Core Elements dubai interview call & commission money

i have been shocked to see the so many complaints on core element dubai after i went through the same process of cheating!
this company has not changed still! they called me for an interview and then one of the lady by name Afshan has told me to come with her and asked some basic silly questions! On that moment i end up paying AED 300/- for their services which i did not request ! after reading these comments i felt really cheated!
so i ask every one of you who get the call from this company core element do not take it serious and if you go also do not pay single penny! they are real cheaters

I have also been cheated of AED 300 of my hard earned money by Core Elements. Ms. Sheikh, the interviewer, asked some vague questions and asked me to pay AED 300 towards their help for finding a good job and building my CV for consideration of one of their big clients in Dubai. This was on 20th March 2011. I am sure they buy data people's from somewhere and use the mobile numbers to send interview messages. I did suspect them initially but seeing lot many people who came to interview, I thought they might be a prestigious company and so I paid. Now I have been calling them on their customer service number and mobile number from which they sent me the sms for a long time, have sent so many emails and tried to fax them (their fax number is fake), but nobody is responding. Such people must be punished and put behind bars by Dubai Government authorities as they cheat innocent and unsuspecting job seekers. ARUN AHUJA SHARJAH

Thank you very much for your comments which were very useful to me as this company just called me today and wanted to interview me tomorrow morning. After calling me they sent me the following sms: "Core Elements on behalf of the client. Office #2309, 23rd Floor, Grosvenor Commercial Office Tower, same Tower as Noor Islamic Bank, before Crown Plaza Hotel, Sheikh Zayed Road, Dubai (near World Trade Center metro station). Date: 26th March 2011, Saturday. Contact no. [protected]/[protected]. Interviewer: Ms. Sheikh. Wish you all the best!" Of course I'm going to skip this interview now.

Core Elements Dubai is doing nothing for the job seekers. They have given an account in their website to check with the recent openings. Till date from last 3.5 Years, I did never receive even a call for an opening or any technical training etc. They have again called me to my mobile asking to join again. they made me mad to tell that I have already registered with you. Their contract costs AED 200.00 and values nothing.
They are exploiting people who seeks job.

Bismillah. I got a call on Thursday, and asking to attend an interview on Friday. I was puzzled and asked them how is it possible that they work on Friday also. Then in such a short notice I went to attend the interview. And without suspecting them I paid 300 dhs. Luckily my cousin called me and I informed him of the interview, only to know that its a scam. I didn't gave a second thought, went back and demanded to refund my money, which I got immediately. Alhamdulillah.

Hi,
I got a call this morning from [protected] from a lady who was talking nervously so quick as if she wants to through the words and hang up she told me that I have an interview tomorrow ( in Jebel Ali ) '' I think so'' because I couldn't understand what she said & then I told her it's going to be '' Friday'' she said yes we work on Fridays, I asked her to send me an email for all these details but she said no I'll SMS you with details I suspected her call & tried to call her back but the same mobile was disconnected. So I decided to google the company's name given by her which was ''Core Elements '' trying to find out something about them & thank God I found your comments.
By the way beware also from '' Monster Gulf '' too I think It's the same as someone called me this morning too from this number +[protected] asking for $180 to proceed my resume if I want to find a job & when i asked him why didn't you mention these fees on your website or news papers' adds he hanged up the phone.
Thanks a lot

Dear All,

Please be informed that this so called CORE ELEMENTS is previously known as DISTINCTIVE CHOICE and the owner is the Syrian guy named ANAS AL HABAL. All of their doing is totally SCAM the moment you applied for their advertised position they will give you a call and give you their location map. They have 2 offices, one on Sheikh Zayed Rd. and the other one is located in Deira. They will ask you some ### question and bottom lime of the story is they will tell you that they have 2 database, Member and Non-Member. normally they are collecting AED 100 for the membership fee but now they have upgraded their scam to AED 150 as additional scam. One of the lady who have been famous for this scam is AFSHAN SHAIKH (Indian National) the benefits of being a member is you will be having access to their site and your application will be prioritize which never happens coz the user name and password never works and your application will NEVER be prioritize. and don't even fall for the TRAINING which they normally says once you didn't get an employment after 6 mos. for being a member...all of this is a BIG scam. As fot the vacancy that they've been advertising only 10-15% of them are existing and the rest is a SCAM. this is totally proven so don't ever fall for this once.

