North Bright American School (NAS) Might be the Sketchiest School in Cambodia [Warning To Female Teachers]
From the Cambodia Scammers Facebook Page:
ALERT for all teachers / teacher assistants in the Phnom Penh area (especially female!):
So I have 2 weeks to kill before this new management job starts with a great established school in January. I'm bored, looking for something to fill my time till then. I applied at a bunch of B-rated schools, one of them called "NAS". On the job advert (legit bongthom.com type site) there was no address, no information about the school, etc.
I called the number listed and a Bangladeshi (his words) guy named "Alex" talked to me. He would not give me the address, no school information provided, he insisted I get on a moto and he would give directions to "his place". I insisted that if he just gave me the school address I'd know the area. He asked "Cool cool, fine so you know where Wat (muffled sounds) is then?" I said, "No, is there another landmark nearby?" He replied "Hahaaaaa well of COURSE you don't, of course you don't know, wow, I know it is hard with the woman and the directions hahaha!"
At that point I hung up the phone. Tonight I got a text from him at 8pm saying the following "You must meet me at my place at 8:30, give your phone to the moto taxi or you don't get the job." I'll edit my language of choice but my response was essentially: "I do not have to meet you anywhere. I don't care who you are or if this is for a job, no legit employer would demand a late night interview with a female at "his place" with 30 minutes notice and no address. I'll alert the police if you ever contact me again."
My advice - do not mess with this shit hole. You can see by their Facebook alone, a whole 18 likes, no western staff, no website or ANY marketing information provided, and no kids... seems as legit as everything I experienced. Especially given that the email I was corresponding by was only weirdo "alex" and who was the only one to contact me, and the official school address is [email protected] "somewhere near Russey Keo".

Well AIA seems to reckon Northbright are OK. I have no idea about them myself. The ad looks genuine, but don't know that website. What she reports seems creepy. 8.30 PM?Jamie_Lambo wrote:ahhh, as in like using their advert(as a fake) and using his contact details?juansweetpotato wrote:The OF says it is not North Bright but some shyster.Jamie_Lambo wrote:yeah it is pretty creepy tbh

I have had ELT phone ask me to go for an interview at 7.30 am before. I asked them politely if they had any later times available and they said. '"Well we don't need you anyway, we have plenty of teachers" then he put the phone down. No, Cambodians aren't rude. lol
Anyhow

The site is similar to BongThom.com and they've been posting ads 3+ years that I can remember.juansweetpotato wrote:Well AIA seems to reckon Northbright are OK. I have no idea about them myself.

Anyhow opcorn:
Haha, ELT is a hilarious "school."
I dropped off a CV there once. Had a missed call before I got home 15 mins later. They asked if I could come in for an interview at 5. I got there and they skipped the interview and asked if I could just hang around to teach at 530pm.

That must have been the old days. I had to go through a western style interview with an Aryan Khmer looking down on me from an elevated platform.

Are you saying she's lying, someone else called and she's confused, or what?
