Finally the users of Reddit realized the true problem - Revenge from blacklisted agents and TEFL recruiters that were exposed by the CFTU. This link perhaps self explanatory. https://www.reddit.com/r/TEFL/comments/5h1v5e/this_china_scam_troll_guy_including_cftu_is_a/?st=j376t2cj&sh=03664d23
The CFTU co- administrators (Gregg & Denise) have both confirmed that there is nobody named "Bruce" connected with their organization so the guy who is attacking Bruce may have two axes to grind.
"Here's where the online warfare started IMO... 2014... This post appeared all over the internet about the biggest ESL scam in China http://chinascamwatch.wordpress.com. The staff shill users at Echinacities.com were furious that they were exposed and ASSUMED it was the CFTU because at the time they were big on exposing Identity Theft. The CFTU denied responsibility for the post and since then 3 of the ECC guys have generated pages of shit posts about the CFTU. Willyouleave is one of these 3 guys. As you might imagine Echinacities lost a lot of money and credibility.
The same shit started with Beijinger after CSP and CFTU both exposed them for taking money for ads posted by the biggest known scammer in China (China ESL owned by Rebecca T.) Over 280 complaints were removed from the beiijinger forum and the CFTU kept and published screen shots of them all. Then both ECC and TBJ began trashing the CFTU whenever and wherever they could. I only went to one CFTU meeting myself but I have two colleagues that used them to get their last paychecks since scam schools in China never pay you your last pay checks nor bonus money when you leave. This pertains to the beijinger episode. https://www.scam.com/showthread.php?704467-UPDATED-China-Liars-List-ESL-TEFL-Teacher-Job-Scams-Internships-Exporters-etc-BLACKLIST&p=1945299#post1945299 I think most of the veterans in China understand that all the expat forums make over $2million a year in advertising and job ad revenues are the bulk of that money.

Btw... I did meet Greg and Denise and they seem to be the core of CFTU management. Both have denied knowing any "Bruce" inside their organization, and claim the only "Bruce" every connected with them was a older Vice-Principal who left China in 2015 to retire. In China when people get exposed for scams they usually do one of two things from I see...They either blame a "jealous competitor" or a "vengeful employee". But from all that I read, both ECC and TBJ were caught with their hands in the cookie jar and deserved to be exposed, no matter who blew the whistle."
Those who bash and trash the CFTU are usually the blacklisted agents and recruiters whose scams were exposed by the CFTU whic operates two websites -one for the public and one for thei members. Echinacities.com bloggers especially hate the CFTU which they blame for this post http://chinascamwatch.wordpress which probably was not even posted by the CFTU.

I did attend three of their meeting back in 2015 but did not have time to do volunteer work for them which they require from all members. They never asked me to buy anything nor for a donation. They have not spammedme and only get their monthly newsletter because I subscribed to it.

CFTU always trashed by blacklisted unlicensed agents
If you visit the web site of the China Foreign Teachers Union, you will note that they do not sell, endorse, or promote anything. They have no revenue stream and ask for no money. It is a peer group of China foreign teachers that do not even pay a membership fee. There is nobody in the organization named Bruce or Anthony DeMarco. The other post here that makes a bunch of crazy allegations is probably one of the 415 illegal China job agents (unlicensed) exposed by the CFTU on their blacklists that have been published for at least five years already. Anyway, take a visit and read their web site and you should be smart enough to see the smear job in progress by the goofballs who got caught selling illegal visas of fake diplomas by the CFTU. Try these web sites and get the truth...

