Fwd: RE: [Harp-L] WANTED: Teacher in Philadelphia DC -SPAM!!!

["Winslow Yerxa" <winslowyerxa@xxxxxxxxx>]

I likewise have received many suspicious direct inquiries in the last 
six or eight months and I always ignore them. I should say that there 
are a number of lesson lead services that are legitimate, and I'm not 
talking about them.

Common elements in the suspicious queries:

1) A direct query from an unkown individual on behalf of a third 
party who is the prospective student.

2) The prospective student is a minor.

3) they must travel from another country.

4) the writer is usually extremely vague about the subject of 
learning - a phrase like "your product or service" is pretty close to 
how they usually term it.

What I haven't figured out is what they hope to gain. Maybe they want 
to dump an illegal immigrant into your household through some process 
of having trouble finding accomodation for the child at the last 
minute? I really don't know.

I actually did respond to the first one, but got suspicious right 
away. When the second one showed up - same subject, different sender -
I knew that these were best ignored.

I believe that this is SPAM--
I got this exact same email and similar ones (with the same 
bad/broken 
English) quite often.
I beleive that I get them because of a few web listings for my 
teaching 
services.
IGNORE, DELETE, PLAY MUSIC!
