Check for job scam

Had a job offer from an academy called e*** national academy-istanbul where they are offering me a job as an English teacher. The offer is good but I have been redirected to another agency for some foreign working documents which I have to pay with the pretext that my money will be refunded once I get to turkey

The company should cover all of your documents, and even if you had to pay for the documents it would be when you go apply for a work permit at the embassy, and you pay the government at the embassy. You do not go through a 3rd party service or pay a 3rd party service.

Sound like a scam to me and I would stay away.

i am not tired of repeating same things over and over.Do your own inspection.Look at the web site,very professional.But the devil is hiding in details.if you look at the contact column you 'll see that there is no fax number and the phone number is a gsm number.Only one digit is separated from the main gsm  number and added to the country code.Even if you checked on Google,you would see that the country code of Türkiye is +90.Now take a breath and relax that you didn't get ripped off by these ***.Check out the web site and see for yourself. esennatlacad.com/

Hello, I just received one job offer today from  E****  Academy. I tried to check the school website and click the "careers", surprisingly there is no email add of HR in case someone wants to join the teaching job. I think this is a SCAM.

I would be shocked, and it's sad that I'm not.
The update - there isn't one as it was busted as a scam so anyone with the ability to read can see.

Company is a scam.  They are not paying much for English teachers in Turkey now. So right away the salary says its a scam.

Other people said they wanted them to pay a deposit, or pay processing fees.

Also all their private information is hidden on their website which means they don't even want anyone to know who is the owner of the website or who made it, etc.

Scamners because of the following :
  • The ip adress proves that the email was sent from U. S
  • The code of Turkey is not +905 but +90
  • The website has some inactive pages
  • The salaries and benefits stated are unrealistic... They offered me a new car, new phone, new desktop... Plus 10,000 usd yearly for furniture... Haha. They even mentioned that every week if receive 500 usd extra for upkeep.
