SCAM ALERT! CUCAS IN BEIJING, CHINA IS TOTAL FRAUD OWNED BY A FORMER CHINESE GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL!

















Here are the details:



CUCAS IS A PRIVATE COMPANY - NOT A GOVERNMENT AGENCY!













Wow! This is the most believable China scam that ever sneaked onto my computers screen offering me free scholarships to study in China! In China students are offered free scholarships to study abroad. Once you take their bait however you find out that you have to pay fees to their sister companies owned by the same snake a former official of the China Communist Part in charge of assigning ",cn" and ".edu" domains in China. (Look at the suffix of their domain which falsely implies they are a government institution!)Look at their web site - it is impressive yet very misleading and false.who takes $1,000 and more - not through Cucas, but through a third party consulting company owned by the same Chinese man who will only tell people his name is "Peter". If you ask him for his Chinese name or a business card he says he "just ran out of cards". Peter's second Chinese company charges "service fees" Yet CUCAS advertises that their service is FREE! No CUCAS client has ever paid less than $500 and some have paid as much as $3,000. (They start high an negotiate down if people protest about the price) CUCAS only represents schools that pay them a 20% commission including the below schools. If you tell them you want to go to Peking University or Tsinghua they will tell that enrollment is full instead of telling you the truth - Peking and Tsinghua refuse to do business with Peter because of his scammy reputation. When I mentioned the CUCAS name to a Peking University admissions manager, she rolled her eyes and warned me to stay clear of them.What they do for students is file an application and registration form that students can do for themselves in 2 hours time - online in many cases. Students only have to contact the international department of any Chinese University by telephone or email and request the forms in English. CUCAS staff even includes two foreign interns whose job is just to be in the office in case people walk in they will think their business is legitimate since most foreigners refuse to work for Chinese scams. The interns have no clue what is going on there and spend their time flirting with the girl students and playing video games on the computer. CUCAS steals about $30,000 a month from students abroad. It is all smoke and mirrors, but that edu.cn tag fools everyone.If you think CUCAS really is part of the Chinese government, contact or visit the Beijing SAIC (Business License Agency) about 300 meters West of Canadian International School in Beijing like I did, and in less than a minute you will know the truth with a computer search. Unfortunately CUCAS is now ruining the good name of the below universities:Beijing Foreign Studies University (an BFSU official named Liu Boran admiited he knows CUCAS is not a government agency - was he bribed? Probably)Beijing Language And Culture UniversityUniversity of International Business & EconomicsShenzhen UniversityShanghai Jiao Tong UniversityShanghai International Studies UniversityDalian University of Foreign StudiesEasy China Normal UniversityZhejiang UniversitySichuan UniversityBTW... CUCAS tells American, Canadian, European, Latin, and Russian students that these schools are the "top 10 Universities in China" when they clearly are not even in the top 50! Avoid this company like the plague or you will flushing money down the toilet. There is NOTHING "FREE" in China and if you lived or worked there for only 3 months you would learn this in a hurry. BTW... I know about CUCAS because I was one of about 2 dozen foreigners in Wudaokou who was offered $100 to make a fake video testimonial for them. Many people took the money and used fake names. I did not. They then offered me $50 to give a fake written testimonial using a yahoo email account they offered to make for me. I refused. They also write fake reviews for themselves on line and pay GoAbroad.com $1,000 to give them high ratings. These people are bottom feeders with a fancy web site. BTW... the same Liu Boran of BFSU's International Department got his own wife a 30,000 rmb teaching job at the China Academy of Governance - a job that was supposed to be held by a Native English Speaker. Just ask Norman one of the foreign teachers who works there or Mr. Lu, the Director of the Academy. Collusion and corruption reigns supreme in China and ripping off foreigners is S.O.P. Beware of CUCAS or you will be sorry you ever heard their name or answered their email.
