April 2011 - NEW REPORTS OF SCAM EMAILS!
It has come to our attention that some people may be receiving bogus job offers from people appearing to be New Frontiers.
We are aware of several scams but there may be more. Candidates are reminded to be ultra careful and to note that New Frontiers would NEVER request payment to register with us or to have you pay travel expenses. As well, you will never receive emails from us from Hotmail, Live, Yahoo, etc.
