This just hit my inbox from a bud of mine who applied with them and got the old bait and switch routine. And no Kong, they are not on the CFTU blacklist from what I can see.

The same article mentions David Valley and he IS blacklisted in quite a few places.

Boinkeye,

I think it's time for you to find something else to do.

You might want to do the same Bud. You have been bullying people on this thread for over a year as some self-appointed moderator. Any newcomer who disagrees with the Almighty Bud gets insulted and told to go away. When was the last time you actually started a thread Bud? I seldom ever see you agree with anyone on this forum unless you are ganging up on someone with a minority opinion. You need to stop antagonizing people and let them speak their mind. This thread is about one of fifty where you give no opinion on the OP but only insult the messenger. Weren't you the guy that chastised a few others for "attacking the messenger instead of the content"? You should follow your own advice Bud. This OUR forum not YOUR personal sandbox. Got it? And this is what somebody posted at realscam.com about New Life ESL (verbatim without any editing here):

I started this thread focused on New Life ESL so will share with you an email reply I received from China Scam Patrol yesterday:

"Thank you for your inquiry. You are not the first to be concerned about New Life ESL which our preliminary investigation reveals the following:

* New Life ESL is an unregistered business entity in China with no rep office on record in any agency or ministry regulating foreign business operations in China. No records were found at SAFEA, SAIC, Ministry of Commerce, nor Ministry of Education.

* The website www.newlifeesl.com went on line in June of 2013 and is registered to a Brendan Gibson of Mesa, Arizona.

* New Life ESL is not licensed as an employment agency in the State of Arizona and no corporate records bear that business name.

* Mr. Derrick Yazwa purports to be the owner/operator of this business. His personal public records are available on line for $49 at the links provided below.

* The IRS has no taxpayer ID number and no Employer ID number assigned to any entity with the name of New Life ESL, and indication that no tax filings have been made of fiscal year 2013 as the filing deadline has passed.

* The "testimonials" and reviews we found online are typical for "teach in china operations" and are mostly self-generated.

* We have attempted to contact Mr. Yazwa to learn more about his online business but our efforts have been in vain and have been abandoned.

If you want a complete due diligence report on this company/individual we can provide one within 10 days for a fee. In the interim, we would urge you to be extremely cautious and wary of New Life ESL at this time.

In the future if you wish to check on a U.S.- based entity we suggest you start for free with tax and other public records shown here at
5 Ways to Find a Federal Tax ID Number - wikiHow If you are checking out a China-based operation we suggest you check the various China blacklists and read this article explaining the Chinese licensing authority known as "SAIC" Finding An Honest Agent Or Recruiter In China - Mission Impossible? - ESLwatch - Information, News and School Reviews

We hope we have been helpful. Should you become a victim of any scam in China, please contact us with the details so we can help warn others who may fall into the same trap of which there are more than 380 at this time.

Best Wishes,

Jason
Public Affairs Specialist
China Scam Patrol"

I think the above speaks for itself. Mr. Yazwa only needs to post his LLC registration link to establish some effort to legitimize himself and explain why he operates illegally in China and advises his prospects to commit visa fraud that can get teachers arrested, fined, and deported with a five year reentry ban. He claims transparency on his website so I guess now is the time to step up and demonstrate that transparency. Derrick?"

Oh, okay, Buck. I won't even try to address your message. It's not worth it.

Go to town. Have fun. Soon, you'll find yourself talking to yourself.

You can change the forum name Scam City or CFTU Forum for Complainers.

I'm outta here.

So strange that you would consider a 7 year China ESL teacher vet a "complainer" for merely trying to warn colleagues about a scam! Now I am convinced that these articles below are talking about Mr. Bud Powell.

Okay. I lied. I'm not outta here yet. You got me. I AM the mastermind behind the scams in China. Every one. You have hit only the tip of the iceberg. I have spies too. Every one of those links are about me.

I am also head of TTP !

Great so am I! That was you spiking the punch bowl at the last gala wasn't it? I knew it! Please give this link to Dorothy when you see her and from now on I won't pester you for accurate facts okay? What the hell, this forum is opinion driven anyway. "If you can't beat em, join em!" as Mussolini once said. http://classifieds.echinacities.com/chapter/1403456170
