- Photocopy of TEFL certificate (if you have) - Photocopy of the front page of your passport

1) First no requirement of education of any kind: Certification or degree. You cannot get a foreign expert certification without "any" kind of documents. No documents also means no residency permit. What's probably happening here is a lure to come on an "L" visa or similar. Don't do it you'll get expelled and possibly banned from China.

2) Asking for "full package" of documents. More than likely is a scam to steal your identity. If you respond use microsoft paint or similar to blank out the number fields on your passport copy. Do no give your physical address just city and state or province and country. We also wouldn't suggest giving a phone number email address only.

3) First email response ask for: The name of the company, full address with phone numbers, license number, name of person contacting, CEO or owners name, website info, etc..

4) There are several questionable comments in this email and if you're looking you'll find them.
