I was ripped off by a company called CUCAS but there are over 300 clever scams that target naive and gullible foreigners who never went to China before. Like me, they believe that what the recruiter told them is true. 90% of the China job recruiters are scam artists only focused on making money off of you. Here are 5 China blacklists you chouls check before you sign any contracts with anyone and NEVER ever upload your resume online for anyone to see. This explains why: http://chinascamwatch.wordpress.com. Oh, almost forgot there are one or two Chine white lists floating around but you will have to search them down. One is from the CTA and the other from the CFTU. Here are the blacklists I now use to make sure I do get fooled again-----
