As the newbie in town, you will be targeted for dozens of scams from shady visa agents, unethical skimmers aka recruiters or job agents, and black market employers (fake or unlicensed schools and training centers). Newbies tend to be gullible and too trusting because they are always caught off guard. Well because you are reading these words now you have escaped your first bullet if you only take the time to read these three links:

Yeah, you will still be a target, but you won't be a victim! Never assume anything in this industry and always get all promises and pledges in your contract (verbal and email promises are garbage and NOT legally binding) and you will be fine.
