SAME SCAM UNDERWAY! NEW NAME – VERY PROFESSIONAL

Contacted by Sandy Qui (qisandy3@gmail.com) to email Marcus Ekman at Dexerials Corporation in Japan (hrdesk@dexerialscorp.com)

Marcus claiming to be the HR Manager. The email was sent from hrdesk@dexerialscorp.com. Dexerials is an electronic company in Japan, but has the domain .jp, not .com.

They offered a flexible online Business English teaching position of 10-20 hours per week at $50/hour. The teacher sent their CV and cover letter and arranged an interview online via Skype. Within 3 hours of the interview they were offered the job and sent a contract to sign. They were also asked to approach the Asia Bureau Service in Japan (https://asiabureauservices.com/ and info@asiabureauservice.com). Was asked NOT to use GMAIL due to VPN issues.

Following red flags:

1. All the emails were very generic and not addressed to the teacher personally.
2. The video for the Skype interview was very low resolution, with no audio.
3. The interviewer (Marcus Ekman) then communicated via the chat (IM) function stating that the connection appeared to be poor and that the teacher should try and call him back on Skype. This didn’t work, so he asked if he could send the teacher a list of questions. This list arrived on Dexerials company letterhead. The teacher was asked if they could record video with their answers.
3. Within just 2 hours of the interview the teacher received an email with a job offer.
4. The teacher received the contract, which contained rather generic conditions more suited to a permanent employment contract and not a remote online job (such as housing allowance, etc.)
5. I received communication from the Asia Bureau Office and MY SOUTH AFRICAN CONSULAR NATIONAL SERVICES (legalisation@dirco.gov.za ) informing me that they needed to complete an application for some sort of security clearance. The timeframe for all this correspondence was just a couple of hours – a questionably quick turnaround time for such departments in my country. NOTE THEY MUST HAVE HACKED INTO THE GOV WEBSITE BECAUSE THIS IS THE CORRECT .gov.za ADDRESS!
6. There is no mention of a Marcus Ekman working at Dexerials based on a quick search.
7. I was asked to pay USD810 for the security check to a Japanese Mizhuo bank account.
8. The pay was $50/hour – very high.

“I am one of the victims. The ‘real’ school at Casale Monferrato has a warning about this on their web page, and I am not the first victim. They seem to target those who are not EU nationals. However, they tell me that other smaller schools have likewise been fraudulently represented. The way you can know for sure is if they put you in contact with a so-called immigration attorney called Luca Andrea, who does not exist. Be warned – these people can be very convincing with receipts and details.”

Hi
As owner of OYE I was really disturbed to learn that someone has been scamming people by pretending to offer jobs.
Please be clear that we have reported this to the police and asked Google to close down the fraudulent web page.
I took on board the comments re our web page and poor design. Hopefully it looks better now, we are a small school which focuses on preparing high standard course material rather than marketing ourselves. Obviously we need to improve a few things!!
Also we have no fixed phone line as this would be another cost which would be reflected in class prices.
Our objective is to provide small classes of a high standard at a reasonable price.

“I have been in contact with this individual. Please share any additional information you may have, such as what did he ask for, e.g., money, bank account information, etc. The more details you can share, the better informed everyone will be. Simply telling us what he advertised or that he may “potentially” be asking for money to process a visa, does not tell us whether or not he actually HAS requested any personal information or money. I’m trying to get more details from this potential scammer so I can share it on the forum, but so far he has not asked for anything that makes me overly cautious. I do not want to wrongly accuse someone of doing anything amiss until I have all the facts. Thanks!”

“We are not hiring through other websites, we are victims of an internet scam. Contact us only through this webpage.”

I received the following scam from someone claiming to be from the University of Vienna. I had spoken to someone who had a University of Vienna skype account, but the email does not match the university’s email scheme and the email is suspect. I was later asked to send money to a personal bank account to pay for apartments.

Hello, very new to the site and wanted to share this. I applied for a job on a different site for a job teaching in Ghana. They set up a skype interview and during the interview the man had said that job is taken but there is a job opening in Cameroon. I thought about it. I am adventurous by nature. This same scam seems to have been talked about on this same forum before. They said they will pay $1000/week net pay.

