Is this similar to what you received? Did you even apply for this position?
USD3900 is high for a language school at best. Plus I've never heard of a retirement fund for expat teachers. Nor have I heard of any of the better employers (let alone this unknown) offering not only accomodation but also a car to teachers. This smells.
Do not send them any $$$ or any personal details (i.e. passport copy) until and unless you find someone |

$3900 for any old BA... fat chance...
Definitely a scam... send them no information and especially no money.

| Scammers don't usually spring for a private domain name. The email address indicates maybe it isn't a scam; still, proceed with caution and as advised--don't provide much beyond a CV. |

Yes, but do google that domain site. It is merely to give them some validity...

I thought that was pretty odd myself. I suspect that it means that they are making enough money, that it was worth the investment to take it that one step closer to looking legitimate.
,,,like trying to block spam emails...
