This is one scam that I have not received, but I have received other similar to it. My advice to anyone is if you are ever asked to send money to an attorney/barrister/etc. for any reason, a visa, work permit, teaching certificate, whatever they choose to call it, NEVER SEND ANY MONEY IN ADVANCE. Whenever you are asked to do that, it is always a SCAM. Any reputable school will never ask you to pay for anything in advance of going to work for them. Also, you will never be asked to send money by Western Union. That is a dead givaway of a scam as well.

Just remember if you have a question as to the validity of the school or the offer, if you are ever asked to send any money for any reason to anyone, it is a scam and discontinue any correspondence with them plus post your experience on this site for others to be forewarned.
