A good school will easily find teachers, and has zero need to go trolling for them. ONly very poor quality schools, at least in my experience, will resort to such tactics.

Even when a crap school is "trolling" for teachers, it is very unlikely to be a scam in the sense that someone wants to cheat you by making you pay for a visa or processing expenses of documents in connection with a job.

Quite on the contrary, scammers of this kind will provide a fictitious job profile with very attractive conditions that a job applicant could not resist in applying for. From there, the scammer will ask for all kinds of pretend fees. This would not work if the job conditions were that unattractive; so, that even a crap school will act as a kind of scammer is very unlikely and not logical.

In brief, in case of scammers, there is never - I say, NEVER - a legit school behind it - whether crap "school" or not.

And crap "schools" looking for teachers would never - I say, NEVER - ask for any kind of visa or other document processing fee; it's contrary to their business interest, even if they are crap! And that applies to pretend and crap recruiters as well!

If there are pretend recruiters offering an attractive job and there is none in reality, then these are scammers and not simply crap recruiters as well. Crap recruiters are those that can offer real jobs by promising more than would be really true, but they are no scammers then!

We need to be consistent in our terminology as "scammers", crap "schools" and recruiters differ in many respects; all of them are evil and cause tremendous harm to foreign teachers, and mixing this garbage people and their evil-doings up is not helpful!

To give some sound advice that might do some good to people looking for advice, keep these two things apart and think about it before posting on such topics... Please!!!!!
