Hello
How are you doing today? This is Sean Canfield. I saw your contact at the Mount Holyoke College, Department of Classics and Italian under the directory's portal. I seek a private beginning Italian tutor for my daughter. I would like to know if you would be available for tutoring. Tutoring could be in-person OR online (Zoom).
If you will be unable to tutor her, please kindly recommend a colleague or student who is capable and available for tutoring.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Sean
Why do we think this is a scam?
Mount Holyoke community members have received similar messages in the past that appear at first to be legitimate requests for tutoring. However, upon engagement with the sender, it becomes clear that they're trying to ensnare you in a check scam.
Because of this, we usually recommend treating unsolicited messages like this as entry points to scams.
