I NEVER entertain offers like the ones mentioned. When I go to a new town I walk through the front door of a well-known school/tutoring agency and apply there directly.

I learned the hard way by hucksters (on-line and offline) in Thailand that pose as recruiters! A lot of teachers end up NEVER getting paid at all!

BTW, Thailand is just about the WORST place to teach English. The schools resemble human zoos more than classrooms!

I'm happily employed by a well-know firm in Malaysia.
