I'm sorry, what's the issue here? . When I look back on the places I had to work in order to get where I am...this isn't so bad. I never accepted an unsafe situation, I never paid a bond, I never sold myself as slave labour, but I did run across some ugly places and jobs in my time. Go to the interview with the attitude that you won't do the above things and you should be fine, otherwise, hit the unemployment line. This didn't seem that bad so I tossed it out for consideration. People did that for me when things were tight for me.

And, instead of calling the company out as something bad, you posted some go-nowhere, vague comment that helps NO-ONE. If it's that bad, call them out, details, something.

No, I´m not joking.

But maybe my comment was not very clear. Let´s try this:

In other words, I was trying to thank our friend here for posting this job. What is wrong with that?.
