Essentially someone reached out to me through a tutoring site and wanted to take the conversation to text/e-mail. This person sends me an e-mail that looks like this:
Thank you for the email. I need your service privately i dont want to deal within wyzant .I want my daughter (Patricia) for the tutorial.She is of 18 yrs and friendly , she is gentle and beautiful and ready to learn and i want you to teach her [STATISTICS], she lives with her father in Philippine and i want her to come to the states and spend her holiday with me so that she can learn more about [STATISTICS] very well as that is where she needs extra tutoring because i do not want her to be behind her mates. i hope you will be able to take care of her and tutor her well ,I have made contacts with my husband and Daughter concerning the arrangements of the tutoring and it's okay by them.
You will be teaching her 3 times in a week , 2 hours a day which will be 6 hours a week, I intend to commit you by paying you for the first week of your service before the arrival to secure the date so I can be absolutely sure of having your care for Patricia, to enable things go perfectly without disappointment. [ 3 times in a week , 2 hours a day What is the total cost for a week ? ] I want you to know that she will arrive in the states by March 29th. So i want you to tell me the days you will be available during the week also the time , i will know your full schedule for the 6 hours in a week okay , also let me know the best library around you that will be comfortable to meet you, so that i can contact the caregiver that i have employed to cater for her and watch after her and the caregiver can be bring her there, i want her to study more about what she needs to know while she is in the states and she speaks a little bit of English but not too perfect....smiles.... so you will be patient to explain and teach her. We lived in [ California ] for 5 years and i gave birth to her before my husband took her along to Philippine ,so i believe she can speak a little bit . About the time you will be teaching her, i don't know if weekends will be convenient for you , FRI , SAT, AND SUN ? Just asking any way , if its okay by you , Then you can email me back with time schedule for the 3 days, remember 2 hours a day. ( BUT SHE WILL BE IN THE STATES FOR 2 MONTHS WHICH I WILL BE SENDING YOU YOUR PAYMENT WEEKLY)
Plz check your email address time to time for more update thanks and God bless you .
Regard ,
Mrs Ashley
I talked for a bit to get more information on the person (as I am a citizen investigator as much as the next guy). I tried to get a social media profile, to which they didn't supply, and a phone/skype call to meet them. Their excuse was hard of hearing. I then said sorry this will not work out, as I did not know where else to take it.
I tried to get as much information as possible. Happy to supply texts and what not to interested people.

Edit: Seems to be a common Craigslist money scam. Sorry to be trigger happy.
