I can't begin to express how relieved and disappointed I was to run across this thread! I received the same offer only a few days after posting my information on Dave'sESLCafe. Initially I was stoked about the opportunity of going to England for a year, however I couldn't find any information online about a Dr. Chun-Ming Fu. I was also suspicious about the need to hire a US ex-pat for these services while residing in the UK, but he did eventually provide the rationale that UK natives are charging GBP70/hour which at roughly 30 hours of teaching per week equates to over GBP8K/mo which is nearly triple what he was offering me. The contract I received is a spitting image of the one posted by Angrydaughter. Before proceeding I did a search on the supposed attorney/witness, Mr. Kevin White, who was also the witness for Angrydaughter's contract. The Dr. never did accept an appointment to talk w/me via Skype. After catching on to his scam, I played along for a while just to waste his time since he had wasted mine. He finally called me today on my cell inquiring about sending the funds, at which point I apologized and requested that he pay the work permit and spousal dependency charges for me since they'd be refunded upon our arrival, but he insisted that he was not allowed to pay the charges as stipulated in the contract (see a Word version of it below) and then the call disconnected. I doubt I'll hear from him again which is fine by me, although I do hope that he's come to the end of his fraudulent rope.
