Scam Alert - Do not trust the TEFL or ESL Teacher Job Ads At ESLCafe.com

According to a bunch of teachers and China Scam Patrol, about a third of the ads advertised at Dave's ESL Cafe are posted by known fraudsters that are blacklisted by the CFTU and a half dozen ESL message boards for years.

As you can see at this scam.com link, this has been an ongoing problem for years and only now are they getting caught in the act. http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?685391-Scam-Warning!-ESLCAFE-COM-deletes-fraud-alerts-amp-complaints-about-it-s-advertisers-daily&p=1888727&posted=1#post1888727

So if your passion is teaching, avoid ESLCafe.com and you will earn twice as much money since Dave's is taking a big slice of the salaries meant for teachers.
You are right OP. People are still complaining and I found out the hard way as well. When I complained that one of the "employers" was asking me for information they really did not need (banking references & my social insurance number) I was ignored. So I posted a complaint right in their forum that I think that ESL HR is really an identity thief and warned everyone to be super careful, I got deleted within 15 minutes! So I did some research online and found a bunch of problems with that website like this http://www.realscam.com/f8/scam-alert-public-warning-do-not-trust-eslacafe-real-jobs-accurate-information-fraud-4456/

So I went back to post a question asking about all these complaints, and this time all 32 of my posts were deleted and I was blocked from signing back in! Then I got a message that says I am banned!
