I would have to say that if you weren't smart enough to find a credible job here in China but were able to get a Z visa that, well, your not too smart. There are literally thousands of jobs out there, and laziness, the obvious culprit here, or ignorance, is no excuse for not following through and doing the proper research.

As for getting sucked in by these people, no, not your fault per say. However, waiting until you got here to find out their names was, well, stupid, no one will disagree. If you have waited until you get your personalized business cards to know the name of who your working for, your not seriously high on the IQ scale.

Also, Jilin province is notorious, and well known for all the scamsters that operate out of it.

In this case, I have to say that, though the people who hired you are well known scum, the bad situation you got into was totally 100% your fault.

Please folks, if your going to come work here, get the freaken name of your employer at the very least. Do some research into where you will be working. Ask for pictures of the campus so as to ascertain the identity of the school seperate from whatever you are being told. This is all common sense stuff, certainly getting their name is. Why you would not insist on that is beyond me.

Folks, stop settling for the first fly by night scamsters you come across when looking for work here. There are tons and tons of schools who will hire you if you only have a degree, real legite schools, not crap training centers. For Gods sake, just look at Daves esl cafe, there's tons of jobs there, most from actual schools.

This type of situation is completely avoidable, sad but avoidable.
