Core Elements dubai review: job scam 484

I also just got a phone call. First question was: "Has anyone from CORE ELEMENTS called you already? It is regarding your job application". I'm seeking for a new job but have never send them anything and I couldn't recall their name. So I was already wondering where they got this information from.

The (indian?) lady even asked for what job I applied. What is this? According to the lady, they have all kind of jobs which I told her what I'm looking for and all of them are in Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. That's even more strange, sounds too good.

Any time tomorrow at their Sheikh Zyed Road office in Dubai, I just have to choose and their client will be there as well.

The lady wants to send me a SMS today. I asked to get it per mail but she can't do it because she is not in front of her PC. Oh, oh

I did't trust what was going on and things were too strange, so I googled and thanks to all posters here I will not waste my time and money tomorrow.

Thank you for all messages that i've received from you all concerned about the COREELEMNETS conducting false interviews. i've been received now cphone call also that i've been interview in behalf of clients, same Indian lady talked me to report tommorrow at the sheik zayed road Dubai near Crown plaza hotel. So be aware all those person received same message. Godbless you all, especially my Filipino workers.

my husband just received a call an hour ago..according to the caller, he has an interview for a WAREHOUSE SUPERVISOR.
i tried to call the no.that called him and i talked to an indian man, he gave me the exact location, correct me if im wrong it is on the 23rd floor the same building of COSTA coffee shop near LIFE PHARMACY, KFC and CROWN PLAZA.thei
of course you would want to know which company called your husband for an interview, i searched the net and my shoulder fall down knowing that this CORE ELEMENTS is a FAKE COMPANY based on what i have read in this site. just to be sure once more, i called them again and another person answered to me, an indian Lady, i asked their website and she hesitated to give it to me and she just said that she will just send to me the location.i told her that i already know the location and i just want to know what is their company's background.
i tried to call for the 3rd time i talked to ANOTHER PERSON AGAIN and HE DENIED THAT THAT IS CORE ELEMENTS COMPANY.I AM 100% SURE THAT I DID'NT DIALED THE WRONG NO.i just hang him up after telling that i will report their company in DUBAI MUNICIPALITY..AND I WILL DO IT!THEY ARE REALY PESTING EVERY JOB SEEKERS LIFE.

PINK FEATHER

I also got a call from this scam company, sadly theydo not know that I am already working in a reputed recruitment consultancy and aware of the whole process of recruitment and interview process. I happened to opt for background check of this call, they are not ready to disclose the company details and cannot send a mail...And Voila, here comes dozens of complaints of this scam... Thanks you all for the warnings and messages.The Govt doesnt seem t be taking strict actions...

OMG! I am scheduled to have an interview with them later this morning! For whatever reason I decided to google them when I woke up and this complaints board is just a portion of the negative reviews I have found on them.. the filipina lady called me 2 days ago asking whether I could come in for an interview the next day- I remember thinking to myself this is seriously short notice and I was busy the next day anyway. So I requested her to reschedule for any other day during the week and ever so easily she rescheduled! So last night just as i was falling asleep I recieve a text from the same company Core Elements from a 4 digit number. I thought to myself well this is a premium service from Etisalat so they seem rather credible! what nonesense, Im writing to 7 days as well as every editor I have in my contacts list. This should not be allowed to continue! No one should have to pay the recruitment company anything to be interviewed. I ideally the company that is offering the job should be the ones paying the recruitment firm for their services! On top of that If you do pay Core Elements there is no guarantee that you will get the job! What scammers these people are! Thank God I smartly saved myself over 100 dhs i would have had to pay for taxis!

My interview is scheduled to be taken place on 26th July with CE. As i luckily reside closer to them, i thought of attending the interview even after hearing from you all guys. This is the 1st interview call since i have visited Dubai from India. So it's better to attend and get warmed up for future interviews. Instead of paying them am gonna have a cup of tea from them and say thanks for their time practicing me and especially for the tea.

My regret to people who paid money. The golden rules of Warren Buffet for investing applies here too. 1. Don't lose money, 2. Don't forget the Rule no. 1

i am gonna prepare for the job interview (where there is no job exist).

