Does anybody have any experience working with these guys?

they want me to set up a bank account, and then give them control of it. What's up with that? I have friends that say they have done similar things before with no problems.

any info is appreciated.

Yep, the bank deal is fraud. The contract between you and the school is legal, but private companies are not allowed to be involved with the hiring of teachers for public after-school programs. So, the bank fraud allows them to hide their presence and exposes you to tax liabilities. Immigration knows about this but doesn't care. How it works: companies vie to hire for the schools. They get about 5 million for you, so they deduct your 2.1-2.3 plus housing allowance and keep the rest. They use some of these proceeds to grease the principal and/or vice for getting the work (being able to hire you for the school). VERMIN
