Complaint Review: Rodney Walcott

Individual posted a request on Craigslist for a tutor asking for a resume for consideration. I suspected fraudulent activity when I attempted to locate this establishment. I also researched the company including its website. Home School Tutoring is a legitimate business, but this business was located at a different address than what was posted. i then searched for reviews and saw a report on ripoffreport.com containing a fraudulent request using the same physical address. This moron even used the same employee reference number as the others (how lazy can you be). Anyway this idiot is exposed and proves to be very uninspiring. Instead of potentially offering academic help to desiring students, I am writing this article. I hope I dont know this person. Below is the contents of the sent emails...

Note: I never sent my home address information, nor my home telephone number, not even on the resume I sent.

Rodney,
It's a pleasure to meet you. I appreciate your consideration. To answer your question of availability, I monitor my email all day long and can send responses whenever necessary. My job involves working with computers so when an email is received, I see it that moment. My degree is in Nuclear Technology, so most of the basic math subjects I feel comfortable tutoring (Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and Calculus) and your high school equivalent physics and chemistry classes. Anything under the classes mentioned are also ok for offering. I look forward to working with your group.

Thanks
