Please, please, please do not EVER use Pamela Ji. She is THE WORST. I am in the most miserable work situation because Pamela Ji pulled a bait and switch on me. To make a long story short, she set me up with a perfect job but then 1 week after I sent my signed contract and paper work to her she informed me that she was unable to place me at that job but got me a visa in a different city at a different school. After asking her 4 times what school she told me the name, after that I knew why she didn't tell me. So, it was either work at the school or stay in the United States (after a visa is issued you cannot apply again for one year.) My first week at the school I discovered that the SAME thing happened to my coworker and guess who his recruiter was? Pamela Ji.

I had two recruiters place me. Unfortunately, they both retired. The first one was... not all there, second was awesome (Korvia) too bad she stopped.

I did have issue with Sestimony Jim (name changed to protect the innocent)

He pulled a bait n switch on me, promised me a public school job, we stopped contact for a week then when I called him again he told me he had an awesome opportunity at a HAGWON on the OTHER SIDE OF SEOUL.

If you meet a recruiter that rhymes with my fake name, avoid him. But its been three years so he probably changed his name to something like Galleluja Rhee.

If your recruiter pulls a bait n switch, pull out.
Just call up another recruiter (don't tell the first one this obviously) and get your documents back. Or have recruiter #2 get the docs from recruiter #1.
