You mean ''broke'' like America???...they did manage to just open the tallest building in the world, after all! Don't worry - there's always a little $$$$ laying around!

My sincere advice is to NEVER answer any ads with .tk at the end! I was just ''offered'' a positon in Dubai - totally false! Examine carefully!

Hi,

I received the the first email and havent yet responded. Can you tell me what makes this a scam? How can you tell?My understanding is that the school or whoever hires you should actually cover the expenses, including visa costs so that they asked for meoney definitely stood out to me.
