				| 
 |  
				| Found on another ESL job website.  I sent a message through their board "contact" telling them they should remove it. 
 Definitely a SCAM
 
 Notice how unrealistic it is... extremely high salary... but no credentials required other than being alive and applying.
  That salary would require an MA and 3+ years of experience.  There is no pension for expats.  There is no such thing as a "feeding allowance."  The provided furnishings list is very bizarre too.  It has the weekend being Friday, Saturday AND Sunday!!  Completely ridiculous... 
 The Salary & Benefits will be as follows:
 * Salary is $4750USD per month(Tax Free).
 * Overtime pay is $50USD/an hour.
 * Weekly Feeding Allowance is $250USD.

 * 100% Medical Insurance will be provided.
 * Free 2bed room private Apartment(Rent-free and furnished) will be provided within the school premises.
 Furniture: Curtains, bed, bedding, sheets, desk, closet, table, dining set, VCR, TV, washing machine, clothes rack, pots,pans, dishes, cutlery, phone, fridge, stove, fan or AC, and a working heating system etc.

				| ooooh!!! I like the additions of the pension idea and a feeding allowance!   
 I think the heating system is a dead giveaway as to it's lack of authenticity though
  and of course the .tk email address 
 Really, do people fall for this?

				| If you read the scam thread above, you will see the post of a person who replied before s/he got suspicious. 
 I liked the "fan or A/C" with the heating idea.
   
 I posted it down here because the ad is still on the website.
