I got the following message in the mail.
I called the first number given at the bottom of the message.
The man is going to try to arrange a visit to interview me here in the town where I live.
He asked me to invite a friend to the interview also, because he needs 40 teachers and I am the only one who responded to his message.
Considering how avaricious some teachers are for private students, I find that hard to believe.
I wonder if this man is going to ask for a hefty investment for "[providing me with a computer system that will be set up in my home]," and then walk off and forget about me.

Could someone please respond to this message and see if you get the same line?

They want you to be "on call" from 7 pm to 12 am, 5 days a week, but will only pay for 2 hours of that time?

Yeah, sounds like a right deal to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkks!!!!!!!!

I hope you haven't already agreed to this.

I'd say, tell them to stuff their "free computer" and you can find other jobs on your own.
