esljobtaiwan scam or not?

[liano]

I have recently finished an online TEFL/TESOL course and I am now looking for jobs both in Korea and Taiwan. I responded to a job advertisement on esljobs.com and in response received and email from the recruiter, a Mr Bryan Wu, asking for copies of my passport and education certificates. He appears genuine, pay and hours are what I would expect etc but I have heard about possible scams.

I was hopping someone might be able to clarify, if they have come across this name or not?

he also offers a phone line and a Skype contact.

in addition if anyone can offer me advise on job placement companies for schools in taiwan it would be much appreciated.

As long as he's not asking for money and/or original degree certificates, should be OK.

It should be ok. He probably just wants to speed up the application process for an ARC.

WHO IS BRYAN WU? HE IS A MONEY MAKING CROOK. HIS TONGUE IS FORKED LIKE AN ENDLESS RIVER. BRYAN ALSO LIKES TO DISCRIMINATE FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS. I HAVE FOUND HIS NAME IN A LOT OF FORUMS...
