Fighting fire with fire is a dangerous option. By sending a virus we would be just instigating them to do more damage, not to mention illegal. It is best to blog the topic, send it out on forums like this, and black list there name. Teachers should realize to do a search on the school name and directors name prior to applying for any job.

I was sent exactly the same...They even push their luck by offering me a written contract without having an interview before...It has alerted me and started inquiring, 'till I found the answer on that site....I was also told to never accept a contract in such a case....
Some people are very bad...

Hi everyone,
I also got the same e-mail job in Dubai and I also sent my personal information. What can we do? They also asked for my passport number.How can we know for sure that our identities won't be stolen. I m worried.Should we report it to the RCMP or to the passport bureau
very concerned

I was sent an email with an interview form which required personal details from me. I still had no suspicions, however I googled the email address and came up with scam alerts. Now I'm concerned that my details will be used in identity theft. I can't believe that this has happened. It has also come to my notice that they require payment for work permits. I hope that the scam was only getting money off people....I hate to imagine that the culprits will use my personal details!!
Who can we report this to??

Yikes!
I received the exact same emails!! I became suspicious when they offered the job and wanted to start the visa without so much as a telephone interview or even checking my references.
Who are the proper authorities to contact and have these fraudsters stopped?
Two important thoughts:
If you think that it's too good to be true...it probably is!
AND
Trust your instincts!

Gary asked how I knew it was a scam. First clue: Second and third email quality was terrible. Second clue: They wanted money upfront, a big red flag! Third clue, the clincher: Their email address ends with the letters "tk", not "ae" as Dubai and other Arab Emirate countries do. "tk" means Tokelau, a small island in the South Pacific.

SCAM ALERT: The common ad, running on many ESL teacher's sites, is a scam. It routinely reads, "High pay, $4750 USD per month, location in Dubai, free airfare, free housing," etc., etc, is a scam. Don't go there!!!
