HELLO fellow posters Smile

Have you had any experience regarding ALLOHA COLLEGE and teacher recruitment

It seems like a scam cause I got the same questions email as for the Collegio Alleman John Hoffman. Rolling Eyes

Please let me have your comments on this school. Cool

Many thanks for your info and time. Wink

Hey, I saw that ad too, but it must be a scam because it's spelled wrong for one. 'Aloha' with one 'L' is a real school if you google it. Try contacting them through their official website.

Hi!

Guess what? They offered me a contract with two names and signatures and 2 tags/stamps but made it sure I understand that I have pay 1000 euros before arriving in Spain:))

Will the police do nothing to these people?? Will they get away with it?

They only get away with it if you send them money Cool

Just don't.

No I will not! Thanks:)

But will the police do nothing? Scams like this will flourish if the police won't do anything, won't they?

Which police? In what country? Do you really know exactly where this particular scam originates? If someone shut them down, what's to prevent their just starting again with a new website?

Scams only flourish if people fall for them. If no-one sends money, they die.

Hi everyone,

I applied for the job too, but luckily I couldn't find their original advertisement so I applied to the schools actual HR department. They wrote me back and told me it was a scam and that they were seeking legal action. Sad...it didn't seem too good to be true, but apparently it was.

I was really proud of my application too!

Good luck!
