China Job Scam Victim Somewhere in United States 2017-04-29 00:04:04 Job Scam Gumtree | Laowai Career Center aka Gi2c aka Getin2China aka Wiseway Global China Job Scam
1) The bait and switch jobs on people and try to force people into teaching jobs when their business or administrative job "was just recently filled by the employer with a better qualified candidate". 2) They deliberately bring you to China on the wrong visa and then try to sell you a Z visa for $3,000 after you get there along with a fake university diploma for $1,500 because they convince you that you cannot get any really good jobs without them. 3) After you leave, they sell your information to identity thieves and three months ago the cops were at my door asking me to return the $22,000 of gold jewelry I bought in China where someone even opened up a bank account in my name at China Construction Bank! Only after I was scammed did I find these links- too late: https://www.tapatalk.com/topic/65081-the-student-room/4601750-is-laowai-career-center-in-china-legit-or-another-scam-you-decide and also http://ChinaSamPatrol.wordpress.com and https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/61wni8/only_10_of_all_china_job_ads_you_see_online_are/?st=j15r4dvc&sh=732fc7f5 and http://www.opnlttr.com/letter/scam-warning-gi2c-china-internship-fraud-marketing-under-various-company-names-targeting-uni When I first got to China and thought everything was fine, they had a big welcome party and got us all a bit drunk and then offered us $500 cash if we would say nice and positive things about them on a video they said was going to be of our trip and we'd all get a copy to take home with us. After I realized I was scammed however, they would not give me a copy of the video and now see that they used those videos to make fake testimonials by editing what we said! I would NEVER recommend this company with four names to anyone. Some big Russian guy cornered me coming out of my apartment one morning and said if I made any public complaint about the company online or anywhere else Svetlana (one of the company employees "would tell everyone how I tried to rape her at the party". I only took a group photo with this girl and was never even alone with her! Now I find out she is a former Russian prostitute that is the girlfriend of the company owner. The police told me that over 300 people made police reports about these people but they cannot be arrested because they are in China and there is no law against what they do in China except now the Chinese government is going after them for income tax evasion. I was also told that I should check this website if I ever again am called or contacted by anyone in China for any opportunity: http://reddit.com/r/chinascamcentral. |
