Re: Dubai, Premier Center

Can anyone confirm this is a scam?

I've already sent my Passport and resume (which had a lot of personal information including my Identity number). I got the e-mail that says I was short-listed exactly as above. I thought something might be wrong when I looked at the grammar in the response, surely an English school would use better grammar?
I'm kind of worried now that they have so much information, please tell me it isn't a passport cloning scheme (many South Africans have been caught out by these Nigerian schemes).

Please post here if anyone finds out any more information.

Re: Dubai, Premier Center

I sent my passport copy to Premier Language Center before reading this forum, and just thought I'd share the email exchange with I had them. It definitely seems like a scam of some sort (and even if it's not a scam it's definitely not the kind of place I'd want to work!) As soon as I questioned them they revoked the contract which was never even offered in the first place...

Start at the bottom and work upwards.

I'm sorry but why would I obey the procedure without knowing anything about
the school? I won't know if I want to work there until I know some more
information.

Re: Dubai, Premier Center - SCAM

I wish I had seen these postings before I sent my info to them with a black and white scanned copy of my passport. Is there anything I need to do? I am teaching in Korea at the moment.

Re: Dubai, Premier Center - SCAM

most definitly a scam.

facts:

the street exists in dubai, but not that building number
the phone numbers are invalid (if you try calling)
a contact in dubai has asked around and the company does not exist

please share this info as it would be really horrible to get caught up with these discietful people.

Re: Dubai, Premier Center - SCAM

Hello Clarence again
I just got the same detailed contract.
I called it a scam because I heard no responce.
In weeks to come i will repost and give you an
accurate answer if this is a scam or no.

Thank You

Re: Dubai, Premier Center - SCAM

sigh.
i just went through the same process of being shortlisted and filing out these forms for the company,
and they have just sent me a very detailed contract for work.

i havent signed it or sent them anything other than my cv and recent photo (not passport sized or appropriate or anything.)
they do however have my home address and passport number (which i didn't think was a big problem because as a backpacker, plenty of hostels across the world have that information.)

do you think that i am at risk?
