50 other TEFL & ESL teacher scams are listed here http://reddit.com/tefl_esl_scam but this seems to be the most dangerous imo.

There was one case of North Korea but the American teacher fell in love with a Korean girl and decided to stay there! https://www.usnews.com/news/articles...04-report-says
