After that they dont cal u and u will b fooled around.
GUYS its total SCAM consultancy please dont go and waste ur time and MONEY! Y Dubai governtment is not taking any action? They dont even have prper TRADING LICENSE!

Choice is ursss

Thanks guys for all your warned messages, i got a call from them too and so strange their the one asking for my availability to come for my interview and the manager willing to wait for me?...good thing i checked the profile of this company before going there and i found this all messages. You are all my savior for not wasting my time.

This is really disturbing...Now I am in a catch 22 situation.
Needless to say, I too got a call from Core Elements Crown Plaza, Dubai, later followed by an SMS.
I asked about the job requirements but I was told its as per my CV. Then I asked what version of CV do you have? and I was told the top line from my experience...

What surprises me is, how are they running such fraudulent business/scam, if soooo many people have showed their anger and negative feedback about this company? Does the govt know what these people are doing? What if any influential person is the owner of the company?

Thank you so much for this post! I just had a call from them asking me to go to their office in Sheikh Zayed Rd.Call was cut because my cell ran outa batt.I only remembered this Max guy telling me about their consultancy named Core Elements.Was calling him back but nobody's picking up.This is the number he used- [protected]. So i googled them and this complaintsboard came out.

Can't thank you guys enough.

Lat us keep on updating each other to STOP and IRRADICATE these FRAUD consultancies.

I was been interviewed by certain ashole lady name Ms. Ashfan (ashole) Shaikh as i pronounce, Because of curiosity and why this company exist and no action taken even too much complaints about this company? So that time i was waiting for my friend near that crown plaza hotel where they office was. I'm trying to figure out this agency, I wait for almost 1 hour of fuc...g ### to interviewed. Then this certain Ms. ### shaikh called my name, we have a good question and answer portion asking my expertise and experience, then she ask me that if i want to be member so my papers will be process, i had to pay 150AED. ;p i smile and told this ### lady, "You said a while a back that certain company is looking for my credentials and found my CV and called your agency to set for an interview?" She reply yes and then why they telling me that in the near future membership can help if i will be a member of core elements for paying 150aed?

It so clear that during my interview, that stupid agency i just collecting money from jobseekers...

one thing.. I have a good job and im not seeking for a small time job, i have a good CV that they can use too also so they can sell my resume out there... ;p look at the site advertisement they have ... buy CV... tsk tsk tsk tsk is multi cheaters company i known...

hi there
i also received a call this morning from this number [protected] inviting for an interview

Dear All,

Received a call this morning 10/Nov/2009 from Core Elements inviting for an interview, promising details shall be followed by a sms. Ironically, after so many complaints, this agency is still thriving in their scam and conning the innocent job seekers who were not lucky enough to go through this board.

Saved from conning

The procedure goes like this: A job seeker will recieved a call from CORE ELEMENTS informing that there is a job interview, they will then say all the information about the said "interview", they going to send an email as follow up info. On the day of interview it self, you will find in the venue many "job hunters" fall in line, waiting for their cue. when its your turn to be interviewed, in a different approach of conversation, they will just going to convinced you to buy their services by paying 150 dirhams, for a "promise job", with out telling any company name for the job they are promising. So the payment actually is for the additional training program that they are providing, but infact, that is not the main reason why the job hunter goes to that place, but to be interviewed for any job vacancy, not to be offered by any training program. Legally, thay are allowed to operate by the authority bacause they are fronting the training program that they are offering, but indeed, they invited a job seeker to go to their place for a job interview, once the job seeker attended the said scheduled job interview, that will be the chance of CORE ELEMENTS to convinced the job seeker to buy their training program services. So its obviously FRAUD, "fraud" in a sense that there is really no job vacancy, thay are offering a job which is absolutely LIE!
--- CORE ELEMENT VICTIM
melly
May the family and children of all persons involved in CORE ELEMENTS may go to HELL for the EVIL things that they are doing. Suffer your souls in fire!
BTW,
CORE ELEMENTS has changed their name to FUSION GROUP (as of this present time 11-2009). So please beware!

