scam response

Erin I would like to talk to you more about this because the same thing happened to me. Email me at imatthews20@gmail.com

#2 Parent Erin - 2005-01-11
Yes, it's definitly a scam

First of all, the job sounds too good to be true, most esl jobs in Greece don't have salary and benefits like this, or even consider highering non-eu passport holders.

Second, when you email, or talk with the people of the school they always say they're different people, and never give a straight story.

MOST IMPORTANT!!! The school does not exist, my friend searched up and down for the school at the address that is given in this add, even checked with businesses in the area, no one has ever heard of it!

So sad, I'm one of the jack-asses that gave them my CV and passport info, and am going through the process of protection against identity theft, I would advise anyone else to do the same!

Fair enough. Shouldn't be happening that. We've spread the word, too.

Athens Scam

I recall a while back someone was asking about this school , Im not sure if shes there or not .

Basically they wanted money for working visa purposes ? Meaning you are not a holder of a EU Passport ?

#5 Parent Teacher - 2004-12-30
250 euros

Yes, they ask 250 euros sent Western Union to a person, supposedly the accountant of the school (that does not exist).

#6 Parent Teacher - 2004-12-30
250 euros

Yes, they asked 250 euros to process the visa.

#7 Parent Henry - 2004-12-30
why? Link

I know nothing about this school and job, but why is it a scam? Rather than just tell us it is, can you provide some proof that there's something awry here?

If so we'd be happy to spread the word, but what is the problem with this?
