Travel, Teach, Live in China
Hey everyone, since my publication of ads for work I have been requested for several shady deals here in thebeijinger. SO i want to post this out for =eople to beware scammers out there.
Anyways, from the start this guy sounded a bit strange, but I just assumed his =nglish wasn't very good so he couldn't communicate well. Here's the =tory:
I just recently posted an ad on here looking for work and got a call from = "professor" of ligong da xue telling me they have some sort =eeting and they want foreigners there, and because I was looking for part-time =ork as an actor this would be good. (which means to me they are looking for =ctors?)
First he said he worked for the university, then he said that the meeting is =or the Olympics and put up by the Olympics. And I would have to be on for 5 =inutes talking about the olympics and beijing. Now i'm a bit confused in how the olympics has anything to do with =igong daxue, or acting, but I continue listening and asking for more =etails.
And he said there will be many companies and businesses there. So i ask =quot;is this setup by the Inernational Olympic Committee, or the China Olympic Committee? Of which he says that the meeting is put up by many =ompanies.
So i ask, who is putting this meeting up exactly? Of which he now replies =enovo. (hmm... confusion level rising)
Now i'm thinking How does Lenovo, the olympics, acting, their school and I =ave anything in common?
He's obviously beating around the bush on something. Most calls that are for =egit work call and tell me right away where they work, what they are doing, =hat they need and the pay. This guy was just not being clear about anything. =ut anyways, i passed it on to a chinese speaker so he could speak to them =n Chinese.
Then he tried explaining, in Chinese, while my friend got all the details and =hen the guy somehow just got either a)upset or b) really nervous as to =iguring out his scam. So he cut the conversation off while insulting =s.
When I called him back to tell him to speak to foreigners more directly so we =an understand and not say things that aren't, he started yelling and =nsulting me in Chinese with very advanced language such as: F*#$ your Mother... etc =tc.
Now, i've never heard any professor here in China using such language =o that immediately told me something was up.
Anwyays, now I keep getting harrassing calls from him, telling me he has my phone =umber and that i should be scared. (scared of what? I don't know. I can get a =ew phone number just as easy as i got this one lol)
But seriously. Guys, beware of anyone calling saying they're from ligong =axue.
