JobsInDubai.com Scammed or NOT?
May 16, 2007
Not too much information on the company here but I did register and paid them a fee. Now I get e-mails constantly asking me for more money.
I have received ZERO leads and it has been well over 2 months now.
NOTE that I did receive an e-mail from jobsindubai.com from their "accepted" address:
It states that there is an IMPORTANT update and they then offer a web link to post into the address bar of your browser.
Excited to see what company is interested I do as they ask and guess what I get:
===============================================
Thank you for submitting your resume to Jobs in Dubai Inc. for this position. Your qualifications were a perfect match to the employer’s job request.
===============================================
After some more mumbo jumbo (none of which mentions anything about the job they are talking about) they go on to ask me to pay them some more money. They call it a DEPOSIT and the total is $34. US dollars.
I already paid them to send out my resume and was not aware they would then try to charge me again not to mention all the times they send me e-mails asking for more money.
Naturally I want to find out what companies I am a PERFECT match with but feel like I might be a little too naive if I buy into this strategy.
They also list their company in Canada at the following address:
Jobs in Dubai Inc.
51 Dundas St West, Suite 2027
Mississauga, Ontario, L5B 1H7
Canada
This is in case you need to send them payment with a check. Which I find interesting as it seems the employer I am a perfect match for has all the time in the world to wait for me to pay Jobsindubai.com and then move forward with interviews etc.
To further cause frustration I have e-mailed numerous times to this company asking for explanations and or details or even just some friendly customer service. I have gotten ZERO replies. However I still get lots of e-mails asking for more money.
I can't say this is fraud although I FEEL that it is. The Web site is believable and I thought I was doing the professional thing by hiring this company. I thought about just offering someone a finders fee for hooking me up with the right company (like $1,000) but not sure if that is legal in Dubai although I hear that most jobs are achieved through word of mouth and friends already in the companies.
In any case I am not happy with the service I was hoping to be well ahead of the game by now. If anyone knows of a great strategy or service then please forward it over to me. My next strategy is to simply head to Dubai and spend a month dealing with the issue of finding employment head on.
If you are in the industry please feel fee to pass on my resume - they are available on line at the following links:
