Fake Jobs Harvest info for Identity Theft and Advance Fee Fraud

This is a warning to all teachers who are looking for international teaching positions. We have been receiving a series of phishing emails advertizing fake jobs. These jobs are advertised as being in the UK, USA and Canada.

One of the fake jobs is advertised as private teaching for kids at a huge salary, one said and I quote: "Monthly Salary 6,500 GBP (Great British Pounds) and medical allowance, and free accommodation, with room facilities, equip with Fridge, TV, land line, free internet connection and kitchen ultility". They ask"contact me with your current resume and full information about you".

This is one teachers experience with a fake job:

I was contacted for a teaching job in England. The contactor even supported his claims by having his so-called lawyer that helped him immigrate to England to book my flight and arrange a visa. I was given a contract and a revised contract. The addresses checked out. I was contacted by phone many times. But things got weird. I allowed the potential employer to contact me by messenger. He began to harass me everytime I was online wanting money for this visa.

Upon contacting the UK border agency I was informed that the requested documents and forms were not legitimate. Watch out for this one. To read more details:

Another Fake Teaching Job Scam Alert:
http://www.eslteachersboard.com/cgi-bin/scamalerts/index.pl?read=271

The scammers are using the resume and CV information to assemble enough details to switch mail addresses for bank accounts and credit cards. They will have new credit cards issued in your name and sent to a new address. They will max out all the new credit cards with out you knowing anything. Your first warning will be when they drain your bank account and leave you with zero. They then switch the new credit card addresses back to your current address so you will have no money and anywhere from 15,000 to 50,000 dollars in credit card debt. This process will make you look like the thief and will take years and lawyers to clear your name and avoid criminal charges.

Check out everything before you send your personal information - Never send your bank or credit card information to a job application!!!!!
