My gut feeling was correct on the first message I got from them. Poor english and no mention of what type of tutoring he needed for his daughter.
"Can you tutor my daughter (Juliet) on your field ? i will like you to
get back to me asap.....THANKS"
Then in the next email asks how much an hour, which is clearly posted on my add. I don't teach in my home. I go to my clients home. A 10 year old sent to my home. I dont think so. A child this young I would require a parent on hand at all times.

I got the same messages as everybody else on here. Name was John Robertoc and it seemed really scetch. I googled his london address and it is the office to a self storage facility. McDonalds? Right... Anyways, replied and sent a nasty message telling them to 'piss-off' and do not contact me ever again for anything. Stupid people...wasting my time with this junk.
