Holders of diplomatic, service (official) passports, or journalists and media employees applying to visit mainland China should still submit their applications directly to the Consulate General in Mumbai.

Besides the visa fees to be collected on behalf of the consulate, the CVASC will charge every applicant an additional amount of service fees regardless of approval or rejection of his/her application by the consulate.

Ask for an official invitation letter. If it's fake, the employee will not be able to provide it. BTW, you need the invitation letter to apply for the work visa to China.
