Laowai Career Center Gi2c, Yuri Khlystov, Wiseway Global Education, Getin2China, Olympic Escort Service Fraud Alert! Loawai Career Center expanded from Gi2C China Job & Internship Scam Hangzhou & Beijing China
Russian scam artist Yuri Khlstov now is operating his 5th China Scam company in the last 10 years and once again his primary victims are young college students, university grads, and the unemployed of the UK, America, Canada, and Europe.
He specializes in baiting people with dreams and fake job and internship vacancies with 5 star Fortune 500 and MNC employers for which you always qualify until after you sign their contract and pay money that will never be refundable unless and until you show up at his office with a CCTV news reporter.
Bait and switch is his modus operandi and victims only realize they are screwed after they spend a pile of money to travel to China and are told that the company you wanted to work for hired "someone more experienced than you just yesterday". But you are told not worry because an vene better opportunity will be available in 3 months with the same company. In the meantime you are persuaded to teach English for some unlicensed black market "learning center" for chump change (like $2,000 a month, when you originally were promised $8,000 a month).
They bring you in on illegal visa so that in case you "make problems" for them they can call the cops and get you deported because you are an illegal immigrant worker without the mandatory Z visa (work visa) they never arranged for you. Although you are told the office is in Hangzhou, it is really in the Haidian District of Beijing.
All the tesimonials and "reviews" you were spoon fed by their sales reps were all produced by paid shills. Even my GF was offered $1,000 to make a 2 minute video testimonial before we had our blow-out with Yuri and his girlfriend. He has a side-kick named Igor (another Russian) who spends his day between buying testimonials and deleting negative posts on the internet about Laowai Career Center, Gi2C, and WiseWay Global. Igor is a talented hacker who brags he can make anything on the internet disappear within 2-4 weeks. This is the only reason you do not see a lot more complaints online.
Everytime this scumbag gets caught ripping off young people he always blames either a jealous competitor or some disgruntled former employee. And because he has been in China for almost 10 years he ha sthe local cops in his pocket for only a few thousand dollars every month in bribes.
He has been featured many times at scam.com and other scam sites for Laowai and his his other Gi2c China Internship scam as well

Also just google "Gi2c China Internship scam" which is his other big swindle operation. This cretin never gets prosecuted because when people file charges against him, he keeps postponing court hearings until the defendant's visa expires. Not many people can afford to spend $5,000 to fly back to Beijing for every court hearing over a $10,000 loss.
Until just recently he was charging an up-front $299 application and processing fee, but his former employee Helen says now he just sells all the hundreds of resumes and passport scans he receives every month to identity thieves, so this way he makes sure to profit from everyone who takes his bait.
Avoid blind ads that advertise great paying jobs in China that he posts on thebeijinger.com, echinacities.com, Gumtree, Craigslist, Sinocities.com, ESLCafe, and ExpatCN.com as well as his "Laowai Career Center" branded ads. The reall good-paying jobs are fabricated to hook you. His sales people are really good and friendly. They really could sell ice to Eskimos or tanning lotion to Africans.
Once you arrive n China you are basically screwed because nobody there gives a rats a*s about a foreigner getting ripped by another foreigner. There is no BBB, FTC, or even a fraud squad there that will even give yo the time of day. Anyone who really wants to work or intern in China is hereby advised to read all of page 7 at this link (((REDACTED)))
Scam baiters are invited to give this Russian a good ride that he deserves.
