I think they can only use it online, but hopefully no.
Legit schools and Uae government only accept apostilled original copies from their Embassy and the ones i sent didn't have them nor from my own embassy.

I think the best thing is that we didn't send any money. When i declined their offer bec. Of expensive fees, they stopped.. Pls. Reposrt your experience to Khda.gov.ae so that they can ve aware of this scam as well.

They have a directory of legit schools and the schools have a lot processes before hiring someone. Cheers!
