Anyone thinking about applying for work in China needs to know that 30% of all job ads you see posted for China "opportunities" are posted by "fronters" for ID thieves. The rings are huge and in one both typically charge over $3 million to the names of innocents expats working in China. In some cases $5,000 down payments are made to buy a car in Foreign Teacher's name and the next day that car is sold for parts and nets the thieves $30,000 especially if it is a German luxury car.
This is a very sophisticate scam that all starts with you sending your resume and passport scan to some voice on Skype with a Chinglish name like Tommy Zhou. These fabricated names are just as untraceable as their gmail or 163.com email sites, and their disposable simm cards on their mobile phones.
