Should I Move to Manchester, England?
Oct 29, 2016 11:25:21 #
I just got an email from someone in Russia who will be moving to England. For some reason, they think I am a teacher of English as a Second Language (ESL). Also surprising, they want an American to teach his family - living in England - how to speak English. If I decide to move there, they will pay me $6,000 a month. Sounds pretty good. If they send me a first class plane ticket, I might be interested. 
Hello Teacher,
I got to know that you are an ESL teacher on an ESL teaching job site
and i decided to contact you to know if you will be able to come to
Manchester England to tutor my family We are Moscow Russia living in
England.I will need a teacher who will come to Manchester and tutor my
family for a period of 1 and half years.
I will give you accommodation and also will pay you monthly of
US$6,000 which is US$2,000/child monthly.
Though i have seen your brief CV but i will like you to send me your
updated CV,picture and also your availability date.
Cheers
Mr Emeka Omire

Judging by the guy's name, I suspect it is a Nigerian 419 scam.
This would be followed by "Send me your bank details so I can forward the first month's salary".

Play along, drag it out and have some fun. See how far you can string them along. There are actually people dedicated to scamming the scammers. Yeah, I've had my fair share of Nigerian emails and I promptly mark them as phishing scams. I actually knew one idiot who fell for such a scam, he sent in several payments in hopes of collecting a promised big payout. HaaHahahahaha.

Send me your email address, and you can do that.
There was an online article about a guy who did that. He played along with the scammer and kept asking questions and stating his requirements till the scammer gave up.

Jerry, if you don't wish to take this offer. I might be interested, as I speak English as a Second Language, thus experience. I also speak some Russian. So, this could work.
