They have been doing these sting operations since 2014. But lately they have gotten a lot more agrressive with the social media and even putting fake job ads on Craiglist, The Beijinger, Echinacities, Sinocities, and even ESLCafe. The ads are for high-paying fake jobs that do not exist. When teacher...

This smelled a bit fishy to me so I did some digging and found them blacklisted at a few places.

For anyone working in China without a Z Visa you had better avoid job ads that look too good to be true. It seems the China visa police (PSB) are posting these ads all over the place, even on Twitter, and using Facebook recommendations too. I just got my CSP newletter and saw that 29 foreign teacher...

I found this in my China Scam Patrol newsletter and thought it was worth sharing with all of you... Actually this warning applies to anyone seeking ANY job or internship in China, the land of endless scams. To be fair, about half of the scam artists in China are now fellow foreigners but those that...

The problem is the agents and recruiters do not explain these things to the newbies and they find out like these 49 teachers who got to spend their Christmas in a Chinese jail. http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/962377.shtml

I suspect someone new is using the old company name and possibly bought the old license from a registered agent that was real back in 2007 and probably was not around long enough to acquire a good or bad reputation. By reinstating or renewing the license, they can falsely claim a 8 year "track ...

Since June of 2013, you can now look up the SAIC business licenses of legitimate businesses in China but you will need a Chinese friend to help you since it is all in English at the SAIC government web site (see OP for link) No Chinese friend? Then go to these sites and you will make it really hard ...

We all know that China makes the best fake designer bags, shoes, and sunglasses, but China Scam Patrol just found 319 web sites peddling fake China jobs or real crappy teacher jobs using fake testimonials and reviews. According to their report 30% of all the jobs advertised are fake just to get you ...

Scam.com and others are now reporting that the well-polished telemarketers with the private internship companies in China are claiming the laws have been changed. In fact, no changes were made since 2013 and the free internships are still the only legal ones bu they have to be pre-approved by the PS...

Racism is horrible in China, and I hate to see a young couple suffer. John gives very good advice and I hope you will think twice before subjecting your new baby to air horrible water and or pollution and the racial discrimination all of you will have to deal with. Just being realistic. I wish I cou...

In hopes of finding a new job and life, When I saw the ads from Gi2c. Call now for free details, The ad beckoned to me....

I think most all of China is racist. Where in China is it easy for a teacher of color to find a job? Let's be honest and civil about this. Can we really expect or compel a foreign country to have the same moral standards as ourselves. In a strange way, maybe its good not to have "political corr...

It is not just Echinacities people. Two other big name expat forums are also havens for these thieves. Thebeijinger and ESLCafe. See here http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=644914

Disney has been trashed and bashed a lot lately, probably because they had 5 of their teachers arrested and deported because they were caught without Z visas and/or fake diplomas. As for the white list, try this link here... http://www.scam.com/showpost.php?p=1829047&postcount=11

I had good employers and bad employers in China. But what really mattered most was my employment contract. Lets just say that I learned about contracts by trial and error over the last three years. I just saw these "contract tips" at an expat site and thought they are well worth sharing wi...

Ou Wen is a very experienced con artist working the South China market for many years. All of the teachers who get sucked in by his charm, eventually leave disgusted and without what was promised to them. I am just one of many such victims. Also beware of what he does with the personal info you give...

You guys are right. My colleague was just contacted by Visa credit card security people giving him 10 days to pay $7,955 for stuff somebody else bought in his name! He had uploaded his resume to both Echinacities.com and Sinocities.com which are both owned by the same guy named Mr. Xu. See...http://...
