Letter from Dubai. hmmmmm!
Permalink  

Hylda runs a little home tutoring school for students after school and we have a Google presence with a web site  ahelpinghandtutoring.com.au  and also in the phone book online. It seems Hylda is a getting world wide interest for her advanced teaching methods as this email we received from, I'm sure, a completely legitimate interested party living in Dubai: evileye.gif

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,

I hope this mail meets you well, I am mailing in request to place an order from your site and which I want to know if it is possible for you to ship orders to Dubai . If shipment is possible to Dubai, kindly get back to me and then I will send you a list of Items needed to be shipped including Delivery address. Also I want you to know that I will be referring you to a shipper who handles my shipment. this is simply because I have experienced several loss in the past with other shippers and couriers, and will not want that to repeat itself. And once I receive the quote for the order and the shipment then I will commence on the payment, providing you my Master card information. Kindly get back to me if this is acceptable .

Best regards

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We were wondering if we should send a a box or 2 of DVD's of Hylda tutoring  and, of course, what we should charge for them. You never know, this could be the start of something big.

Cheers

Jon

ps: if you are with Facebook it would be nice if you visited our website and clicked the 'like' button, the more likes it gets the better for business. smile.gif

Doesn't seem like a normal scam to me. If it were me, I'd at least follow it up. Could actually be something good.

I'm afraid I go along with dazren here.  Sounds very much to me, like they'll give you a shopping list, which will include things not listed on your site.  You'll pay for the extra goods and all shipping costs, and then be out of pocket for same, with no recourse for re-imbursment.  Assuming you fall for it that is. 

Let's face it.  Why wouldn't you be able to ship anything to Dubai, or anywhere else in the world in this day and age. 

Maybe I'm just too suspicious.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Found, liked and shared your fb page, but surprised theres no photos Jon! A talented man with a camera could post a pic or 2 without showing any kids heads?

 Thanks Rosey, I thought about pics but not sure if hylda wanted her mug on the site & I wasn't sure what others pics would be suitable.

Maybe this one of the bus taken at the Forbes car museum?

Or this one taken of Hylda and a dummy (no, it wasn't me) in the old school museum at Kangaroo Valley?

 Also it seems strange that they said they will provide their Mastercard details when their the ones that would have to pay.

You would think the scam might have involved me providing my bank details but, not the case.....so far.
