No. Contrary to what ZaZona.com says, if the LCA says that the H-1B will be paid $50k, then that must be the actual salary that shows up on the H-1Bs pay check. If there is a body shop involved, they will only take a cut on top of the guaranteed salary. Generally, “headhunting fees” such as those claimed by ZaZona.com are illegal.
