Madrid, Spain - 2009-10-23

Please be aware of a scam posing as the American School of Madrid and the The Schengen Visa Office. They will ask for your CV, cover letter and photo. Then they will forward a somewhat simplistic application. They have copies the school website’s logos. They will send you a too good to be true contract with the director’s signature. Then they will request that you forward copies of your passport, bank statement and visa fees to the schengen office.

The fraudulent emails used in this scam are as follows:

JOBS@ASMADRlD.ORG AND INFO@ASMADRlD.ORG notice that they use caps to disguise the fact that they have changed the “i” in Madrid to a lower case “l.” They also use the the following to pose as the schengen office:
info@theschengenoffices.com
thescengenoffices@gmail.com

I got hip to them before giving them any damaging information because of some misspellings in the contract that seemed unlikely for a school of this stature, and the ease with which I apparently qualified for this position, but I still felt stupid for getting on the ride at all. lol. The school is aware of the scam and has a warning posted on it’s employment page.

Don’t let these scumbags get away with your personal info or any $$$.

Good luck job hunting.
