Is nothing sacred anymore? The only problem is that this on was responded with MY friend's e-mail. One cannot even trust trying to help someone else out!!!  Please read and think about it. It could happen to you, and yes, this is copied from the original with only personal info removed.

Hello,
Thanks so much for your mail and i want you to know that he is 17yrs of age.So am okay with the time schedule and it will be good for My Son to take part but the situation is that i am out of state now and i want him to take part because i want the best for him,i want him to start the lesson from early next month,so he will arrive to the state next month and he will be brought down to the state by my girl freind which he will be staying with her.I calculated everything and i got $450.Iwill issue the check of ($2,000).so when you receive it,you will deduct the cost of the lesson for one month and the remaining fund will be sent over to my insurance travel agency through western union money transfer so they can make arrangements for the trip to your location immediately.I Will Like to know if you can do me this favour and i will compensate you nicely.Get back to me with name that will be written on check and the address were it will be sent to.I am completing a project in germany so i did rome my phone number so it can work anywhere so you can call me anytime,i want the best for my son so i take good care of him,this is the reason why am giving him all support i can,since his mother died some years back so he needs to be taken care of.Moreso, i should have payed through cash but the project owner will not allow us to bring cash along with us cos everything we needed is taken care by them.So i will be morethan happy if you help me with this situation.Thanks and God Bless You.

What level of math is your son on?
Best wishes,

Age is a very high price to pay for my maturity. If I can't stay young, I can at least stay immature!

| OK. There is not enough background or detail for me to understand, but I see the scam of sending money through Western Union right away. So what is there to learn? Who is traveling to get lessons for a month at 1 hour per day is already fishy enough.

| Apparently, someone was looking for a math tutor. That is what this person who replied to the scam does. It, of course, turned out to be not someone looking for a tutor for his son, but money instead. It reminded me of an Americanized Nigerian ploy. | |