“I applied for a job at Segi University. It was listed on several ESL job board sites and the initial email was sent to info@segiuni.org. If you click on the link in the adverts, it does take you to the school’s legit website.

I was given a Skype interview, but no video. The contact was listed as Segi Uni. After a few days, I received a job offer, which requested a guarantee fee. I replied that I would like details and would like to talk to current teachers. I then went to the website and clicked on the contact us page. I noticed that the email address was slightly different @segi.edu.my. So I sent an email and asked if they had an hr representative by the name of Yong Vafa and did I receive an offer from their university.
I received a reply email from Jason Liew stating that there was no such person working at Segi and many people had become trapped by this issue. I want to let people know because if you google Segi University of Yong Vafa nothing comes up.”

“Job benefits include return air ticket,accommodation assistance,health insurance,21 days paid holidays,visa assistance, monthly tax-free salary- 2700 Euro and contract completion bonus.

“Dear _____,

Thanks for your prompt response!

We understand your doubts,it is quite normal.We are so sorry
that you have been scammed in the past.Be reassured that there there
is no room for such ill practices here in St. Gilgen due to high security
network.Also,St. Gilgen International School is a reputable firm that maintains its standards at every level.If you decide to reject the contract after payment for any reason, your money must surely be refunded,though ten percent of the total amount may be deducted for paper works.

As we are approaching the end of the year,and the Christmas holiday has
already commenced.We are unable to receive direct bank transfers,as
our Auditors are already busy with the end of year audits. An attempt to wire funds directly to our banks at this time of the year could cause much delay in the visa process(if required) and other formalities.As a result of such delay,your arrival deadline and job commencement must surely be affected

In order to speed up the entire process and eliminate delay you are advised to send the guarantee deposit through MONEYGRAM TRANSFER ,as it is one of the most reliable,efficient and secured means of receiving money here in St.Gilgen,Austria.

While we wait patiently for the signed contract, kindly address the payment to the School Barrister who will be taking care of the paper works through out the entire process.

Please be notified that the process of securing the necessary papers for your arrival and job commencement may take up to 25 working days,a lot of paper work is involved.This is why we need to be extremely sure of your agreement prior to spending our time,energy and money to acquire the necessary papers for you.

Below is the Barrister’s name:

RECEIVER’S NAME: Ekeh Godian
Address:St. Gilgen International School,Ischlerstrasse 13 ,St. Gilgen, Austria.

Other travel arrangements will be disclosed to you later,precisely
after registering your name at the Austrian Education Authority.This
registration will be done upon receipt of the required fees.

Once more, as soon as your payment is confirmed,we shall reserve
your accommodation,register your name at the office of the
Austrian Education Authority and proceed with further preparations
for your arrival.The School Barrister will also issue you a properly
endorsed receipt as proof of payment.

.. Kindly send the transfer details to this
email address: info@stgilgenintlschool.com

NB: Do not forget to scan and attach a copy of the payment
slip/receipt,it will to be kept in your record for future reference.
Please keep the original copy of the payment receipt in a safe place,
it will be needed during the time of reimbursement.

You are expected to arrive between the 19th and 20th of February in order
to attend the orientation program.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

“Thank you for the information. I applied for the same job and went through the whole process and sent in my resume and copy of degrees. I even got a call for an interview and the call came from the St Gilgen school number and i did some research and found out that scammers spoof telephone numbers and hide the number they are calling from and on my phone i see the real school number. I am waiting for the call at 2pm for that so called interview.”

“I also applied to this job, went through the entire process, sent my degrees, CV and even received two phone calls supposedly from the school. As soon as I was informed that I had to deposit 2000 euros in some bank account in a foreign country I knew something was up. Their email domain is based somewhere in India and they were asking for a deposit in a Scandinavian Bank. The man that spoke to me had a very heavy German accent and pretended to be talking to the secretary e.g he even said: Tanja can you bring me her file? It seemed very real. Anyway, when I called the actual School they informed me that knew about this problem and that they had not contacted me via phone.
I found the ad on the Indeed Austria website. I hope this helped someone out there!”

