Just last month BTV reported that about 30 foreigners were arrested because they were doing illegal internships that they paid a 3rd party broker a few thousand dollars to hook up for them. The only legal internships for foreigners in China are the ones you get for free directly with the company tha...

From what I understand this new law only pertains to the foreign school chains (like Disney, EF, Wall Street, etc and all the private and online tutors) The illegal Chinese schools are still hiring foreigners if you are willing to risk getting arrested, jailed and deported.

Two of by TEFL colleagues just resigned from Best Learning after finding out they had fake taxes deducted from their pay for the last 9 months. I am so glad I turned down their offer. There is a lot of complaints about them at https://reddit.com/r/TEFLreviews and also https://reddit.com/r/China-Job_...

Btw... many of them are not even in the country where they are recruiting and rely on virtual disposable telephone numbers, emails, and some even invest in a web site. They do all their interviews on Skype. Some invest in spoofing software and you will never have any clue where they really are.

These moles seem to me multiplying all over the internet and they have taken it it to the next level. Now they post a really great job ad that links to their forum that will give their own mobile number which is presented as number for an HR director at a famous international school or university. T...

I heard recent rumors that these guys are now using a bunch of phony names to bait newbies so when they try to do some due diligence, they simply do not show up anywhere online. Here are three alias names I was told they are using for online job ads: China Rainbow English Rainbow English China TEFL ...

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/iEUjdYjifbYVXALM5117Ajr9urx8DnNnMzi3drE3weM.png Just a head's up to all my TEFL colleagues that this original complaint from a former employee unleashed a storm of posts that are now being censored by a paid hacker. So have a read and share this with every expat you...

I think most of us expats take this resume thing for granted and since we are not rich we think no identity thief would be interested in us. After I read up this at economic crimes law enforcement forum i now realize that is not true at all. With our personal information they can get enough credit ...

https://www.opnlttr.com/sites/default/files/shocked-man.jpg It's true the second biggest scam artist and owner of the second oldest expat scam in China that specifically only targets fellow expats is a Russian guy NOT a Chinese. Like teacher John said, greed is powerful and from what I have seen, m...

I did a lot of homework on this topic at https://reddit.com/r/cftu and found the below which makes it very easy to spot a fake or shady, or illegal employer in China. If they cannot send you a high-resolution color scan of their SAIC business license and SAFEA registration like those below (not a ph...

Well I did some homework on this topic at https://reddit.com/r/cftu and found this below which makes it very easy to spot a fake or shady, or illegal employer in China.

It is very easy to spot a fake or shady employer in China. If they cannot send you a high-resolution color scan of their SAIC business license and SAFEA registration like those below (not a photocopy or low-resolution scan which are easily photo-shopped) they are undoubtedly a scam and you should no...

https://media.salon.com/2010/11/what_beijings_horrendous_traffic_jams_say_about_green_energy.jpg First the good news...I just read in the CTA newsletter that a foreigner can still bring one car into China tax free without expensive duties and fees. But the bad news is that in 2022 that law will cha...

I'd be willing to bet that every black market visa, job, and recruiter agent outed by the CFTU over the last 10 years has probably posted a similar post as this OP. I did a little math... Let's say an online forum recruiter snags just one victim per week with a job placement that pays the teacher 1...
