Tips from the tutor scam

Tutor targeted by scammers after posting ad on Craigslist:

Just another article about the tutor scam. This time it’s out of St. Peters, Missouri but I wanted to highlight two things mentioned in the article.

First, let’s hear from a U.S. Postal Inspector…

“There’s just no legitimate reason why someone should send you a check or money order for more than the amount request,”

The second one is from the tutor himself…

“The majority of the contacts I got of Craigslist were similar to this, as opposed to the ones I would call legitimate,”

Consider both of those things before doing business on craigslist.