Thanx

this ia really a fake company.i've got a call from a girl named jill and guess what this girl doesnt even know how to speak english welli can't help but laughingwhile she's speaking to me .and her accent is really a mess.i know about this company but i never bother to tell her.i dont want to waste my time talking to people like this.for the person whi hired this girl...if you want to trick people for a fake interview hire people who speaks professionally.such a shame!

Afsana sheikh is cute girl, she is ready for every thing. why dont u go with her becoz u paid her

I have had a bitter experience with this really stupid company.. these guys are frauds... lost almost a day... Aria, I guess you work for them, if so, please stop conning people... they send you SMS or cal, but if you call back no one answers, staying without a job is difficult, and conning someone for that misfortune is even worse. this is not a good way of earning a living...

Dear All,

Everything here mentioned is 100% true. Day before yesterday I received call from them for an interview. And I attend the interview yesterday. All formal things finished and after that they asked me AED.300 for modifying my CV. I dont know real fact of this company. But I said give me one day time. After I return back to room, I check about that company, Thanks a lot for all of them who were written their stories.

ONCE AGAIN THANKS FOR POSTING THEIR STORIES.

sa mga kababayan ko na mga filipino ang CORE ELEMENT ay isang recruitment agency na huwad at walang ginawa kundi maningil lang ng pera. ang totoo poh nyan wala silang trabaho paasahin ka lang napaasahin hangang manawa ka na lang .
Wag po tayong paluloko sa companyang ito

Namamalasakit

I guess i'm lucky enough to read all your complaints. I had to go back to sleep now and forget about my interview.
Thank you all guys for this site. this is really very helpful.

Can anyone tell me that there is some free lance recruiter who take advanced AED 1000 and distribute the CV in different companies. Once candidate hire he/she will then submit full one pay in three installment. Can anyone know then share with me

COMPLETELY FAKE!

Since more than a year am waiting for an interview call/e-mail...They called me 1 year back in March 2009 (when i was on visit visa) & compelled to pay AED 150 for some kind of membership. The lady told me without having membership you wont get a job through Core Elements.

I must say they have opened a [censor] business in the name of consultancy/Recruitment company just to make people fool & get money from them for no reason...

I really dont understand how & why UAE Govt. let such companies subsist here to do this kind a business & not taking necessary actions against them.

Hoping to stop this scam...

i was called too by this company...this is scam...i totally disagree with Ms Aria...infact i think she is one of the staff of this fraud company...so shes trying convince people over here...

Guys ...one more experience to share ...my carlift aunt's daughter was called from CE saying that they are calling from noor Islamic bank, HR dept and that there is a immediate vacancy.This girl went over there and all those usual things happened but the only difference this time was that they were speaking as though on behalf of the bank(b'coz its on the same building of noor islamic bank and the banks name z quite noticeable and people get a feeling of the same and they dont check on the net before comming). I had actually informed her mom about this fraud company long back and she indeed had discussed with her daughter .so when they asked for aed 300 she didnt give..thats the good thing that happened but seriously its really sad that no action has been taken till now after so much of complaints and they are doing this so called "bussiness" without any fear.

Even I lost my 150 AED.One Indian young Indian lady interviewed me and said for sure they will give me a job.Upto seven months I have never received a call from them from the date of payment.PLEASE DO NOT GET CAUGHT.

I feel bad for you mate... but honestly I just cant stop giggling..sorry

I hope people do their homework before attending an interview with any company. No one has too lose money only if they are well informed or at least have enough common sense to use GOOGLE. DUH..

LMAO @ SOUSOU

I 100% agree with you "Sunil1005". it looked weired to me from the beginnening, any company ask for interview, it would send you an email explaining the vacancy and so. but this company has no contact details, their number is busy throughout the day and what you said in your comments above happened with me exactly.

