INTERNET SCAM FACT SHEET
Craigslist Tutor Scam

I am a tutor for students in South Jersey/Philadelphia area. I placed an ad on Craigslist and received several inquires in which an interested dad wants me to tutor their child. Child is flying in from another country and a Nanny will be watching child while I tutor during his break from school. He sent me a check (I have copies of everything) for $1,370. Once 4 days have passed and check has cleared my bank, he asked me to wire a portion of the funds to Nanny so Nanny could get child here for tutoring. I double checked with bank to make sure funds were good. I figured since money was in my account, and it's not my money, I would go ahead and wire money using Western Union to Nanny. Names and addresses were supplied. Two days after I wired money, the original check that I deposited bounced. The funds were NOT good. But I already wired money to him!!! Two transactions were executed, one for $1,000 and one for $200, plus fees to use Western Union, total out $1,300. I then noticed I had 4 other email with a similar story. I played along and they also sent me checks which I obviously knew were fraudulent. I went to Gloucester Township Police Department to file a complaint. I have copies of all documents and correspondence. I also received phone calls from individual who was of Arab decent, number was “restricted.” He stated he was using a calling card.

Case #11-41302, Detective William Westphal #111, Criminal Investigation Unit - Detective Division Chews Landing / Clementon Road P.O. Box 8 Blackwood, NJ 08012 856-228-4500 or 856-374-5704 (or fax 856-374-5719). I also reported fraud to Western Union Fraud Dept. (800-448-1492) and Sun National Bank (Glendora, NJ). I had a meeting with Detective Westphal on 11/10 at 10:50am regarding this case and I supplied him with everything I had. We also exchanged emails... Wwestphal@gtpolice.com.
