I been receiving the same email from different people. It seem that its also one of those Nigerian scams where the sender actually try to get your bank details in order to commit fraud. This time it seems they are targeting Martial Arts Schools. Take a look at this :

Hello,
I’m Johnson mark and i came across your advert as a Martial Instructor. I will like to confirm if my 16years old son can join you in your class,as i will like you to give me your phone number for easy communications and more information abour Martial art. My son love the art so much, that he can wait to have a tutor. I will like you to train him self defence
Note that i will rent an apartment for my son very close to you where he will be meeting you for the lessons.
Also, kindly tell me the specific one you teach in the art. All this preferably: Kickboxing, Karate; Tae Kwon Do; Judo; Kung Fu; Hapkido.
After he plays you a bit, he will offer to wire you the lesson fee’s. He needs account info to do that. Instead of wireing money INTO your account, he will drain it.
I;'ve gotten into the habit of responding the the Nigerian princes by telling them I run a wire transfer company and that if they give me THEIR info, I’ll take care of it for them… they disappear quickly
G get in my moods where I string them along as absolutely as long as I can wihtout giving them anyhting but wasted time…because I am just a jerk like that!

Don’t banks check I.D. or anything? I mean, I’ve wired $ to people’s business accounts before because it was quicker than sending a check or something.
Can you really drain an account just with the account#?

Yeah…but you could consider yourself a hero. The more time they spend messing with you, the less time they have to mess w/ someone who doesn’t know any better.
I just played with two this morning, amazing how dim they are… I told one guy “what happened with the package you promised to send me?” (and this was his first email to me)… he apologized and sent me a tracking number… I told him it was the wrong number and if he didn’t start getting it together I was going to work with his business rival, so he apologized
i used to get emails from some sort of ma supply company in iran or someplace like that.
now i keep getting the same two bogus ebay emails every other day from some guy saying he doesn’t understand why i haven’t sent the product since he sent me the money. the other email is a slightly different worded one but about the same product…which I actually went to ebay manually and checked the item #. it was some women’s clothing???
Suffice to say, just delete these emails
