  Spam & Phishing Email Warning (All Teachers)

  Posted by Phil Schneider on June 24, 2024 at 10:56 am

  I was conatacted by someone with two adult children wanting tuition the final message was this

  I can only make the payment through my credit card at the moment. Oh and the private driver will be holding us down, he was unable to set up a merchant account and I want my kids to get their training started as soon as possible. I’d be glad if you could help me coordinate his payment of £1500, I don’t mind adding an extra £100 as tip. So I’ll be making a deposit of £1660 into your account. £60 for the job, £100 as tip, and £1500 for the driver. I’d really love it if you can send the money to the driver as soon as you get it, he will bring the kids to you just as soon as he gets it. Let me know when you are ready so I can send you my card details.

  the person may be making their way through music teachers any one had similar ?
