[Never Ceased To Be Amazed]

But what about the kids' education? We can't forget about the kids...can we???

Damn! And to think that this lucky "new era" was offered this great opportunity before me!

This is a scam.

Notice the email addresses you are asked to email.

.net
.com

not .ae which is the standard email address to any school or government agency in the UAE.

Anyone who is asking you to pay for the visa applicaiton is a scam. Contact the school directly (call them) and ask about your application.

[veiledsentiments]

I'm assuming that you are aware that this is the typical Scam to separate you from $385... after which you will be asked for more to see how dumb you really are... some have been stung for well over $1000 before they finally figured out that there isn't any job.

There are enough red flags in that offer to decorate a sports arena...

ENS is a K12 school and you would not be teaching conversational English.

[bri_guy]

I work at ENS. We do not have labor cards. Also, our HR department handles all of the formalities in dealing with entry requirements; there would be no need to liaise directly with the Ministry of Labor.

[veiledsentiments]

Scammers have been using the names of real schools now for a few years... like ENS, Dubai British School and Abu Dhabi British School... they will even refer you to their real websites. They just hope that you don't search around too much on the website which can show that they are scammers.

I would say that the one hard and fast rule is that for any education job paying over $3000-4000 a month, if they ask you to send any money for a visa by way of Western Union... it is definitely a scam.
