Hello Forum,

Has anyone had any experience dealing with this company? Beijing Zhuowen International Culture Exchange Corporation: http://www.eslemployment.com/c/zhuowen-international-culture-exchange-co-ltd.html

She seems decent during the Skype text chat I had with her concerning the teaching job for foreigners. I am concerned that the list of documents she requires to send to schools includes a photocopy of my passport. I expressed to her my hesitation in doing this, because of any possibility of identity theft. She said I don't need to worry about this, so I suggested to her that I should put a watermark over the photocopy, and she said this would be fine. Recently I read a website that warns against emailing a personal ID. It suggest to smudge out information using Photoshop to hide age and name of the passport holder so that such personal information cannot be used unfortunately by chance by anyone for illegal purposes.

I'm thinking to cut small strips of white paper to lay over sensitive personal information on the passport just in case a smudge in Photoshop can be cleared by anyone using this program or any other to look at the image. Again has anyone had any knowledge or experience with this company? I'm not sure if this Linda works for this company or is a recruiter.

Thank you for any feedback on this.
