In response to REQUIRED ESL TEACHER FOR NEWCASTLE (fake teaching job, England, Western Union) (MICHAEL HO)

The details of this situation are quite definitely no-go for all sorts of reasons. But I write this in a general sense as follows:

I am British and can tell you that

  • No foreigner can enter the UK to work legally as a teacher, tutor, nanny - or indeed to work at all, without a visa and work permit and nothing of the kind would be granted by the British Authorities to anyone applying for such jobs as those.

  • There are nearly 2 million unemployed in the UK right now and a sizeable proportion of those are ex-teachers of one form or another - or are freshly graduated students who are ideally qualified to work as teachers and would do so with little or no reluctance.

  • Why would anyone claiming to be some kind of smartass executive want to pay a huge salary and provide such fantastic-sounding benefits to a foreigner when all he has to do is put a free advertisement in his local British newspaper and be inundated with good candidates, most of whom would comfortably outshine most of the foreign teachers working in China, and who would work for more modest terms.

    These people will tell you how wonderful a candidate you are and make you feel like a million bucks - they will then get you to part with two or three hundred dollars to cover administration and paperwork costs and once you part with that money, you will hear no more.

    What surprises me is that there are people here who are gullible enough to even think such propositions are genuine. Otherwise the perpetrators wouldn't bother to advertise at all.
