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!!!
