[Trombone-l] Scam tutoring email

[Erik Tkal]

I received the following in my email, it seems blatantly a scam, though 
it's very personalized, indicating small target audience.  I suspect 
that if I were to follow up that they would attempt to coerce me into 
receiving a larger payment for services with the agreement that I would 
refund by check the difference, whereas their payment would turn out to 
be fraudulent.  Is there a good reporting mechanism for these?

Dear Erik,

I am pleased to contact you, my name is Perry Kogan from Belgium.I saw 
your Biography as a Trombone Teacher (trombonist), hence, my purpose of 
contacting you.

I just mail to confirm if my 14yrs old son (Paul) can join you in your 
tutor so that you can help me teach him how to play Trombone. I so much 
would love his dreams to come true as a very good player and I am ready 
to support him both morally and financially.

I will want you to give me the price of the tutor for 6 months as I will 
want the tutor to hold 3 times in a week and last for 1 hour daily. Note 
that my son once had a tutor last October who lost his wife in a car 
accident and decided to stop teaching inorder to take proper care of his 
family.

Additionally, I would like to know the location (address) where you 
normally tutor your students, so that I can have idea of where the 
lessons will be taking place as we are presently out of US,but 
arrangement have been concluded for Paul to come to US.

Awaiting your swift response

Best Regards

Perry Kogan
