Re: Exact same contract under the name Dr. Chun-Ming Fu

Almost got caught in the web of lies off these assholes!

Everything seemed legit, even the guy working as an engineer on a oil rig seemed legit which resulted in the amount he wanted to pay! None the less the more and more we talked the more stinker it got! The fish smell was threw the roof! Anyways before I realized it was to late and sent my documentation to them and signed their stupid little fake contract!

Well the party is over for these boys, I have contacted the local London police force as well the Coleford police force as where the job was suppose to take place. I will even contact my local police force!

All I can say is they messed with the wrong ESL Teacher!

Re: Exact same contract under the name Dr. Chun-Ming Fu

I just got a similar offer from Lok Hulin of Sorbiton England.

It seemed more than fair but certainly not too good to be true.

Just in case, I googled the phone number at the top of the contract and it came up on mumerous scam sites including this one.

Not smart using the same number so many times when new phones can be so cheap.

I am stringing him along for as long as possible to make him suffer.

I have just asked him to send me money so I can help him our by buying the air ticket much cheaper than he can.

If he is smart he will know that by now because he could also be reading this just as you are.

Cappi D'angelo 3000GBP english2cappi@gmail.com

I am so glad that I have decided to do some research before going any further with this offer!! He had blinded me with promises of the amazing job and salary, but when the request for the deposit came, I was suspicious. After a week of in depth emails describing the job, I am more upset about wasting so much of my time! Yes, at this point he is using Cappi D'angelo, offering the tutor position in Northhampton England. He sent me pictures of the accommodation, but never of himself or the family. My last contact was him was as recent as this morning. I am wondering how I can help catch this guy before he scams more people!!!

Re: Dr Young King Liu and 'lawyer' Kevin White - SCAM!

I got the same email from Cappi D'Angelo about a job offer in England. At first I was just excited about this kind of opportunity but Jen I saw the supposed salary, I knew something was up. And also, I'm not sure why anyone would pay an exuberant amount of money to import a teacher when they're living in the English capital.
Thanks for this post. I feel like an idiot for initially believing this guy!

Do research before accepting or getting excited about any job offers, especially if it seems too good to be true!

Re: Dr Young King Liu and 'lawyer' Kevin White - SCAM!

Hey there, thanks to the one who wrote this l just found out that l almost got thread by the same guy but let me tell you that this time he is CAPPI D'ANGELO and his layer MIKE FALVEY l received the exact contract and he said the same bullshit about tutoring his wife and two kids. Now he says he is a chef living in England... l was always suspicious about him cause we never had an interview via skype and he always said he didn't have webcam and stuff like that... l received his contract agreement and he was asking me to send 900GBP to start the process of the work permit, but hell no... l never did it l made a lot of research to know if this was true since the moment l saw that "stamp" on the contract that didn't say anything... l might not be a lawyer, but l do know what a stamp of a contract is... and thank God l read this page. As l said l received the contract agreement and l signed it but of course l didn't sign with my real signature, l did it just in case this was a whole thread, and indeed it was... but can this guy be more stupid???? l found out all this shit just by googling the phone number that appears on the top of the contract and look... many people have gone through the same thing!

l feel relief and disappointed of course... it was supposed to be a such a good income, but anyways... at least he didn't take any penny from my pocket, although he did waste my time. but the good news is that l have more job offers.

Good luck people... and be careful! btw l'd like to know if anyone sent money to this guy or signed the contract?

He replied so promptly to my emails and seemed to be offering an AMAZING package! Few things were suspicious-the contract he gave me had been reformatted from Word to PDF and the signatures had not been written then scanned but copied and pasted! He also wanted me to pay 800GBP towards my working visa! Someone needs to stop this guy!!!!!!! Like my mom said-if it sounds too good to be true-it probably is!!

Exact same contract under the name Dr. Wang Zhang

3rd email I received:

Dear Janet,

I have the agreement contract attached to this email for your review. After your review and you like the contract terms and conditions, I need you to sign, scan and email a copy of the signed agreement to me for my records.

Once I have it, I will have my attorney contact you and he will let you know of the steps and procedure you have to follow in getting the working permit approved.

Clause 9 in the contracts states that you need to make a deposit of 800GBP. This is towards the processing of your working permit. Your work permit need to be approved here in England before you can apply for a work visa. This is a deposit and it will be claimed back by you upon your arrival to England. My attorney will explain it more to you once I have the signed contract and I have him contact you.

Thank you and hope to receive a copy of the signed agreement from you soon.

Dr. Wang Zhang.

Exact same contract under the name Dr. Wang Zhang

4th email I received:

Dear ________,

I received the email from you and the payment. However, you don't have to send the deposit to me. This deposit has to be on your name and it has to be through western union money transfer. Since I have received the signed agreement, I will have my attorney contact you and he will let you know of the steps and procedure you have to follow in getting the deposit done. I also checked with the Zashpay.com website and they said that to receive money sent via zashpay, you need to have a US checking account and a US address.

The way to make the deposit is to have your friend or relation deposit the money to your name through western union. You can make a zashpay payment to a friend or relative in the US and then have them send the deposit through western union to your name and the destination being England.

Please cancel the zashpay payment you have already made.

Thank you so much.

Dr. Wang.

Dear Janet,

Thank you for the email and the update. Well Kelvin said that since you make the deposit through online, you can make my name the receiver and upon your arrival to England, we can go and receive the cash back that the home office will not accept you being the sender and receiver and it's like you coming to England for some personal reasons and trying to get a work visa so that you can stay longer and it might affect your application. He said you can log in to your western union account online and change the receivers name to my name and I can then receive it up for you upon your arrival. Let me know what you think.

Your prospective earning mark is 5 points, Educational qualification is 10 points, Certificate of sponsorship is 30 points, and maintenance requirement is 10 points making a total of 55 points.

