I'm certain that this is a scam. I received emails from Mehmet Keskin in response to a posted resume for a position with Gundoz Modern School. I received a contract for 5000 Euro/month without an interview. The emails from Keskin never contain any form of salutation. Further, he wants me to contact an email address that he has provided for visa processing. My experience from another such scam is that this address will require at least $200 to process my visa (and they will prefer that I give them credit card information). Gundoz Modern School does not appear in any web searches, nor does a 'Headmaster' named Mehmet Keskin. SCAM

I think they sent it to many peolpe. Now they dont ask about any money. They want me to get a visa by my own. Im curious when they will ask about money.

Here is a way to know: Keep being in touch with them but don't send them any personal info about yourself (you should even use a fake name). Pretend to go with the process. And observe. Soon, they will ask you to send money to their lawyer in order to process your visa. DON'T send any money of course. If you were to send money (I repeat: Don't send any money, it's a scam), they would get back to you and ask money a second time for some type of deposit in your name in a bank account in the country where you will teach, as proof that you have enough resources to move to that country to work, or some other reason. And after they get the $, they would stop replying to your emails. If you proceed further with them, and you want to share the results on this board, that would help other potential victims.

We have the same offer from the same person.... and when I asked him why should I send my application to ths Email: info@turkeyministryoflaborandsocialsecurity.tk and not applying directly to the turkey embasy he send me an email saying employment revoked ,,,,so this offer is scam......

Hi. I had the same letter, likewise with that MCginty in Spain. At the first look of it, they seem legit but really, at the back of my mind, I was doubtful since they never did skype interviews. Second, why should an employer ask for money through WESTERN UNION, MONEYGRAM or PERSONAL BANK ACCOUNT? Employers need not ask for money from applicants. In fact, they should be the one spending for that. In some cases, there are other employers, after skype interview, will ask you to process and spend for your visa at first, subject for reimbursement, after all the legal and required documents will be sent to you, which you will personally present to their embassy (invitation letter from the school, etc.). This one is okay. But of course, you need to spend your money first for the visa and air fare.

All applications for a work visa in Turkey should pass through their embassy in personal appearance. Then, when I replied that I will be going to their embassy to submit all documents for security and legality, that alleged guy MEHMET KESKIN, responded me with, "STUPID. JUST FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.." Sound unprofessional and unethical for a headmaster. Eventually, I LAUGHED MY HEAD OUT. Such a pity for these desperate and vile souls. I hope they can realize that there is KARMA and all their misdoings will be repaid in the future. A lot of people work hard, even making night into day to feed their family, send their kids to school, in a good and proper way, but them? OMG.....Fooling other people around is just a temporary relief. But the consequences, they'll suffer forever...

Just spoke to the TURKISH Embassy in Washington DC, & they said YOU must go to their embassy IN PERSON to get a work VISA......someone should let this school know they are being scammed......

I just got this too...how many people has it been sent to?

Yes this is a scam.
Look at the last 2 digits of the website that they provided www.turkishministryoflaborandsocialsecurity.tk: .tk is not the internet extension for Turkey, it is the internet extension for Tokelau, a territory located in the South Pacific. Scammers have been using this extension for quite a while now; you will find many posts about it on this board.
