RIGHT ON TARGET ALAN! I RECEIVE SEVERAL, TOO MANY, AND THEY ALL STATE MY CONTACT DETAILS AND CV WITH EXPERIENCE THEY RECEIVE THROUGH WEBSITES, TOTAL BS! THERE IS A PRIVACY ACT, AND WHEN I CONFRONTED THE WEBSITES, THEY ALL DENIED ACCESS TO PROFILES!
DOUBT HIGHLY THAT SOMEONE WITH AN EXPAT NAME IS HR DEPT. MGR. OR A TRAVEL AGENCY MGR. IN THE UAE, I MAY BE WRONG, BUT USUALLY NOT! NOT ONE MENTION THROUGH GOOGLE SEARCH, AND NOT REGISTERED ON LINKEDIN, WHICH USUALLY IS A STRONG INDICATION, IT'S A SCAM, AND I WOULD NEVER EVER PAY UPFRONT VIA WU. THROUGH Removed FOR A VISA! SO SCREW THEM! : THESE ASSHOLES NEED TO BE REPORTED TO POLICE AUTHORITIES!