FRAUD!

The procedure goes like this: CORE ELEMENTS will give a call to a job hunter to inform that the job hunter is in their shortlisted candidates, they will give some information regarding some interview details such as the job hunter will be interviewed by them for a possible job vacancy. They will then be sending a follow-up e mail and SMS/text message.
On the day of interview at the given venue, you will observe that there are too many people, also known as "job seekers" are falling in line and waiting for their cue. Once they call the job seeker's name, that will be the start of a very pleasant conversation with the person (known as interviewer), until later on, the interviewer will divert the conversation to an offering of their very attractive services which is a "training program" actually. They will convince the job seeker to buy this offer for a chance of getting the job vacancy from unknown company. Since the job seeker waited for almost two hours for the promised job offer by CORE ELEMENTs, the job seeker will then be forced to buy the services by paying 150 dirhams just to consider the time they have waisted for waiting and for the disturbed whole day (considering the travel time and distance).
Actually, in legal way, they can operate legally because they are fronting their training program services. But in fact, it is obviously CHEATING. They invited the job seeker for an interview and a job vacancy offer, but it will end to paying for their services such as the training program. So where is the job vacancy?
This is absolutely FRAUD! Fraud in a sense that there is really NO JOB VACANCY.

May the family and children of the people involved in this EVIL act may suffer for the rest of their life.. Burn their souls to HELL.

Beware.. CORE ELEMENTS has changed their name, as of this present time, they are no FUSION GROUP.
The same strategies they are doing.

This company is still doing their nasty job though the authorities were informed and the same is published here. They still calling people, sending SMS. A man called me saying he is from Core Elements, asking whether I attended any interview before by these people. When I say no, he asked me to appear for an Interview the next day at office tower, Crowne Plaza Hotel and asked me what is my preferred time, that itself was surprise. Since I was not turned up the next day, I got a SMS after 30 minutes of the interview time, mentioning interviewer name is Ms. Mubina, location, contact number, their web site name and also mentioning my UPDATED CV, Strange).
Let the curse be on the entire team of Core Elements as they are cheating the desperate job seekers.

hey guys yes i agree core elements is fraud, dey r cheating people, asking for money i have been there i saw a guy who was from india on visit visa and visa was about to expire and dey told him to pay 150 dhs for training courses, i realized from dhr if his visa is going to expire and its not extentable how can dey charge him for short courses, so yes its a fraud and scam and dhr operator never transfers.so plz if u get msg on ur cell phones or u get a call from dhr dont ever vist dem...
thank you

i got a call from them, prior to going i researched and read all that is written here, so i went prepared.
first, when they called me, they told that i can come anytime i want, so i asked to book my time at 3PM and informed that i can not wait.
when i was there, first of all i was made to wait for 40 minutes, then i met one of the recruiters (i was suppose to meet jody van der byl - but instead some junior employee met me) who asked to have my cv (surprise surprise - i was told that my cv is so impressive that some senior manager wants to talk to me, and instead this lady, who didn't even know my name, forget about my experience or what i am looking for), then i asked details about the client - company that is supposedly going to hire me - here again, contradicting info.
however, the best part is when they asked me to pay 150$
i was this close to call police!

thank you for sharing this i will save some money 150dhs plust taxi that cost me...thank you guys...

Thanks Team,

I also received the same SMS and was planning to go for interview on 29thNov2009.
Thanks for this valuable inofrmation which rescued me from such fraud.

Beware of the following consultancies...

1) NEW FUTURE CONSULTANCY
2) Al AIDY AL MAHIRAH MGMT CONSULTANCY
3) AL NEJOOM CONSULTANCY
4) ILLAQAT MGMT CONSULTANCY...

These all are FRAUD! i personally visited them and paid a total of 1200 Dirhams in search of a job. But they are all Fraudsters.. Fake companys.. Fake interviews.. Please do not fall for them!

ouch !
u must've been desperate for a job :(

well, always better to drop by the HR depts and handover your CV's personally.
Waasta usually helps too :)

I've encounter the same story with you guys! we should do something to close this company and to stop there bad habit... is there anyway we can do to file them a case in Dubai ministry?