Thats why I felt its scam, but I went to check. I weared jeans and Tshirt because i didn't beleive in that company, anyway, There the receptionest knows nothing. The interviewer asked me for the CV and I told here that "you already have it and you told me thats i'm shortlisted so it's in your system", she tried to pick up the CV from different files becasue the system is down today "and everyday". she asked some stupid questions as a part of interview while she trying to get my Cv, I explained my overall experience in 30 Sec. she told me our client "Kanon" which is in hospitality looking for a person and this skills suatable for you. Kanon received 100, 000 CV, then it shortlisted to 1, 000 then it sent them to us and we make them only 5 CVs, you are one of them, so in order to get the job we will amend your CV according to the requirments by paying 300 AED and you will get the job, I told her then you will do the same with other candidates. Definitly she didn't answer my question. Thanks god I paid nothing for them, and this company is SCAM company.

GUYS JUST THINK, THERE IS NO CONTACTS AT ALL, NO TELEPHONES NO EMAILS, NOTHING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM.

"Sunil1005" I agree with your search and conclusions and this is what everyone will see there.

ALL THE BEST RIZA...CHASE THEM...

Dear Riza

I agree with sujatha ...Please act fast otherwise they would have lot of excuses to tell ...please get your money back.

DEar Riza

Feel bad that still not able to stop these people from cheating many innocent jobseekers.

Read Page 14 n 15 of this complaint board - act accordingly

Go smooth but act soon - u will get ur money back

All the best

Sujatha

I HAVE BEEN TO CORE-ELEMENTS YESTERDAY AND THEY HAVE ASKED ME FOR 300 DHS. THEY SAID THAT IT'S NOT PAYMENT BUT IT WILL BE FOR THE CHARGE FOR CALLING THE EMPLOYER FOR ME AND MYSELF INDEED! ANDI WAS SO INNOCENT... I PAID 200 HS IN ADVANCE BEACAUSE I GOT ONLY 300 DHS. WITH ME! AND THEY SAID TO SEND THE 100 DHS THROUGH WESTERN UNION AS SOON AS I ARRIVE ABU DHABI... I HAVE DOUBTED COZ 1 OF MY FRIENDS SAID THAT THEY'RE ONLY MAKING MONEY NOT ONLY ON ME... OH! WHAT A TRASH DEED! ANY HELP HOW TO GET MY 200 DHS. BACK?... IT IS NOT FAIR!

Even I lost my 150 AED.One Indian young Indian lady interviewed me and said for sure they will give me a job.Upto seven months I have never received a call from them from the date of payment.PLEASE DO NOT GET CAUGHT.

Bob,
Just take print of some comments against them posted on this site(if possible)
This way u can show the innocent candidates that you have proof against them...
when they will make u sit in a hall, there u get this chance...one imp thing is that they core elements has stopped giving refund...so try to save money (as much as u can) of innocent jobseekers...
ALL THE BEST...

Hi BOB

one thing what you can do is pass this info to the candidates who come there and ruin their bussiness. Atleast let not others get into their trap

just got the call and saw the page:) i told them i will go fro the interview after 2morow coz 2omorow i can't so they said they will call me 2morow for confirmation.I need your ideas to trick them and to laugh like they did for all...send your suggestion...
Thx guys to post before i go
BOB

Hema,
May be u r right...
they are getting smarter as so many people have already refunded their money...

I tried him from a different No...neither he picked up nor he called back on the Number...either its my bad luck or these guys might be keeping an eye on this forum ...

ok i would give a last try...i would call hime tomrw...

Thanks you all of your concern, support and advise ...

Dear Hema,

I read your comment & really felt bad as almost same thing happened with me. I really want to help you.. Trust me do one last try the way I tell you

Call THE OWNER, ANAS AL HABBAL from a different number once or twice on [protected]/[protected].
If he is not responding don’t worry he will cal you back. When you speak to him be VERY POLIT & tell him the story what all they did with you & didn’t give you what they promised.
Most imp tell him U DIDN’T RECEIVE THE CV. Bcoz if they can cheat then we can also lie a bit.
The owner is usually travelling & he will not investigate he will just give you a time when to go & collect the money back. The owner is very nice & kind will surly help you to get back your money.

Sunil got his money back even I got my money after speaking to Mr. Anas Al Habbal

Good Luck & I pray you also get back your money
