Really....uh, weird.

So in trying to find ways to advertise for our music classes, I posted an advertisement on craigslist.com. I got THE strangest email EVER in response to it. Read on...


"Good day to you over there, I need a Music tutor for my son (Smith), i got your advert while surfing through the internet and i really want my child to be taught by you.Smith is 13 year old and easily catch up.Although,i understand you are in (US) but i've arranged with my cousin sister living there that my son is coming to stay with her for his period of tutoring and she had agreed with me,i was base in France. 1.CHARGE FOR AN HOUR.... 2. TOTAL CHARGES FOR 1 MONTH THAT HE WILL BE TAUGHT 3 TIMES PER WEEK..3. FULL NAME 4. HOME ADDRESS 5. YOUR PHONE NUMBER... And mode of my payment will be by Check."

So just to see if he was legit or not, I sent an email back. I didn't give him any of my information (I'm not that stupid) and I asked him some questions to specify what he wanted. It's been several days and I haven't heard back from him. So I'm guessing he wasn't for real. Kinda creepy, huh?

Yeah, total scammer. I wouldn't have even emailed him back!

By the way, i like the look of the blog now. And who knew so many people had blogs out there? Fun! (though I was confused when I clicked on the Adams family and it wasn't Suzy's!)
