A year ago, when I was looking for my first job in Korea, I was in contact with a man named 'Fred' with Longbridge Pacific. After I did not accept the job he wanted me to accept, he threatened my father, who answered the phone. When that wasn't enough, he sent me disturbing and threatening emails after I had left for Korea.

Please stay away from this recruiting agency. They are the absolute worst of a very bad bunch.

That's rude. Let's all pay attention to that.

I also had contact with them and they wanted a fee. 500 dollars or something. I told them that it was illigal to charge on both ends and they said that the fee was for making copies of your diploma and getting all the visa stuff and courier fees.
I paid my own and it didn't amount to more than 100 dollars.
I'd stay away!

Rachel,

It would be nice if you could post some more details on what happened?

Also if you could post some more details it would help people understand the situation better.