For your points to get to the 70 point minimum pass mark, You have to make an additional deposit of 1200.00GBP to increase your point mark to the 70 point minimum pass mark within the next 7 working days, this is to ensure that you have reached the minimum requirement of the Tier 2 Visa system and that you are not a public charge to the United kingdom and you have sufficient funds with you.

Note that the 1200.00 GBP needed from you is only a deposit that will be withdrawn by you upon arrival to England.

I am one of the many who have been approached by this individual. I have reported them through the Action Fraud site, with the added bonus of having and providing their banking information. I doubt that anything will come of it, but hey, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Re: Exact same contract under the name Dr. Chun-Ming Fu

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.

Re: Dr Young King Liu and 'lawyer' Kevin White - SCAM!

I am doing my best to track these two down, and so called Dr seems to come from New York according to the IP address, and the 'lawyer' is tracked down to California. Likely these are originating from VPNs or other ways around revealing true addresses, so catching them could be a problem if you are trying to even locate which country to charge them in.

The US IRS has assured me that if you identify either as a US citizen they would very veeeerrryyyy happy to hunt them down.

They took my for just over 2000GBP, which was supposed to have been sent to MY NAME in England. The transfers have mysteriously vanished though, and I am getting into contact with Western Union to try to retrieve my money, which should have legally gone to me, as it was in my name.

These people haven't just scammed me, they crushed my dream of getting the ** out of Asia and in the arms of my fiance who happens to live in England. I was too blinded by their 'official documents' and money sent to my name, not theirs to believe this could be a scam. I never sent them a penny directly for anything.

If you have any information about their true identities or location, I would greatly appreciate a heads up and I have the British, Canadian, and American embassies in constant contact as well as the IRS, and a fiance in England with access to the police. If more have you have been taken in, let me offer my multitude of contacts to help you get these guys.

Re: Dr Oguri Daiki Katsuya, now going by Dr. Young king Liu, job in Braydon Gateshead

I have just gotten off the phone with my father, who I have had to break the news to that this is a scam. I live in the UK, so he was very excited about the possibility of being in the UK for a little while so we could see each other more often. Like others, this 'doctor' sent family photos, and they even had a telephone conversation. He sent a 'contract' for dad to sign, but the whole thing just seemed very suspicious to both me and my partner. I am so glad that I found this thread, and I have copied a bit of the contract that he was sent so that you can get the gist of what is said. I will try and get the document into a jpeg format tomorrow (it is currently 1am, but I am running on pure fury at the moment!!) and upload it on another message. Here is the excerpt:

I got an offer on 07/29/2011 from Dr. Jun Nagi Machiko from the same address #80 Halesfield, Wellington, Shrosphire, England. TF1 1BJ. Both numbers s/he, it sent didn't work when I tried to call. They urged me constantly through email to wire 1000 GBP to myself in the UK. When I told them I didn't have the money they lowerd the amount to 700 GBP. They so called Dr refered me to his Immigration lawyer. I noticed that the typo's in both emails were the same. This is a horible scam DON't fall for it !

The other red flag is the fact that s/he sends a contract with out having a phone interview. they even sent me family pictures. If they can't get the transfer they ask for bank statements. I had to close my accounts to prevent them from stealing money from me.

Mine was for an inhouse professional ESL teacher...I replied since it was sent via a normal ESL teacher job board. I replied the man was insane for what he wanted to do to his children and wife knowing something about how to teach newcomers! No reply, but in a week or so, got the EXACT letter with same wife and children names, same information about everything...just new 'doctor' looking for someone. I joked with my friends that it was white slavery or a big scam...but in reality, I didn't know who to report my concerns to. Glad others are finding ways to get the word out.

"Dr. Kei Megumi" is either a fake person with a fantasy name or may be a wrong name that someone has taken from an identity theft.

In the ugly world of scamming, it is hard to tell who is really who, and the least responsible may be that "Dr. Kei Megumi" from Japan if he really exists.

Re: Dr. Kei Megumi a native of Osaka,Japan

To: Dr Kei Megumi, a native of Osaka, Japan. You are alleged to have made the following comment in an email:

"It wont cost me anything to get your information and fuck your life up and your entire family related... i will kill them in a very bad way and fuck your life up..."

Dr. Kei Megumi or whoever you are, If you are genuinely living in the UK, (which I doubt), you should be aware that you have committed an offence in UK law. Offences against the person includes threats to kill, and the UK police and courts will take a very dim view of your actions and you will be prosecuted.

I suspect you are working for a company abroad that has dealings with a manufacturing company in the UK, and so have an address that you can pass off fraudently as your own. It would not be the first time that such a scam has been exposed here. Make no mistake, the police in the UK can visit this company, on the basis of crime prevention, and check if you have any connections. If you name is fake they can still look at the export and importers list - even in Nigeria! From there, they can pass on any details to Interpol. Don't think that your webmail address is secure. In terms of preventing crime, your IP address and other details will be available.

You should go away and consider that nobody in their right mind would consider working for you. And if anyone will land in jail - it will be you! It's only a matter of time.

There are competent and qualified English teachers in the UK who are unemployed. As a 'resident', your children (if you qualify), can go to state school so why would you want to recruit a private teacher from abroad with all the hassle of visas and work permits?

You are not very bright. Do you honestly believe that people are not smart enough to see through these schemes? And they will publish this information to warn others not to be taken in.

” but found the location is not residential but an industrial site that mfg’s disposable household products. You can click on the street and get 360 camera view. Would there be any diference in the address by having the numeral 11 first?

I was also a little worried about it too, but mostly because it seemed really random. You think this person
would find someone in England to help with English lessons. Why would you ask a random American. i replied

What were the red flags for you?
