WATCH out for scammers on Craigslist and other sites:
I responded to an ad for a tutor that pays $50 dollars an
hour (already too good to be true) and got this reply:

How you doing ? I received your email now for the tutor I want for my daughter. Let me start with telling you a little about my the nature of the job. You are going to be tutoring my daughter and she is a 7th grader. She is 12 years of age, her name is Sarah. I hope you would be able to cope with her as she is a very playful girl. If yes ,I would like us to proceed with this .I would be paying you $50.00/ hr and you would be taking her 2 times a week. In which each day you would be taking her for 2hrs.So get back to me with the total fee for the subject which is Maths and English Language because I intend paying you altogether for 4 weeks ..I will like to have her tutored in a quite place probably in a library if there is any around you. I do think it is a good idea to meet at a library, it is a quiet atmosphere and has many academic resources should we need to look something up, plus in my experience it is good to get the student out of their house to put them in a focused productive mood and so that distractions won't present themselves... I would like you to draw a schedule when you would be available to teach her in a week and also I would like to know the subjects you would lecture her on each day ( I guess it should be 2 per day.. right ? ).
I would like to make this clear to you, we don't live in the States ,my daughter is coming to the states and i intend to put her in care of a nanny which i will get in dew time. I don't want her to play all along that's the reason I am employing you. She would be coming down in 3 weeks time. I also belief a check is good as a mode of payment.... Get back to me if all stated above is ok with you so that we may proceed from there...

Regards
Josh