“I was a “victim” of a scam by someone posing as St Gilgen International School. I found the job opening on Indeed Austria and they were looking for an ESL teacher. I went through written and phone interviews and they called me using the actual phone number at St Gilgen’s. Once I got an email that I had to deposit 2000 euros in a bank account in either Sweden or FInland (I cant recall) I knew something was wrong. So I had someone look into it and he found the email domain was based in Mumbai India. The email was different than that on the official website. The one used by the scam is info@stgilgenintlschool.com but the original is @sgis.at I hope this has helped and something can be done about it.”

“Thank god I found this before I made a huge mistake of sending over a scanned copy of my passport to this phony. Apparently this guy is now going as Augusto Carlos, for Execs Kindergarten College in Avila Spain. Same deal, 1800 euros, 2 bedroom apt, airfare, visa, etc. website down, director is on health leave, 2 week orientation in Avila and and Madrid, emails in broken English back… same bunch of crooks. all very painful to write about because I was so excited about the whole thing. And, being a graphic designer, I should have seen how HORRIBLY PHOTOSHOPPED the name of the school was on the front of the building of the photo they sent me. Literally a font slapped right on the building. I am new to applying for TEFL jobs, I assumed that because it is posted on an credible job forum it couldn’t be a scam. Well I guess when something is too good to be true, it IS. Too bad, because I quit a good job for this bs. I am glad I caught it before they stole my identity! What could have happened if I sent them a scanned picture of my passport? Anyone?

Here is some correspondence between “Augusto” and I and the “Visa Immigration team Travel Spain”

Dear Danielle,

We would like to thank you so much for bringing this awful information about the school to our attentions. We are absolutely not aware of this until now. Now, we can certainly understand your doubtful situation and circumstance. In all sincerity, there is no way you can find information about the school being a new school with no official website on the internet yet. This is the reason why we had to forward to applicants some pictures of the school and also send them a contract. The simple reason why one of the applicant had to published that bad comments is because she is asked to pay part of the airfare by herself. She felt this is not necessary and could probably not be real. This is quite unfortunate. It is the school policy and rules and we can’t change that. There are lots of schools in europes with no websites but are real and genuine.

Although, we quite agreed that, It is always good to be careful in whatever we are doing especially when it comes to the issue of money. At this stage, We thought you should be happy and getting ready to fly and starting with your new job with the school. Although, we do understand the way you feel about the non availability of the school website coupled with the bad comments found. You do not need to get worried. If by anyway, you still don’t feel comfortable with the situation, kindly indicate this and you will be instructed to hold on until the school Director gets back and provide you with more information and a satisfactory directives to follow. This may take a little while though, But it is the only option for any teacher that feels uncomfortable with any of the arrangement. Your position will still be intact.

Our school is a great and genuine institution with the aims and objectives of bringing good education to different races of children living in Avila community. The institution has been fully assessed and licenced to operate a school. The academy system is equal to the British standard of education. We are not employing anyone to take money from them. So you need not to entertain any fear in this regards. The reason for asking the teachers to make part payment for the airfare is to get some commitment from their ends. We are aware of some people parading themselves on the internet as genuine teacher when they are not. They only pretend to be real teachers in order to get employment and have you pay for them to travel round the world. So you need to also understand and bear with us too. We did sent you a contract agreement to let you know that the school is real. It is the school policy and rules for all the foreign teachers to pay half of the airfare prior to arriving to the school and get reimburse of the half payment made when they resumed duty fully.

We actually do not want any form of delay in obtaining all the needed papers, that was why we instructed the teachers to start with every arrangement promptly. Right now, We wowuldn’t want any more issue arising concerning this recrutiment program. The school only seek 15 teachers and you were so fortunate to be among the chosen candidates. We might probably advise you at this stage to wait for the school Director to get back and address this issue more properly before continuing with any of the arrangement. Hopefully, that will set every thing right and convince you about the school and any negative impression about them. We wouldn’t want any form of ungrateful manner to be exhibited by any one with a negative impression about the school. Execs Kindergarten College is a great school. So therefore, we have it reputation to protect.

We will wait to hear back from you again. Thanks once again for expressing your feelings and cautious.
