I just received an email from "Joanne". The email looks standard enough but the website makes me want to run away (and I did). It's from an unknown recruiting "company". The link in the email simply took me to a guide to teaching and living in China which is obviously copied from somewhere else (probably these very forums). Their main page lists some contact information, etc., but at the bottom also has a very long list of random words. Small diamond characters lead to some game that I've never heard of. I wouldn't trust whoever these people are with anything.

Watch out for emails from chinaschooljoanne@gmail.com
