There's an offer on the International Job Board here at Dave's. Perhaps I shouldn't say which one, but it is in the UK and offers: "Remuneration range from 5,000.00 Great British Pounds to 10,000.00 Great British Pounds Monthly" Shocked

I haven't looked at the advert, but it's likely aimed at non-EU member citizens and will require some 'paltry' fee up-front for visa expenses (something like 2,000 GBP). Cool

Hmm 5k-10k GBP to teach TEFL in the UK. It COULD happen, and I could also become the next 'Dear Leader' of North Korea.

Seriously, these scamsters need to scale back a bit. A TEFL job in the UK paying more than 15 GBP an hour would still have people queueing up!

DING! Six points for me. I called that one! Dave has replaced their ad with a warning.
