I, too, received an invitation from this supposed doctor to teach his wife and kids. I went with it thinking that perhaps it was a wonderful opportunity, until the attorney, a "Mr. Richard Henrick" wrote to me and sent me the official .pdf file which stated that I had to show proof of deposits made to the U.K. in the form of 1000 GBP in my name. His English use was atrocious and this is what caused the greatest suspicion for me. I then went to the Embassy in the U.K. and presented them with all of this and they told me that it was a scam. I did ask why they felt the need to solicit someone from overseas, like there were not any schools present in the U.K. for this sort of thing. They ignored my question. I also asked how he could afford to pay such a sum of money for a salary, a flat, and the use of a car. This too, was ignored. The real requirements from what I gathered from my research, are that you be able to show that you have 3 months worth of a suitable balance in a U.K. bank, and barring said balance and the official bank statement from said bank, you are not in compliance with the immigration regulations set up for acquiring any visa at all!! If you look carefully, there is not any visa available for an English teacher to get a visa. You are correct at balking at such elaborate ruses to part you from your money. I told them both, that if this is a legitimate offer, then they will pull the required balance of 1000 GBP to be collected at Heathrow Airport in my name, then I and this Dr. Diaz would collect it together once I arrived at the airport to the nearest Western Union kiosk. That way, I was ensured of a timely pick up at the airport, and that none of my own money would be required to fulfill this supposed requirement.

When I was trying to determine the validity of what he was proposing, I asked him questions about the weather and got vague responses. I reported him to the FBI on White Collar crimes division. It is something that seems to be going around. I have had two other job offers with similar requirements and the last came to me two days ago from a "Dr. Isadore Adonis". He was offering the same sort of thing with nearly an identical job prospectus. Another one was from a "Dr. George McGee". I have since shut all of them up in asking them for bona fide credentials like, ( apostilled degrees, and diplomas, Passports and information pages, a copy of their visas, and of course a driver's license"). When I asked this last charlatan for credentials I was introduced to that scam from "Dr. Henry Richards, Ph.D." and now thanks to this website, I know better than to waste my time with any of it.
