Beware of Craigslist Posts

Jul 28, 2006 15:50

Ok so I posted an ad to Craigslist and I should have known better. I posted an ad for an english lit tutor. I mean the ad is totally all about a tutor and what I can tutor in english and whatnot. Anway I got a reply today with just a number to call. So I blocked my cell and called. I got this freak of a young sounding kid telling me it was for his cousin but he was not available at the moment. Then he started asking me all sorts of wierd ?s like what's my race and how tall am I? I told his butt off, and he said I was rude. Yeah, whatever and? I told him those ?s had nothing to do with my tutoring abilities and if his "cousin" really wanted tutoring, to email me and I would get back to him, not his cousin. He said if I didn't tell him what my height was, he wasn't going to give his cousin the message. So I said fine and he hung up. I emailed him via the email I had, but I doubt it was real at all. In the email I said it wasn't a dating ad, but a tutoring ad, and if he really wanted tutoring get in touch otherwise, whatever. I told frank and if it turns out this guy says he really wants to be tutored, I'm taking someone with me, namely frank as I have no one else here.

I know I should have known better, I really should have.
