www.studyuk.com is a well known institution in the UK and respectable.

about 6 months ago I was contacted about starting up a branch here in Istanbul. I was contacted by Mehmet Agca and I went to meet meet him. I was quite impressed. Initially on a consultancy role I wrote a brief course outline and supplied a list of teachers who were interested in part time work(with their consent). I was told the course outline needed to be in more detail but when I told him I would have to be paid, he went quiet and I haven't heard from him since.

One of the initial things I did was to give him the name and number of a Turk who knew the ins and outs of the Turkish Ministry of Education, she was interviewed and given the job and been working for him since March(she is Molly's ex assistant)

Anyway she phoned me on Friday to say that she was quiting because she hadn't been paid for three months and she was warning me that he would be phoning contact numbers I had given him to teach classes.
An hour ago a friend rang to say that he been in contact, I told him to avoid the school. So if you see the school advertising, stay away.

various email addresses are

www.studyuk.com.tr

www.studybritish.co.uk


www.londonmet.ac.uk (He claims to be a lecturer in Economics at London Metropolitan university-don't know how true this is)

My friend that called said Mehmet was phoning on behalf of Metropolitan School of English.

Hi, I am currently negotiating with Mr Agca about a job in Istanbul...

He does appear to be legit - He contacted me through Oxford House College in london where I was doing my CELTA...

can you explain exactly who told who to avoid who please...your post doesnt make it particulaly clear.
