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. Rolling Eyes 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.
* Severance Pay equal to 1 month�s salary (on completion of contract).
* 30 days Paid Vacation per year.
* Free Round trip economy class ticket will be provided for you and your family members.
* 100% Pension will be provided.
* 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.

The Job Details are as follows:
* Teaching English to Age groups ranging from elementary to middle school students (30~40 students/a class).
* 12 months contract(Renewable).
* Working days : Monday and ends on Thursday.
* Working Hours: 6 hours Daily [9:00am to 3:00pm] 12pm-1pm Break Time.
* Employee will receive 1 month paid vacation on top of the already stipulated holidays (Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday including Ramadan and all National Holidays).

To apply you MUST meet the following requirements:
* All Nationalities are Accepted.
* Positive outlook with a strong desire to work.

ooooh!!! I like the additions of the pension idea and a feeding allowance! Razz

I think the heating system is a dead giveaway as to it's lack of authenticity though Rolling Eyes 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. Laughing

I posted it down here because the ad is still on the website.
