Has anyone heard of Global Recruiters advertising on behalf of Zafirah Language Institutes in Dubai? I responded to an ad on Joey's ESL page and received a rather odd looking reply asking me to fill in an application form. I did so, but didn't give them all the info asked for. The next day, I got an email from Zafirah school saying they were satisfied with my application and interview with Global (which I never had) and would be sending me a contract of employment!!! I'm wondering what they're up to??? Any replies will be much appreciated.

its a scam it has to be.....they did the same to me.....but i didnt send ANY money and im really really angry because i wanted this job,,,,,,

thanks for your reply. I've since done some of my own investigating and it's confirmed that they are a fraud. There was no chance of my sending them any money as there were many signs of suspicious origins, not to mention my accurate gut feeling telling me to beware.
