The pay is what gives it away in part. Also in the Uk they "speak" English, why advertise on an international board like this one when you have a whole country of people who speak the tongue you want your family to learn?
My guess is that if you go far enough in the negotiations you will have to send some kind of processing fee, application for, or something like that for a visa or something, no doubt they will try and make it sound very reasonable. These scam artists might actually get away with this kind of thing if they stopped offering such huge salaries. I suppose they think some people out there are so dumb they won't get the "too good to be true angle", and I guess some are.

My name is Al- I am American and just would like to corroborate one of the latest ESL Teacher SCAMS going-
This particular SCAM is coming from London or England overall and in my case a 2 out of three times its a married man, usually claiming to be Saudi Arabian claiming 'oil riches' who now needs a Private ESL Tutor for his kids and paying $5-6,000.00USD a month with apt. & use of a car!!!! Note, I have also had one of these claiming to be a rich Japanese man as well. Finally, there is the Owner of a Saudi company is is looking around the world himself for ESL teachers for his own biz- this one even has a website of his copany, but when you check it out its poorly done really.
Again- Bottom Line- if it looks to good it isn't real!
