HappyTutors.com Please be careful and aware of a scam targeting tutors currently on the Internet.

Generally, the scams work like this: Someone who claims to be from overseas sends an email to the tutor, claiming he wants to find a tutor for his son/daughter/nephew who will be visiting your country. He sends several emails to build up trust. He may ask for the tutor's phone number and mailing address. He then sends a cashier's check for an amount that significantly exceeds the agreed-upon tutoring fee. He asks the tutor to deposit the cashier's check, and once it clears the tutor's bank, to send a check for the excess back to him. The cashiers' check is counterfeit. Weeks later the check will be discovered to be fake, but by then, the tutor has already sent a large amount of real money to the scammer.

This scam is called Check Overpayment Scam or Counterfeit Cashier's Check. For more information,For more information, please visit www.blog.happytutors.com.
