Well well, real shocking--if it's too good be true it probably is. I had my friend call the numbers on the "contract", my friend lives in Dubai, and only to get a fax zappo. The street doesn't exist where it supposedly is and it's a scam out of turkey hence the dot "tk" on their website. So pathetic, makes me really turned off from overseas jobs in all reality. People like this are just worthless. All I can say is this is not a real job posting.

Look at the Scam thread at the top of this page. It points out that any website ending with .tk is a scam. This has been known for at least three years, and we have been posting about it regularly. This particular scammer has already been discussed on the board and added to the SCAM thread above.

It is NOT Turkey. It is a small Pacific island off New Zealand called Tokelau which sells cheap domain names... no questions asked.

That is why a board like this exists. To check out overseas employers before you get taken for a ride.

Sorry I am not so savvy on this.

Basically if it sounds too good to be true, it almost always is.

If it requires minimal credentials (BA, Cert, 1 yr experience) and offers $3-4000 a month, it is a scam.

If the website ends in .tk, it is a scam.

If they ask you to send money - usually by money order - for a visa, it is a scam. (employers provide and pay for visas)

Welcome to the real world!! Laughing
