Jobs In Dubai - Jobsindubai.com - JID Network Bogus Job website rip off, rip-off, ripoff! Internet

I was considering moving to Dubai, since a friend already lives there, and I signed up at this website for $34 US. My friend and I were both shortlisted for jobs. The process is supposed to take 1-4 months. It's been over a year, with no response.

Furthermore, my friend paid the additional fee for special "Dubai specific" resume formatting (which is online and very simple, and should not cost at all - a red flag), after which he discovered (after making a few phone calls and searching the Internet) that the company has numerous complaints against it, and has - as far as anyone legitimate can tell - never gotten anyone a job.

They go so far as to have someone call you (if you've paid for additional services) and pretend to interview you over the phone for a position that is imminent. This keeps the facade of an actual service, and then they request more money.

I'll admit, the website is official looking, and they say that they are a proud member of the Toronto Board of Trade, and a couple of other organizations. Don't be fooled. Service providers must be trustworthy, reputable, and responsive, because everything they do is based on trust and professionalism. They are still on the website because most people don't even realize that they have been scammed - they just think they didn't have a good enough work profile to get hired!

They do not answer their phones, although they sometimes answer e-mails. You have to wait at least 6 months for a refund, and the refund process itself takes a couple of more months. Most people give up (for a mere $34 US/$47 CAD) rather than waste the time and energy to get the money back.

Avoid jobsindubai.com. They are a scam!
