It might help to show the bogus website and email addresses that they are using in this ad. Are they the same as in the sticky thread above?

It doesn't take much rooting around in Google with a few search terms like "uae" "esl" "scam" to dig up information on this bogus job offer--many hits point directly to these threads. My feeling at this point is that anybody who falls for it is a dedicated school of hard knocks learner whose "money is soon parted".
