It is very strange that my name was not mentioned, and how does the guy know he is nearby if he does not know my address. I do work for an online tutoring company, but I have not posted any ads for private tutoring. And why is there no mention of the fact that what I tutor is math. Something is very fishy, but I can’t figure out what it is.
