I should probably clarify. Here are the issues:

1) It seems unlikely that they would be unable to fill such an easy position in a week, so it makes me think that they might be baiting for applicants?

2) I got into email correspondence with the person listed in the ad. The name of the hagwon in her email was different from the one in the ad.


Another thing: my friend was also thinking about taking this job. His concern is that if he took the job, when it came time for them to pay him at the end of the month they could just laugh in his face and not pay him anything, since he was working illegally.
