Could you tell us a little more in detail? I mentioned before how CZZ purposely tries to get their money back (their investment they say) by inventing all sorts of fees or clever pay-period schemes but its so that you will be 'destitute'. (They probably assured you - you need to bring nothing! they supply everything but your food!). I suspect they started this when far too many teachers disappeared after a 1st paycheque and this ensured they had to stay, burn their own saving up, and need to stay. What I think has happened is they realized this was actually a profitable 'business model' in its own right - basically making short-changing and 'turnover' of ESL teachers the actual business objective itself! Just remember something - the 3500 they deducted from you was what.. to pay for renting an apartment? The next 'Sucker' (victim) was told he or she needed to pay for that apartment too. and the next one. That apartment has had 3 months rent payed about 6 times over now! Anyways, please provide a few more details. I absolutely HATE knowing these guys are destroying innocent ESL teachers - many leave with an absolute hatred of China.
