
    appreciate your response to my email..Well it will
    be so nice if Tammy will have her fun
    anyway.Concerning the accommodation i will like to get
    the one nearer to you so it will be easy for both
    of you to meet for the tutor and even if you
    feel like taking her out anytime you want if you
    don't mind.Since you have agreed with the fee i will
    like you to know that its one of my client that will
    be sending you the payment to you and she will be
    issuing the check out for the first week and i will
    be paying the second week myself.The fact is that
    she need to send the payment to you before Tammy
    arrive and that will give me the full confidence that
    you are taking the job.She speaks English not just
    too good but you can communicate with her i think
    the reason why am using this oppurtunity is just that
    i want her to be engaged in something during her
    stay in Florida and i will like you to please do
    anything that is possible to improve her spoken
    English in any way you think you can for the little
    weeks and time to be spend with her..She will be
    arriving on Wednesday and i will like to know if
    you will be available to pick her at the airport
    but if you will be too busy then that's not a
    problem at all since she can get a Taxi from the
    airport,just little worried since she has never
    been to USA before that's all..I will like you to
    email me what time that will be ok for you to tutor her
    and which of the days will be convenient for you to do
    the tutor..I mean 3 times in a week and 2 hours
    each days for the 2 weeks she will be staying in
    Florida..
    Concerning the payment i will like
    you to please email me the information below for the
    delivery and like i have said i will like the payment to
    be delivered before she arrive so your prompt
    response will highly be appreciated.Here are the info
    needed..

    THE NAME ON THE CHECK:
    YOUR FULL HOME ADDRESS:
    ZIP CODE
    CELL/HOME PHONE

    I will be so glad to hear from you with the
    information above for the payment..

    Thanks
    Terry

    Hello,
    Thanks for the response to my advert on
    Craigslist.Actually my daughter is coming to Florida to
    spend sometime there during this Festive period,this
    is her first Visit to USA and i will like to have
    someone that can tutor her more in English she comes
    back to France.I intentionally stated that i needed a
    Female Security just because of easy communication
    and movement during her stay..She will be visiting
    for just 2 weeks and i will like you to help me and tutor
    her for like 3 hours in ever 2 days in the week,You
    can suggest any way that you think will help her in
    communicating with someone in English.She is 19 years
    of age and she speaks English and very easy to
    communicate with just not that standard.You will
    surely like her because she is so respectful and
    understanding,her name is Tammy.
    I have stated it on the advert that i will
    be paying $300 a week for this service and if you
    have some good places to take her to that will be good
    just for her to have fun during her stay and i think
    you will understand what i mean.
    She like going to park,watching movies i
    believe you have some interesting places more of
    that around you..I will like you to please email me
    back and let me know the days that will ok for you in
    each week and since she will be arriving this coming
    week i will like you to please do email me so i get
    more information from you and when she get there she
    will give you a call and you both fix time and
    date.I will be getting accommodation for her so
    there is not need for you to be worried about that
    ok...

    I hope to hear from you soon so as
    for me to know if you have anything more to add with
    my email..

    Regards

    Message from person that was a possible scam victim:

    I responded to an ad on CL for a tutor. I've copied your
    site so others are aware of responses I received
    from "Terry" about daughter coming to Florida for two weeks
    from France. So glad another posted a scam alert because
    the scam story/emails were the same as what I received. I
    replied to "Terry" "No". Beware of this scam...hope I can
    also help another beware to this scam. I think these
    people should be fined, etc for wasting our time and giving
    false hope. It's time for our Government to do something
    about scams!!!