Dear Friends
Yesterday on 28 march 2011 I was called and asked to come to interview, I already experienced this kind of fake agencies before but I said that I will go, at 9:00 am I was there sitting and waiting along with 5 more people, they also came for the same position, right at that time I start to speak about fake companies and how do they cheat people, I said that I had experienced it before, also that they have hidden cameras and microphones in the waiting room, so I said you will see I came 5th, but because of my talking they will call me first, so it happened, there was that girls Fawzana Sheikh, and she asked me 300 AED, which I refused to pay and left the room, they did not allow me to go the waiting room, I was trying to tell to the guys who were waiting when they will be cheated.
I can’t believe that this CHEATERS still doing their fake things, I just don’t understand how many liars are working there, and I think they will have a lot of profit as long as somebody will do something with them.
Please leave your comments

In one of a job seekers site (now I cannot remember) I entered for a job as Logistics Manager. Today I got a telephone call from 055/9204943 asking to attend a interview for the above job. She gave me appointment between 05 to 07 pm on thursday the 10.03.2011. When I ask she told me that she is from Core Elements and her name is Jane and office number is 04/3277266. When I repeat asking that is this a recruitment office, she replied "we are core elements". Then she guide me the location of the office as Shaikh Zaid Road, before Crown Plaza hotel, Noor Islami Bank building, 23rd Floor, Office No. 2309. When I ask to whom meet with interview, she replied "Shaikh". At 01.55 pm she sent message of the above detail to my mobile. I am a professional Administrator and thought of searching Core Elements in web I happened to brouse this site and read the grieveness of the hunderds of jobless candidates and their loss of time and money. God helped me who drag me to this site, other wise I will drive Dubai and waste 2 hours petrol, time and money.

Core Elements dubai Scam

Well, Firstly they call you up on weekends, secondly, none of their numbers are working. I did not register my resume with them, nor did I apply for a position with them. I asked for a detailed job description, could not get it online either. I called them up and was told to pay an amount for registration - and that in itself is illegal in Dubai.

I called a few reputed recruitment consultants in Dubai and had to hear that they had many similar incidents, needless to say I did not go for the interview...
Beware of agencies in Dubai who ask for money from applicants, and one more tip. Google any company that ask you for an interview.

I was called for an interview and paid a fee of 150 aed. I was told that somebody will call me for a training in Abu Dhabi i can attend. Nobody called and when i sent them email to ask for an explanation, no one got back to me. This is not ok.
I am a professional employee searching for a job, i don't need to waste my time driving to Dubai for nothing and in addition to that, they took my money...money that i do not have, since i'm jobless.
Someone should do something against this so called professional agency.

Core Elements dubai employment

Be aware that they call all the people on their data base without reviewing their C.V's they just tell you that you have been short listed and most of the time they dont even know what post one has applied for.you can prove this by uploading your c.v dont specify the job preference and when they call you just ask them what post will they be inteviewing you for, They dont care about quality or qualifications again you can also upload a very bogus C.V to prove this and eventually you will still get the call.all they want is to have as many people as they can to attend the interviews and hopefully pay the membership fee .The interviwers are also not qualified! Next time you get called in for an interview by core elements think twice and make the right choice!All the best.

today Friday i got a call from [protected] I was not able to pick the call as i was in Prayer at that time. later when i saw the missed call i called them back but there was no answer. after few mins i got a call from same number saying I am shortlisted for an interview and should attend an Walk-in interview at their Shaik Zayed road office near WTC Metro Station. i asked her whether it is for IT Manager post or Network Engineer? she took a min and said it is for Network Engineer. then i asked who is the client for which she did answer anything. and changed the topic saying she will send me a message about the location and asked for my convenient time to attend the interview. then i said i will be available after 11:30 for which she said not problem i will schedule it by 1. then she disconnected the line and after some time i got the msg also. One thing kept bothering me how come a consultancy work on friday. i ignored it and was looking for the company information in google. got the website. but could not get the map to reach there then while browsing i go a post saying core elements scam. i opened it and read then realized its a fake. then started to browse couple more posts about CE. to my surprise not even one post was positive about them. guys be carefull of these frauds. if you are looking for consultancies one of my friend got a job through IT People an Indian placement firm in G Floor Building no 1 in DIC . I am still waiting for a response from them for any openings in Network and security. They didn't ask for any money from me or my friend. their website is http://itpeoplegulf.com

I got exactly the same call and the sms. I had concerns regarding this like the interview on Friday, not disclosing the name of the company and not even asking a single word about the background, still I was thinking of giving it a try. However, after reading this I must admit that its a scam and they are conning people. I wonder why the police hasn't taken any action yet against them openly involved in fraud. So, people don't fall a victim to this. I've been lucky to do some research before going there.

Thanks a lot guys i just got a call earlier & I was searching for a Google map to see the location before i get there, but then I stumbled upon your scraps & now decided that I wont go there. I had earlier tried to call back the lady who called me but she wont pick it, the number of the interviewer given was [protected], Name - Ms Afshan.
So friends Beware! I received the call from [protected] (a lady was on the phone as well).

This company is a scam, yet Gulf News Appointment has placed many job ads on behalf of them despite of many people complaining about their scam. please dont give them 100 dhs or 150 dhs which they usually ask for, they are only making money on you. They do not have any real jobs to offers anyone, they just make up fake interview calls and ...you are never...
