|
|
Pardon me if this has been covered (I did search for "britanico" in all forums, but didn't see anything in the Spain forum). Every so often, I see very brief job announcements here and there for "Centro Britanico, Jaen Andalusia" where the address is given as "Paseo de Estacion" and the contact address is from yahoo.es.
There is a "Centro Britanico/Centro Espanol," but they appear to have their own domain name "cbce.net" and are not located in Andalusia according to their website.
It just tripped my suspicious flag, so I was wondering if anyone had heard of them?
Thanks for any info!

Not likely to be a scam, it's in the www.paginasamarillas.es
Jaen's a small city so I guess that these businesses don't need to invest in webpages, "word of mouth" being more �mportant. In fact, some of the academies who invest most in net marketing are among the least trustworthy. |

Oh, heck, I'm a dummy. I didn't even think to look there! I've seen scams before where the people choose a name that's similar to a big, famous school or organization, so when I saw the similarity to cbce, it made me suspicious.
Thanks, foss!
