China Internship

[mattkearns]

Hello,

I would like to share my experience with a scam related to an internship in Chine.
To begin with the very first e-mail that I got. It was from a person, who claimed that there is a good opportunity for me in Chine to teach children to speak English. In the beginning, I did not take it seriously, but after a while I thought that it is a good idea. I contacted the person saying that I would like to apply for the job, but he did not reply for like a week. Suddenly, I found an e-mail from him, demanding my personal details because I have been approved for the job. I told him that I am not sure of giving my personal details to a stranger and he assured me that everything will be fine. I gave him fake details and he said that, I have been researched from a friend of him who works at the police and that he is happy to see that I have never been involved in any illegal activities. At that moment, I sent him an e-mail, in which I said "I know you are a scammer, do not contact me again or I will call the police".
