I read this post about how this forum makes people paranoid about getting busted by immigration. I wondered why and searched this forum on stories about people getting busted and about illegal work. These stories made me laugh so hard.
Like Big Brother is out there. I am not even working here (just taking Korean classes) and I am already starting to feel paranoid. So this poll is for all you paranoid people out there. |

The most likely reason for getting busted for illegal work is that one is doing illegal work. That is like asking, "How do I avoid getting caught?"
There is no reason to be paranoid if you are doing nothing wrong. |

| Of course the poll assumes working illegal. I don't think people will get busted when they are not doing illegal things. Assuming that would be paranoia to the extreme. Your question might be interesting too. However, the outcome of this poll will only show the largest pitt falls and not necessarily the ways to avoid them. Unless people post comments related to your question. |

| I thought I'd make that post before numerous others who think the same thing. |

| I'd say the most common reason is to have a row with your client over the money, they get ratty it about and phone immigration. |

It is also illegal for the client to hire you. Make sure he or she already knows that. |
