Tutor scam in Bakersfield

Craigslist scam targets teachers:
Another variation of the wire fraud scam comes to us today from Bakersfield, California that is targeting teachers.

An ad is placed from out of state asking for tutoring help for a child saying that child will be in town for a few days and in this case offering $400. When the teacher or whomever replies to the add is sent a $1500 check and asked to wire back $1100.

Big ‘ol red flag right there.

Never wire anything. Local only and cash only if at all.