Hi,
These people really are fraud one sharjaj corniche, they asked me also money but I didn't give them as already I paid to Core Element people 150 dhs. So I fely something fishy.
Even I was going tomorrow to Royal Index. Thanks to u all.

Hi all.. i think these guys have been operating for ages now.. coz i received a similar call today from a lady called Sara from core elements..

I just did a google search, and thanks to this website i got to know about their scam..their reputation, the complaints about them precedes their company website!. Thanks to this forum, i didn't spend unnecessary time and money in this company.

M shocked about how they are still operating in dubai after cheating so many people...

thanks guys for the info. agencies like these have been a problem since then, but sad to say they still exists. Even worse these agencies cannot eradicate by UAE government, maybe they have some protectors perhaps influential people from the government themselves or the country?

all we can do is pray for these guys that their conscience be activated? haha. yes, they are also people with needs but not at other people's expense, in due time they will reap what exactly they sow. We have a God who is just, who is watching us and angry of things like these... it may not happen with them personally but they have families who can be the recipient of their corrupt actions.

thanks as well for this forum/blog or the owner of this site, greatly helps! Godbless you

I got a call today from [protected] from a girl with african accent, she said i am selected for an interview by their client in Abu Dhabi and they have asked them to conduct an interview on their behalf. She asked me the suitable time of interview and said that she will send me an SMS with details.

When i asked about the company name and job details she said sorry she cannot disclose company name its confedential, all this gave me a buzz and i thought of checking them out online, and then i saw this thread. Thanks to this thread i saved my travel time and money to go from Abu Dhabi to Dubai.

THIS IS A FAKE COMPANY. Core Elements SEARCHES GETS THE CONTACT INFORMATION FROM THE JOB SITES.

THERE IS NO POINT IN REGISTERING CASE WITH DUBAI POLICE. ALL OVER DUBAI YOU WILL FIND MANY SUCH CHEAT ALL OVER DUBAI.

ALL THOSE PAID ARE FOOLS.

Hi...I wanted to inform all of you reading this complaint blog...if anyone who got hired by core elements please speak up because until now i'm not quite sure if this is really a scam. Though a lot of comments I've read through are mostly scammed by them...Just to be fair, anybody who gets a job through core element, speak up...so readers will know the truth..

CORE ELEMENTS ARE EVIL! THEY ARE EXPLOITING THE JOBLESS PEOPLE AND THOSE WHO ASPIRE TO HAVE A BETTER FUTURE!

Im still neutral to the case, but cant really deny it being a scam for very obvious reasons,
i got a call from dubai no, [protected] yesterday, the lady claimed that she got my CV from a database and i asked if im interested to apply for an FMCG freezone company's financial controller, i said 'yes' and then she asked some general questions about me (mostly targeted to my expected salary), for most of the genuine firms the most important questions are centred towards qualification and the experience, and expected salary always comes in the context of current salary (the lady didnt ask me about my current package at all). I replied and informed her about my current salary adding that an increase of 40% over current package will attract me, she totally mis understood and said 'yes, the job gives higher than aed 14K? y, i dont know, but i didnt pay attention as i was driving back home then. (even in this recession, can i get 40% increase?)
she said, she will mail me address details and an email containing job description, i got sms containing appointmnent and address details but i got no email whatsover about job description. They refused to disclose name of the employer, which is quite common for hiring consultants so that didnt ring any alarm in my mind. I searched the company name on internet, reviewed it. website was impresive only one thing that i missed was that only cell no. mentioned on website was the same as that of Ms Khadija which i noticed later and then another that was quite strange was that membership fees mentioned in the website, i havent seen any genuine firm disclosing such petty membership fee. Although, AED 150 membership fee is something for the job seeker, but as the firm claims to give training and information against this fee (is it anually? or lifetime? the fee and the benefits?) AED 150 seems very minute figure keeping in the view other thinsg that u can buy for AED 150 in UAE. I suppose that this is nothing for a company having its office in grosvenor towers, i believe that consultancy fee that a genuine firm charges from the medium sized company for its sucessful finacial controller search must be atleast 50 times higher than this membership fee.
i started having gut feelings that something is fishy.. still i dint pay any attention.

