Stay away from this one. Perlandes is a guy who came to Shenzhen about 3-4 years ago, and Fenny is his Chinese girlfriend/office girl.

They will try to get you coming and going. He offers jobs that sound very intriguing, but then tries to pull bait and switch moves on you.

He wants you to sign a contract with him, AND give him a deposit. I offered him a 500rmb deposit and he laughed at me. He said he couldn't do anything for less than 1000rmb.

Then, upon getting you a job, your contract with him stipulates you would pay him anywhere from one month to two months "fee" for him getting you the job. He doesn't try to get the school to pay...YOU pay.

You will also have you meet him at his office...he won't travel to where you are. Also, he doesn't give you ANY information over the phone...you have to meet in person...

I wasted about 5 hours and the cost of travel in going to his place just to find out what his "deposit" was...when he could have told me over the phone and saved me the trip.

And the jobs he posts are all bogus. He tells you he has lots of people applying for those "prime" jobs, but he'll find "something" for you. I've noticed that those "prime" jobs always seem to be advertised over and over by him. Hmmm.

Legal Daily is his front. He supposedly works for this "newspaper" near the Citic Mall/Jusco in SZ that will "help you out" if you run into legal problems with your employer. I don't know of one single person who has been able to use this guy. He's not a lawyer...He's not a newspaper writer...He is simply a recruiter trying to rip people off who are gullible.

I'd definitely stay away from Perlandes Harris, Fenny, and Legal Daily.

I have to agree with the OPs assesment of Perlandas. Most of his contacts come from his wife's family and not him. He is basically a hustler with a poor self-image. You can easily find that out when you talk to him and hear him bragging about himself in the most childish ways.

I doubt anyone has ever gotten a decent job from him or that he concerns himself with that anyway. There are so many jobs in SZ I don't know why someone would need an agent. Even if you go thru an agent it will not guarantee you anything nor does it put someone on your side. Just another layer of obsfucation.

This gentleman, and his madame, have, I believe, been commented upon here before and if my memory serves me correctly, nothing good was reported then just as nothing positive has been reported now.

There are several good agents in Shenzhen. If you really want to use an agent to work in SZ, please PM me. I can recommend one that I have used and that has also helped my friends.

But in terms of this gentleman, I think he's got a membership in the Frank Yang Club.

Thanks for the great info, guys. I had been in contact with "Fenny" regarding a job that seemed a little too high-paying to be true and now I can rest assured it is!!

I sent Fenny an e-mail inquiring "does your agency happen to charge fees for recruitment?" in a very sweet tone...will be interesting to see the response I get! Not that I would believe anything they say now!

Methos,

just for future reference...if you are going to use someone's quotes (i.e.: mine), it would be nice to put it in a quote box or at least in quotation marks...that way I can bask in the glory of having been cited as the reference...



either way, I stand behind my comments posted re: Perlandes...
