You are totally right about this being a scam, Mark. Why would a person in England need to send out emails to people around the world to be an English tutor??? They can just go to a local college or university and find plenty of English majors and some of the best English speakers on the planet!

This is a total scam and I heard they are looking for personal information. NEVER send someone your passport info if you don't know who it is. I have never heard of someone having their identity stolen through a passport but why give a con artist that kind of information?

Good luck and keep your eyes open!

Hi Megan! Can i get your email? I have a couple questions for you. After reading your posts along with Anthony's, I think we are in a similar situation. Just wanted to get your advice/insight.

Here's my email : haole93@yahoo.com

Hi Shelly,

I have visited Shanghai before and you will love it. Never lived there but I have friends that have lived and worked in Shanghai. Cost of living is more than most cities (and many will say it is the most expensive) in China. When I was there I found food and groceries to be relatively cheap compared to where I am from (Orlando). As far as rent/apartments go, I can ask my friends who lived there what they paid.

BTW, did you use a recruiter or did you apply directly to the school? Is this your first teaching job?

Anthony,

This is Jere again. I just had an interview with a Beijing-based recruiter and just need some advice and insight. Can you send me your email?

Here is mine : haole93@yahoo.com

Thanks for all of your posts on here. You need to write a book or a teacher/travel guide and get it published asap!

Tough break, Anthony. Sorry to hear that but I'm sure you will be fine. You seem very industrious and determined. Good luck to you and keep the posts coming!

BTW, where in China are you located?
