I doubt (and hope) that no one would be gullible enough to fall for something like this (an e-mail that I received the other day), but I thought I'd post it, just in case.
It would seem that someone may be "mining" this site or some other (although I don't belong to any other "ESL teaching Job sites") to find prospective victims.
"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, call me at (phone number deleted by OP)
Cheers
Mr Emy Adas."
Regards,
John |

Well, John, it seems Mr Emy Adas is not only involved in ESL business, he is also involved in AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (A.D.B.), Ouagadougou, Burkina-Faso, and he is after your bank account!

Dear scot47,
Racist? No - just redundant.

I too detect a bit of racism. What gives Mr Adas the impression no one within Manchester is capable of teaching English? |
