Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Has anyone else gotten any messages like the one I've copied here? I got two first thing this morning, exactly the same wording and proposals but with different names and return e mail address. I replied quite legitimately and now they have both responded, identically, offering me a check for $120. They have not yet asked for my bank account number and I don't intend to give it out since it sounds like a scam. Here's the message: >Hi, > I need a good and trusted teacher who can take my two kids > Anthony & Loretta Benson on yoga,they will be visiting the states > soon,i will want during there stay in the states to have some > thing that they can benefit from,therefor i will need your > ! service during there period of stay,moreso,i will like to know > your qulification in this field and if you are good enough to take > them for the lessons,also your charges per hour,they will be taken > lessons three time a week for 2hours, totalling 8months of > lesson,inform me of your cost per hour,then we can proceed. >Look foward hearing from you soonest. >Mr Benson.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 If it looks like a scam, if it feels like a scam, if it smells like a scam, then it is a scam. Best not to reply to these people at all. Sat Nam!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Thanks for passing this on Karta Purkh. It does sound like a scam. Awtar S.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Anyone who receives these messages, please forward them to me OFF LIST. I especially need the email address of the originator. If you know how to send message headers too then please do so. Sat Nam!
