These are the details for the scam scheme of a scam artist: Frank Edwards

I replied to a Craiglist post for an English tutor, and this is the response I received: Hello Am Frank an international model from Spain, my 16 yrs old Step-daughter will be coming for a vacation in the U.S, and I want her to be busy throughout because she is a lil bit playful. Therefore, I just want to know maybe she can always come to you and be her English tutor so she can learn from you. If possible, please get back to me with the cost of your teaching for the month, I mean for the whole Month, excluding Sat and Sun. She will be coming to your home or meet in the City Library for 2 hours each day, I have scheduled a CHAUFFEUR that will always drive her down to your place. My step-daughter's name is Venus Simpson; I want to know the total amount for an hour each for the total month.
So that I can arrange for the payments. If it’s going to work, kindly get back to me with the total amount for the month and your mailing address, I will be waiting to see your mail soon, bye for now.
Regards,
Frank Edwards
Note: The bad spelling and grammar bothered me, especially since the original post was very nicely written. His claim to be a model also bothered me (why, of all places, would a Spanish model send his step-daughter to the small city I live in?) Also, why is he willing to hire a "CHAUFFEUR" rather than have me drive to the location, the "City Library, " and which library anyway - there are at least a half-dozen different branches! In addition, like an idiot, I sent my resume as an attachment - so he has my mailing address and has no need to ask for it, unless he doesn't know how to open attachments (I hope). This also suggests that I am dealing with a complete fraud. I marked the original post as spam on Craigslist and have no intent to reply to the email. A Google search turns up no hits on the name or email, so this must be a new identity. I hope others who are suspicious read this and don't fall for this old scam.
