I put an add on Craigslist for summer tutoring/writing help and within 20 mins had an email asking for my monthly pricing. Ummm....my hourly pricing is in the ad. So I email this person back just in case they are not the sharpest and for some reason missed the pricing. and this is their reply.. My son is 17 years old I could have love to meet you in person before starting the lesson but i have just been transfer from work to Spain that is the more reason why i will not bee able to meet you and my son will come down to your location for the lesson because i have already make arrangement with a nanny that will be taking care of him for his period of tutoring I have make contacts with my son concerning the arrangement of the tutoring which he told me he's ok with him and i want you to know that i am going to pay for 1 month and i will be paying through a cashier check or a Bank Transfer .i want you to know that the rest of the money will be used to get accommodation and other arrangement for the lesson All you have to do is to get back to me with your full name and contact address.OR let me know the bank you are banking with so that my son can start the lesson asap..so let me know you bank with wellsfargo bank so that i transfer the money into you wellsfargo bank account ... Get back to me with this below.. Name on the account Account number Rounting number Phone number... Uhh ok I'll get right on sending you my bank account info It actually makes me sad that someone somewhere will fall for this.

With my resume on Monster, Career Builder, et al., I got a couple of emails of a "job offer" in which all I had to do was deposit international funds in my personal account and then turn around and send them the funds, minus my "commission". Yeah, I'm falling for that, scum. Talk about preying on the weak!

Scammers! Aurgh! The bane of my existance! Seriously, I feel your pain. There must be some dollar value/word that triggers the scammers. I've had a saddle posted for sale online (older saddle, not that expensive) for months. I posted a new ad on Craig's List and reworded it a bit-- and within 10 minutes had 6 emails from scammer. I just want to sell the durn thing, I don't need my email bombed! :lol: |
