Job Scam
1 |  +1 Gi2c & Getin2China is same China Internship Scam - Beware! This is both a job and advanced fee scam that will cost victims between $65 and $5,000 depending on how long you keep believing their pitch, which is one that sounds very logical and very believable. Only because three former employees came forward and two victims confirmed they were told to commit a felony crime (lie on their visa application) did I finally realize this was a scam. They promise you a great job making big bucks in China with an international company IF you are willing to work for free for a 90 day internship. Because they set up a fake job interview for you that goes very well and you are led to believe that within 6 months you will be earning $60,000 a year, you fall for their BS and agree to pay $3,700 for their placement fee! Good luck trying to get your money back from China!
Do not be fooled by all their fake testimonials like this one http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Employee-Review-Gi2C-Group-RVW7028663.htm?utm_source=company-follow&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=company-follow-ri&utm_content=company-follow-ri-review-button or all the client videos they spam all over the internet. Here is where you can find the truth about them:

The reason you do not see more complaints about Gi2c is for two reasons...First they employ a full time hacker and a full-time SEO guy named Igor who does this... https://chinascamreport.wordpress.com/
Secondly, they keep creating new entities that are clean and nobody has heard of them - yet! Like it is explained here at Scam.com: https://www.scam.com/showthread.php?704467-UPDATED-China-Liars-List-ESL-TEFL-Teacher-Job-Scams-Internships-Exporters-etc-BLACKLIST&p=1944379#post1944379
Scam EmailThey tried to get an up front "application and processing fee" from me last week ($299) but I saw the scamdex report on them and then started checking online. If not for your original report I would not have become suspicious. Thanks for saving me $299!!!
Note: These people operate mostly by Skype.
