This website and others are legally compelled to censor names of employers, unlicensed schools, agents and recruiters that are "less than honest". But the below links name and shame the offenders without censorship. So before you take any new China job or even send your resume to anyone, check here first...

Good luck in China but stay safe and secure from those wanting to exploit you.

Thanks CSP - we really needed this. I read your blog last night. Very interesting. Why don't you guys write a weekly column on a major expat site? Expats need to see this excrement. http://chinascampatrol.wordpress.com

These links the OP provides a great and quick way to know if your next job really is as good as the recruiter is telling you. Remember that these agents and recruiters make abut $500to $1,000 from you signature on a contract. So most will tell you anything to get your ass on a plane to China!

From the depths of my heart, I say XIE XIE for these great links!

Two things worth mentioning IMO:

1) Scammers often use many different names to market and recruit under, as explained here: http://www.scamalot.com/ScamTipReports/86021 and here http://opnlttr.com/letter/scam-warning-gi2c-china-internship-fraud-marketing-under-various-company-names-targeting-uni


2) There is a Global Blacklist you can use for free that identifies ESL & TEFL teaching scams in every country... http://Reddit.com/r/tefl_esl_scams.
