Heard of this place?

http://furahilanguageschools.tk

Supposedly offering a start date in February with what seems to be reasonable pay and benefits.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Addition:

Ah, found some unappetizing info on them elsewhere.

Scam operation trying to collect permit and travel fees.

Figures.

BTW, it is worth noting that I am not sure how they got my info since I only had sent two resumes out and have been inactive for 2 years on the boards.

Apparently they have spotters at recruiters and such.

SCAM

Note that the website address is .tk.

That immediately tells you that it is a scam. They are always trolling for suckers

See the scam thread above.

Here is the official website for Sharjah Educational zone:
http://www.sez.gov.ae/

Now some will wonder why I am posting this Arabic website. It is bcoz the TK website is just an informal forum for SEZ.

So, are you suggesting they are credible and worth pursuing?

No he isn't and they are not. He was pointing out that this scammer is using an odd part of a legitimate website, as they often do.

So better to say "unauthorized" than "informal" that's what had me confused.

Clear.

Ah... but it was an "unauthorized" use of what actually is an "informal forum."