Vengeful Blacklist China Job Agents Trying to Smear the China Foreign Teachers Union
They have been using many tricks from impersonating CFTU "employees" when in fact all 27 staff members are volunteers and have been since 2010, This is their latest trick that I saw on the internet...
To learn the truth about the CFTU check out these links when you have time;
This is a warning for everybody who involves with overseas HR business in China (internships, TESL agencies, employment services etc.). Anthony Bruce DiMarco aka Demarco aka DiCarlo is dangerous for your business and reputation! He is professional scammer and slanderer, working in Beijing. Anthony DiMarco is also known as Gator, Slim Jim, Maximus, Galaxian, Meteor, Curious Carol, JB etc. From 2008 to nowadays a lot of educational institutions and HR companies in China became his victims: CRCC Asia, CUCAS, Gi2C Group, ESL China, Golden Bridge, ESL Café, EChinacities. There are just several most well-known names, I’m sure there are much more victims.
How is he working?
He starts to smear slander information, fake reviews, fiction stories about his victim all over the internet using following keywords: “scam”, “fraud”, “ripoff” in title.
He always places his messages and fake stories at online platforms about scam (forums like scam-detector, realscam, scam.com), TESL forums, forums for expats in China and online platforms about internships. Also yahoo answers is one of his favorite sources for cyberbullying. He never uses platforms where he must confirm his identity. He always starts smear campaign in a hot season for victim’s business (usually it’s March).
He designs fake conversations, discussions and even fake answers “from company”, using victim name to create fiction. The best example is with Gi2C Group, happened here few weeks ago. He keeps conversation in threads, uses lining strategy, designs specific wordpress blogs about victim so his slander is coming on top of Google results very fast. Therefore when victim realizes what’s going on it’s usually too late to protect reputation from damage. http://www.thebeijinger.com/forum/2015/03/20/gi2c-china-job-internships-are-not-scam
He designs few email addresses with victim name and use it sending spam and viruses to potential and existing clients.
He sends an email to victim suggesting help with removing all distractive content from Internet for 100 000 RMB or USD!!! He never accepts his involvement but saying he has specific connections. He always seems sympathetic offering his help to solve the problem.
How to recognize Anthony DeMarco complaints and fake reviews:
l He loves illustrations, using cheesy pictures or just photo of his victims in addition to message very often.
l So Far Anthony DiCarlo is rolling this business since 2008 and obviously used to work at TESL business too he has his own capital of wordpress blogs, “antiscam” websites, bunch of accounts at trustworthy scam and TESL forums, he’s using linking strategy. Every Anthony’s post has list of links which often includes:
- Scam.com – usually to threads started and running by Curious Carol, d**n the Torpedoes!, Galaxian, Mad as Hell, and Meteor
- Scam-detector – usually to threads started and running by Maximus and Raji and Witness.
- Realscam – usually to threads started and running by Tank, Frankly my dear, Ribshow, nomaxim.
- ESL.Watch.info, esl-jobs-forums.com – to any threads, seems like Anthony is the one of moderators there, otherwise what are complaints about internship programs doing at TESL platforms?
- Studentroom.co.uk – usually to threads started and running by Galaxian.
- Wordpress blogs designed by himself like chinascampatrol or chinafraudpatrol
- Thebeijinger – to threads usually started and running by Queen of hearts, Slim Jim, Katherinecox1984, Gator etc (check threads about ChinaESL and Rebecca Zhang from 2008 year, all discussions were made by one person with loads accounts).
- Yahoo answers – one of Anthony DiCarlo favorite online platforms for cyberbullying. Just check the questions threads started by user JP https://answers.yahoo.com/activity/questions?show=HGSIMSVU7FTKNFASQUJ5HHWGZE&t=g
l After victim manages proof to few webmasters that Anthony’s fake complaints has nothing to do with real reviews, Anthony aka Bruce DiCarlo usually posts new threads at very same platforms claiming to get information from “his special sources” that “company hired hackers to remove complaints from the internet”.
l After you raise your voice and try to share your experience the most of your posts with name of Anthony DiCarlo, aka Bruce DeMarco will disappear from internet in very few days.
WARNING! Don’t answer to his fake complaints, just place one public answer to very few trustworthy platforms and never start argue with him online! It’s exactly what he wants you to do to keep his thread in top of Google results. Don’t waste your time writing explanations in response to him at his own platforms (wordpress blogs, ESLWatch, esl-job-forums), they’ll be deleted almost immediately.
Use another way to protect your reputation: if your company has registered trade mark then you have legal right to ask webmaster of website with slanderous content of removing slanderous complaint. Share your own experience if you also was victim of Anthony DiCarlo (aka DeMarco aka DiMarco) cyberbullying and blackmailing (but choose platforms wisely, be sure your post can’t be deleted).
