I DO list on Craigslist for voice lessons, but not for the email to which this was sent. These emails that are in incorrect English & request this type of service (without prior contact through another student), I traditionally just junk these messages without any action. This one, because of the phone number listing, made me check out the number - thus my finding this site. Defintitely a scam & labeled SPAM by my service provider, but still delivered to my gmail inbox.
