This person emailed me about paying for our tutoring services for her daughter. I believed it was completely legit, until a check made out to me rather than to the business showed up via DHL. The same day, another email showed up:
I am delighted to inform you that the payment for the tutorial of my daughter has been sent to you via one of my client who owed me some amount which is $2, 500.00. Now immediately you get the check you will send $1, 500 to nanny via MONEY GRAM TRANSFER. This happens because the nanny is a deaf he may not know how to process this. So send $1, 500 via money gram transfer for the necessary things they need to do before she comes over for the tutorial and as soon as you send the money she will come and keep the rest of the money with you when she comes to your location she will have it. Also deduct $50 for your running around expenses plus your money for the tutorial.
Here is the nanny information to send the money to:
Name... NATHANIEL DOUGLAS
Add... 12229 Glenfield Av.
City... Detroit
State... Michigan
Zip code... 48219
He is deaf, so his e-mail is "[email protected]" so that you can contact him on how to go about it.
And as soon as you get the money sent to the nanny, get back to me with the money gram information such as:
REFERENCE NUMBER ON THE RECEIPT & 8 digits number so that I can forward it to him ACTUAL AMOUNT SENT after the deduction of money gram charges SENDER'S NAME AND ADDRESS
You can as well contact him via his e-mail address to give him the necessary information to get the money at his location.
Thanks and awaiting your urgent response as soon as possible.
Regards,
Kayy
I tried to contact local police and they said there was nothing that could be done. The next day, this email came:
IT'S QUIET A LONG TIME A HEAR FROM YOU. HOPE THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I WANT YOU TO GET BACK TO ME TODAY WITH THE REFERENCE NUMBER OF THE MONEY SENT TO THE NANNY OR ELSE I WILL TAKE A LEGAL ACTION AGAINST YOU. YOU WILL BE REPORTED TO NEAREST FBI DEPARTMENT IN YOUR LOCATION TO INTERVENE TO THE MATTER.
Something has to be done about all of this. I can't believe they are now trying to do this to businesses.