the next day (means today) i called the number which was supposedly of the interviewer, her name as in the sms is Khadija Ishaq, but even on her cell fone, the same lady who called yesterday picked up fone said ms. khadija is busy in interviews (she could simply say she is busy, and isnt it strange to give ur fone for attending ur calls to ur receptionist?). I told her that i have interview today and havent got email of job description yet, she said, they will not provide any such description untill i appear at their office (hiding employer's name is understandable but whats the national secret about job description man?). I assured that i will reach their office today but then i searched on the net again and looked at other search results of core elements and i found this site's link.
I know some firms (for the secrecy of emplyer) conduct interviews in their offices rather than in employers premises but then the interview is conducted by the HR representative of the employer and not by the officer of hiring firm.
I thought to complain about them but then im no Sherlock Holmes myself and all my assumptions might have been baseless but i just decided not to go for interview as im not that desparate for job switch, but i strongly recommend guys to assess these points raised by me before deciding to go for it.
best of lucks

Thanks a lot for all this usefull informations, i just cancelled from my mind the appoitment with core elements cheaters...
It is an incredible how such employers at core elements still working by cheating people, this are no longer humans..., do they have enough peace of mind by earning unlawfull salarys ?there is no fear of God? Ahh..., they will soon stand for justice...

Thanks to Allah for inspiring me to browse on the wb informations about the core elements upon recieving the call to go for an interview,

you guys are very helpfull and i fell sorry for those who paid money and still with out a job..., may God guide us to the right place of work and to the right people...

I walked out of the interview calling them a bunch of frauds, and even telling a few folks on the way not to trust them.

Its easy peasy money! 150 x 10-15 job seekers equals to [protected] per day. x 25 days is easily enough to cover the rent and the unpolished suits they've hired as a cover up.

The funny thing is they won't tell you who the client is or how many clients they actually have, look at their website for clues. All a loada crap laden with business management lines and little or no facts. I did enquire the building security and they've been in that building for 2 years now

But the sad thing is, like the nigerian scam, iphone scammers, and every other scam thats too good to be true, people don't realise their gullibility and play into their phony job offers. One chap actually paid AED 150 to be hired by AL Tayer. Why's no one mad at these folks?

Even my husband got a call day before & yesterday asking him to come for an interview with core elements. Yesterday they told him that today is the last day for interview.
He was planning to go but i stopped him as i read about core elements online today.
Thanx a lot for ur help.

yes i got a job from core elements this is not a scam

Yes you are right. I had the an interview call from Core ellements in Dubai. I rushed to their office only to find it scandulous. The lady who intervied me sounded like a tape-recorder playing the same song everytime! She was very fluent and dressed in a western sexy office outfit. I was waiting for specific questions about my job area but to my serprice she explained EVERYTHING about her company (core ellements) and finally asked me just ONE question BASIC elementary question about my job area for a BIG PROMISSED SALARY! I couldnt beleive this stupid question by her could have earned a big time salary for me! She immediately took out a receipt book and started scribbling something in it and said my name out laud! I immediately jumped on my feet and said "WAIT! what are you doing?" for which she replied that it was some training fee or addmission fee or something and I will double my chances if I pay AED 150/- or so.

It was obvious for anyone with little commonsence that this company is making money from innocent people, unbeleivably at a time of recession!

People, please do not pay any fee to get a job at any agencies at least at this point of time when the whole GULF reagion is suffering from recession. They WILL NOT guarentee any job for you rather they promise to TRY to get something for you! BEWARE

Core element has its office in CROWN PLAZA office tower in Dubai (Probably Sh.Zayed street). BEWARE!
