Jun 25, 2008

I saw an ad on C...list from a parent in France looking for a tutor for his French daughter coming to the US for 3 weeks. He wanted a tutor for 2 hours, 2 times a week for 3 weeks for English.

So I emailed him asking what times and days she wanted tutoring. Something was a little off but I didn't really get it that it was a scam until I go...See MoreI saw an ad on C...list from a parent in France looking for a tutor for his French daughter coming to the US for 3 weeks. He wanted a tutor for 2 hours, 2 times a week for 3 weeks for English.

So I emailed him asking what times and days she wanted tutoring. Something was a little off but I didn't really get it that it was a scam until I got this last email from him. I googled tutor scams and found out there is a whole scam that involves a foreigner sending you too much money to tutor their child and then wanting you to wire the difference to them. Of course, their check is fake and you lose thousands of dollars.

Here is "Joel Fink's" email. He is a fink,huh?! I thought that was a strange name for a French person.

hello, How are you doing?I am so sorry for the late in response to my email.I will like you to know that i am so much very interested since she will be arriving anytime this week but i will like you to know soemthings before i accept it that you are going to tutor her.Like you have known that we are from france and tammy will be coming to USA alone.I think i will like to figure things out before she leave.concerning the payment for your service i have a problem with it but i think it something you can do for me if you wish to assist me like i have said i only email you concerning this tutor and i will do appreciate it if you accept my plight with this process..Well since you said hyou can easily get a place for her i think once you recieve the payment you can easily deduct the rent fee from it then...

The client of mine that will be sending the payment to you stated that he sent the total amount that he owes me on the cashiers check which is $4000,well i felt so sad when i heard this and he said the reason why he did this was that he wanted to issue out the check ar once because he will be leaving for a trip and he does not know when he will have access to check his email,but there us nothing for you to be worried about all have to do is just to receive the payment and deposit it and once it clears i will give you the info where to send the excess to after you deduct the $350 which will be for your service for tutoring Tammy..I will like you to help me out since you are doing accepting payment for your service and he can easily issue it on your name......it will waste alot of time if he send it to me and due to the currency barrier and even the distance, it will take 1 month for US check to clear which i know it will not take more than 2 hrs to clear there in USA since its a cashiers check if not instantly..

So if you are ok with this email kindly email me the info below so as to send it to him and mail out the check to you today and let you know when it will deliver..

here is the info needed

The name on the check Your home address Your cell phone number..

Hope to hear from you soon
