haha! That's a total scam. I got some shit like that after posting an ad offering math tutoring.
If you keep communicating with them they will start asking you to do weird shit with money. I'm pretty sure it's money laundering...

Reverend Tommy Tossi is a definite SCAM
I received an identical email for drum lessons that i posted an ad for on craigslist.
If you encounter this fucking prick, don't fall for it.... YES, it sounds legit, thats why he's a scammer. he's going to ask you to cash a ridiculous check and deduct your costs for lessons and wire the rest of the money to a cab company... The check has no money to back it up, and when you cash it, iit's coming out of your bank account... there is no fucking cab company... He is the cab company, and by the time you wire that money, you'll find out that the check wasn't backed up and that money came straight from your bank account....
It's completely fucked
report him to the FBI if you get the chance. he deserves to be ass-raped daily

Also adding semi-relevance :-) I posted an ad on Craigslist, not for any lessons but for dog walking services in NJ...I received an email from someone that was clearly not fluent in American English so I searched the name & email on Facebook (usually my 1st stop to get a picture of who I may be dealing with) but nothing...did a yahoo search for "Rev Tossi" and found this forum so I 'd like to add...the email I received (and will not be responding to) was:
Quote:
I'm Rev Tossi,i will need a dog sitter/walker service for my Skippy of 2yrs.I will need the service for a month,excluding Sunday that i will stay,the service duration would be an 2hour of each day that i will not be with him.The time of the service 11am to 1noon.So get back with your quote for me to see if OK by me to proceed with deposit to reserve the spot.God bless YOU.
Rev. Tossi
I realllllly hope he hasn't found a sucker yet!

I received the same dog walking email and a 4000 dollar check from fedex, from a legitimate company and legitimate bank. I find it difficult to believe he has 2 dogs named Skippy in NJ and NM. And I called every cab company in town they don't transport pets. The "rev" number and degrees and company he's working for changes with every post
