Dear Teacher,
I am Frederek Sigvard from stockholm, Sweden and work as an Engineer at Chevron Oil Lagos, Nigeria. My wife and Kids recently joined me in Nigeria; she is Swedish and can't speak English. I am seriously seeking for the services of an English Teacher.
I have reviewed you resume online and would like to know if you would be able to come and teach my wife and four kids Ludvig, Helmer, Synnove and Arvid English most importantly is my wife; She would be attending an interview at a bank here in Nigeria soon. I want to know if you can come by July 2008 to teach my family English.
I am willing to offer you US$6,500 per month with health insurance and return ticket. I have a twin duplex which I and my family occupy one of them at the moment, and if you accept this offer, you would be staying in the second Duplex. I will pay for your airfare cost if you accept the offer.
Regards
Fred (+234 807 287 3226) |
Funny I don't remember posting my resume on-line  |

Hey, I gave him my credit card details and he said he was going to wire the money to me for my ticket. It's been two months and no money along with no answer, and oddly, my credit card's been maxed out.
Put out, I am!

I got the same thing. He sent a picture of his family and the whole thing. I called him on SKYPE today and some African guy answered the phone. Totally fishy deal. Great money for the job. Mr Celestine at the travel agency wants a photo of my passport along a photo and a copy of Fred's employment contract.
What's the scam? |
