My first suspicion is that this is a scam paying for a visa especially for Seoul International School, take a look at the job below details:

I'd send it to the Korean Bureau of bad guy catchers.

Yeah, big time scam.
If you have to pay someone, it's no longer a job. |

When a school applies for a teacher's E-2 visa at immigration there are no costs. The only cost is when the teacher takes the visa issuance number into a Korean embassy/consulate to get the actual visa stamped in their passport.
I know, I own a hagwon. |

There is an actual Seoul International School, so you might want to let them know that their name is being used in an extortion racket.

While teaching at a winter camp this year there were 3 teachers that went through I-to-I to get their job. It wasn't a scam but the company has you pay for "job placement", �595 with an online TEFL course or �400 if you already have it. Plus they took out money for the recruiting fee! http://www.i-to-i.com/paid-jobs-abroad/korea.html
*edit*-guess this is old news to many of you |
