Scammers.

I posted an ad on Craigslist for my services as a Spanish tutor. Trying to get some sort of income going, and all I get back is a response from a damn scammer. How do I know it's a scammer? We sent a couple emails back and forth. See for yourself:

Scammer: Hello...Are you available to teach my son a lesson under your service..email me
back with your charges..

Me: Hola! I am still available to tutor Spanish. Tell me more about your son. How old is he? What is his level of Spanish? Is he taking Spanish in school? Does he have curriculum to follow? Where are you located in the Seattle area? I charge $30/hr. If needed, I am willing to compromise on this. Gracias!

Scammer: Hello, Thanks for getting back to me and everything sound good to me, Am Mrs Clark  by name, my son is coming  for an holiday in your (CITY), His name is Micheal and is 16 years old .I want him to be busy in the time of the day,because am in Spain for business trip i will be back

I will NOT be responding to this last thread. She didn't answer my questions about her son's "level."What is this in 'your (CITY)' thing?....Who would have a nanny drop off their kid with a stranger?

F*!& no will I be giving you my address! And, whoever this is needs to be searching for English tutors instead of Spanish ones.
