Hi

I have recently moved to Dubai and registered with the Monstergulf website.

After registering I was contacted by someone who stated they work for Monster and that they would distribute my CV to potential employers for a fee.

Does anyone else have any experience with this?
Has anyone been offered a job this way?

It seems dodge to me, I contacted monstergulf and they assured me I could proceed with the payment.

Thanks

It's a con and illegal in the UAE. Double check the email you responded to when contacting monstergulf, it will be part of the con too.

Thought it was a con, but the reply did come from info at monstergulf.
I've pasted a copy of their reply below, they appear to know it is going on?

Maybe Monster have introduced a new product or feature then. Personally speaking, I still wouldn't bother with it.

Yes I won't be taking up the offer!
