Post Warning - ESL Teaching

michelevanhee · Tue 31-May-05, 12:20 AM

[SIZE=4]Hi there, I'm just writing to warn you about one of your job ads - Adrian School of English Zurich. I was searching other sites, and there is a huge WARNING about this schooling being a fraud. The address is non-existing and the postal code is incorrect for that location. I'm not too sure, but you should check this out.

Hello Michelevanhee,

Welcome to the ESL Community Forum. We hope this is the first of many postings amongst users to benefit all in free communication.

In any industry, there will always be fraudsters around. If anyone else has info on Adrian School of English Zurich, feel free to post your facts.

I have come across quite a few organisations that demand money upfront before being able to place teachers. I would advise against this and get as much information as possible from the organisation making this request. Past referals or history of the company would be a good start.

Cheers all!

Regards,
Admin.

I saw the Adrian School of English Zurich post some time back. Haven't seen their ads since. I think we can assume they are now gone.... thank goodness

Any agency that asks for money upfront for job placement is an illegal, or at least unethical, scam. Most countries have laws against this. As they say in modeling/acting: if an agent asks for money upfront it's a scam.
