During this period, I have read a lot of posts about Wu Gang killing the black intermediary scammer. I was also deceived before. Regarding this matter, I think he killed the wrong person. He should have killed the "manager" sitting in the office, the real scammer. The person who scammed him might also be a victim. On the other hand, Wu Gang did kill someone, but his crime does not deserve death. There is a reason behind it. I hope the legal department can reduce the punishment for the parties involved. Isn't this stab a way to vent the anger of us victims? The real criminals are the manipulators of the black intermediaries and the local law enforcement departments. How could there be so many black intermediaries around for such a long time without the local law enforcement departments knowing? They just turn a blind eye, or even collude with them!
Now let's talk about how they scam people. In the Pearl River Delta region, black intermediaries are everywhere. Young people who are new to society are easily deceived. They usually set up stalls at places with more foot traffic, such as industrial zones, crossroads, and overpasses. Their tools are a small table, a small chair, and a recruitment sign. The signs usually say that big factories are recruiting large numbers of male and female general workers, technicians, warehouse managers, QA, QC, etc. The only thing missing is the recruitment of supervisors and managers. Experienced people can tell that this is a flaw. Normal recruitment wouldn't cover so many categories. The words on the signs are often colorful artistic fonts. If you see these, be careful! The best way to identify them is to check if they are wearing traditional factory uniforms and carrying the factory badge. Generally, when factories set up stalls outside for recruitment, they wear uniforms and carry badges. If they are wearing casual clothes, you should avoid them.
There is another form of recruitment, which is less common. One of them will stand next to the job information bulletin board in the industrial zone. When they see someone looking, they will walk over and point to a recruitment notice and say, "Look, our factory is hiring. Do you see anything suitable?" Or they might ask what kind of work you are looking for. If you say you want to do a certain job, they will say, "The HR department of our factory is recruiting over there. You can go and sign up." They will point to a nearby intermediary office. This method is quite clever. The best way to identify them is to ask them to show you the factory badge and check if it has a seal. If it doesn't, they are scammers.
If either of the above scams succeed, they will take you to the intermediary office. At the front desk, there will be several young and attractive female receptionists. They will ask you to fill out forms and pay a 20 yuan registration fee. Then she will tell you to wait while she sends your information to the factory to see if you qualify. After a while, she comes back and tells you that you are qualified and hired. In fact, she didn't send any information. Then she will charge you 200 yuan as an introduction fee and give you a receipt. Next, she will ask you to go to the manager's office.
In the manager's office, there will be a tall and imposing manager sitting at the desk. The manager will speak to you gently, telling you that you have been hired, and then come to the key point: he will ask you to pay a few hundred yuan as a success fee. He will say that we need to give some kickbacks to the factory, giving them some benefits so that you can work there. That's how the society works. At this point, if you pay more money, you will be sent to a junk factory, not the one you wanted to go to. If you realize you've been scammed and refuse to pay more money, he will say that you have abandoned the opportunity and the 200 yuan you paid won't be refunded. If you insist on a refund, several thugs will immediately surround you, scaring you into silence. After you leave and call the police, the police will usually come. When they come, all they will do is make them return your money and leave. Then they will continue their scams. The police don't care, turning a blind eye.
This is basically how black intermediaries scam people. It may vary slightly, but it's generally similar. Unexperienced workers should avoid them and beware of being scammed! If you really want to find a job, please go to a legitimate intermediary. In the Pearl River Delta region, each place usually has relatively formal intermediary offices. Formal intermediaries usually have many people waiting outside their doors, and they hold job fairs every working day. Black intermediaries don't hold job fairs. Although formal intermediaries also charge intermediary fees when introducing jobs, they will refund your money if you don't get into the factory. This is based on my personal experience. That's all I have to say. These are some experiences that are useful for those new to society.
