How does this scam work? I just got this e-mail today.

Hello,
I got your contact displayed on a website while searching for an instructor for my 16yrs old son.My son will be vacationing in the USA for 3 month
starting from May 2009,so therefore I want to secure your services in giving my son some sporting instructions during is stay there.
I will like to know your pricing and schedule as regards the lesson?
waiting your response.

Regards
Scott

I just got my last teen out of the house, last week. I am an empty nester. I am not accepting anymore teens. :mrgreen:

I used to get these scams all of the time, but I don't know how money would exchange hands. Maybe I should google it and see if I find anything.

Is dad trying to show his boy the way of the world? Does he not know the statutory laws in the US?

After a rather interesting week when my 2nd oldest DD, redhead, was about 15 ... on the sign in front of our business we advertised "TEENAGER FOR SALE" ... we had no takers ... but, we never thought of using the internet ........
