    Posted on 6/06/09

    Here is a tutoring scam that I have just received. Seems
    that there is no end to what people are willing to do to
    scam others.

    Hello,
    Thanks for replying back to my online job posting,
    requiring your tutorial service for my Daughter,I would
    like to make a tutoring arrangement between you and my
    Daughter for the month of June/July 2009, I would like you
    to tutor her within a period of 1 month for now,on a
    schedule basis of 1 hr Daily, 3 times weekly,totaling 12
    times in a month.I am willing to pay $50/hr.I would like to
    use these medium to inform you that my Daughter don't live
    in the US, she would be flying from UK to the US, I want
    you to teach her during her 8 month stay in the US, if
    there is need to extend your services, an amendment would
    be made to your salary. she would be dropped off/picked up
    by her nanny during the hours of teaching at any location
    you want the Tutoring to take place in your area.You would
    be receiving a check drawn from a Bank in the US, from my
    business associates in the US, since i am from uk and right
    now am in Cuba for a business trip,the payments won't be
    honored in any bank in UK or here in Cuba , These check
    would be made out for the cost of the tutorial services you
    are rendering,and also for the living expense, nanny fees
    of my Daughter . Regarding this- I hope i can trust you
    with these payments, as the payment would be made out in
    excess, so all you have to do is Deposit and cash the
    payment at your bank, deduct your tutorial service fee,
    which should be $50 per hour X 12 Times a Month = $600 i
    would include an additional $100 for run around fee and any
    additional text book you might be needing- so $700 is what
    you deduct from the check you receive , whatever the
    remaining balance is after deduction of the $700 go ahead
    and deduct Money Gram or Western union transfer sending
    charges for sending out the remainder to the Nanny who
    would be contacting you with further arrangements and
    instructions regarding pickup/drop off of my Daughter to
    the library where you would always teach her. So I hope I
    can trust you that you will teach my Daughter good
    academics and some moral respects so that they can be good
    to their self in the future, I hope I can count on you for
    the tutorial and the money to be sent to the Nanny. I look
    forward to read a detailed message from you containing the
    following information, if you are OK with my arrangements.
    Full Name.
    Mailing Address including Zip Codes ( no PO Box pls ).
    Cell No ( If Available ).
    Home No.
    Gender.
    Best Time to Call.
    Email..
    N.B. My Daughter Name is Christine Adam (17), She is
    actually coming to the US for sight seeing, but while she
    is here I want her to study at the same time,she understand
    English, can write and read fluently I just need her
    English Upgraded.
    Thanks for your Understanding.
    Adam
