I was given the same job offer today! The entire process took 3 days from the time I applied. The interview consisted of pages of questions downloaded from the internet. Apologies were always made by the hiring manager a Mr. Lillo (dianakondrach@outlook.com) who stated that his English was very poor and that everything was written by a translator. Though, as anyone knows who has used a language translator program it just doesn't come out right, whereas the English used in his emails was quite good. The advertised salary is $3,700 USD / month. However, the actual contract states right at the top that $300 will be deducted monthly for tax. I though this was also strange nobody writes that. They just state that taxes, etc. will be deducted as required as a matter of fact. Mr. Lillo also sent me the contact information of the travel agent a Mr. Abdullah Khan Fahad CEO at: maylasiantravelagency@fastservice.com - I tried to find the travel agency site on Google, that's when the red flags went up! I saw scam warnigs associated with the fastservice.com address and that led me to your post. I also told Mr. Lillo that my wife would be coming with me but he made no references to her concerning visa processing or anything. He also stated that I would receive a "single shared apartment" at no cost. I don't know what a "single shared apartment" is. I mean it's either single or shared not both. Anyway, I asked for clarification. He responded immediately (This guy works 24/7) saying that it's a flat shared with another married couple with a seperate bathroom & kitchen, which doesn't really make sense. Two kitchens in one house kind of defeats the economical purpose of sharing housing. Since there is no way to actually contact the school I think the best way to proceed if one is so inclined is to say that you do not have the funds to pay for the plane tickets up front and ask that the school cover the costs. Personally, I'm out.
