Does anyone know anything about Nadesia International School Greece? The salary they promise seems almost too good to be true. Do they pay on time? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Pat,

I considered applying to this school as well, but I worry about whether it is legitimate or not....I was not able to find the address online nor was I able to find a website....I sent an email to the contact person and here is what I wrote:

Could you tell me more about the school and perhaps a website? I am curious about the position, but I would like a little more information.

This is the reply:

Anyways, I agree with you that the posting seems to good to be true and I always hear about scams regarding diplomas and stuff...Have you tried contacting them as well, and if you did, did you get the same email with multiple errors?

[pspring]

I got the exact same letter today in response to my application. I sent what he asked for. It will be interesting to see what happens next. I will most certainly not consider a position there until more information is forthcoming.

Thanks for the input. Stay tuned. Something tells me there is more to come.

Don't bother wasting any time with this. There's no way it can be anything but a scam. The wages are completely unrealistic, and I've never heard such a ridiculous name as Jose Dragoumis. No doubt the next reply you get from them will be asking you for money to process your visa or similar.

[pirateinpanama]

Yeah, this does smell "scam" all the way.
Just look at the job description! That alone should tell you something.
And I agree...oh that name! Give me a break!

Yes, it's a scam. They do ask for 1500 Euro for a visa processing fee/accommodation fee. I applied and after answering "interview questions" which actually seemed legitimate, received the following:

[lomedamontgomery]

So glad I checked with ya'll. I thought something was up when they didn't check my references, and then when they asked for money! What a bunch of creeps.
Thanks,

Luis Pinto and company also appear to be running this scam as Lecel International School, supposedly based in Madrid See the thread on the Spain board at Dave's called "Too good to be true?"
