The warning up on efl-law com about a Recruiter operating in Korea is worth us spreading the news around -

IN A NUTSHELL:
Some recruiters will attempt to have you open up two bank accounts, and make the school pay into one account from which the recruiter will pay you. They will skim off the top and basically rob you every paycheck. Don't be an idiot: grant nobody else access to your accounts! |

If you're stupid enough to do that you deserve to get fleeced. |

Yep...only in Korea would something like this happen. I believe it to.
Who says there isn't crime in Korea? |

No one that I know of.
But I agree, allowing anyone else access to your money is dumb. |

Hey, did you read the article about the TESOL scam offered by
Pusan University of Foreign Studies?
http://www.thormay.net/unwiseideas/pufs/tmatpufshistory.htm
It's worth reading. 
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one getting the big hairy shaft in Korea. 
Well, what I mean is.........  misery loves company. |

If the recruiter doesn't tell you beforehand that he's going to be using his access to your bank account to skim money off of your paycheck every month, then of course it's a crime. The only way it wouldn't be a crime is if he told you that he was going to take the money, but it wouldn't be a very effective scam if he did that. |

| I think perhaps some people who are working for these companies don't want to admit that they have been "sucked in". They are also working at public schools...so I'm sure they would rather keep their job than kick up a fuss. |
