I found the following on the KenpoNet. Be aware of this scam.

Fellow Martial Artists,

At the beginning of this year, I received an e-mail from someone stating they were from the U.K. and wanted to enroll their son in karate/ kung fu lessons for an entire two month period. They wanted you to contact them back with a total price and then they will send a check to you for the amount.

Well I never contact them back, but low and behold about two weeks later a check arrived in the mail from a strange address for a few thousand dollars. You know what they say "If it looks to good to be true, it probably is!"

Needless to say, the check was a fraudulent check. I turned it into a Pittsburgh detective and they confirmed my suspicions.

I bring this up now because just a few minutes ago I received another e-mail with the same scam and it was sent to a large list of e-mail addresses seeming to belong to many other martial artists.

Please be very cautious! If you have any questions, please contact me at (412) 621-5425.

PS: I attached the e-mail I received below my signature.

Respectfully,
Joshua Ryer

Hello,
I am Scott Benson, an Enginner from UK. My son (James) 15 yrs old, is coming to your area for 2 months holiday and I want him to use the opportunity to learn more in your lesson, so that will keep his time instead of being idle. I will like to have the cost for the 2 months lesson now. I have a business associate in USA that is ready to take care of the whole expenses needed in the trip. So kindly get back to me now with the quote for the 2 months lesson (2 lessons a week and 1hr per lesson). I will be waiting to have the quote along with the below information form you so that I will forward it to the payer immediately.

Complete Name:
Complete Address:
Cell Phone Number:

Regards.
Scott Benson
