Sounds like they were just angry that you caught them on their attempt to be perceived as a more serious educational institution sanctioned by the gov't when in fact they're just a private hagwon like all others. It might work on a newbie, but I guess they hadn't counted on you knowing so much about Korea.

If their fudging like that right out of the gates and responding like that when called on their BS, best to give them a wide berth. I'm always amazed at how quickly some of them can turn so vengeful when one points out the obvious fudging.

Took down my third post. Suffice it to say I exchanged silly emails with a recruiting organization, and it was a turn off.

Why take down the posts Smee? Did they threaten to prevent you from ever teaching in Korea again? Rolling Eyes

That would be a real bummer huh?

Anyway, you could always check if they are a real fully licensed recruiting company(highly unlikely)and then make them sweat.

Ahh the memories...hey a few years ago I b.itched about a recruiter sending me irrelevant job postings and he, thinking I was a Kyopo, called me "banana" and told me to go back to my own country? In retrospect, I do find it funny that he said that he didn't need a sassy teacher like me. Laughing
