Ged, thanks for that post, that is some scary stuff indeed!

Both are money obsessed, to your face liars who con "fresh off the boat" foreigners in to signing ridiculous contracts verging on extortion.

I've lost all respect for recruiters and agree on the money obsessed part totally.

Lucas is a chinese man who "enforces" contract terms by visiting foreigners (who've learnt better at their placements by talking with other FT's) and threatening them with fines, prison terms, deportation and in one instance physically threatening a girl with a knife and telling her to just do what she's told.

Which would be classified as harrassment/intimidation in any other place with common law, and HE would be put in prison. Insane, but i expect nothing less...

Cheers,
A
