Unfortunately, you forgot to mention a couple important things: - if the contact was via ProZ.com or through some other site or directly by your email; - if the contact was via ProZ.com, please provide the IP number from the email (or the profile number if the user was logged in) Without this information this is just a description of the issue which would alert other users but would not help to block the scammer. | | | | Natalie Poland Local time: 22:12 Member (2002) English to Russian + ...

Thank you Maria Teresa. So this is the same old scam behind which there is a small army of Nigerian scammers calling themselves Joel William, Lily Anthony, Bella smith, victorparker, Williams Thomas, Jeff Brown etc etc etc | |

I don't think it was via Proz, it could have been in response to some emails I recently sent via Translators Cafe, but I can't be sure. I just had an "interview" with "Dr. Kelvin Justus", he disappeared after a few uncomfortable questions. Red flags were - "Hi there" letter without my name, my email being in the hidden copies field; the interview is by text only; no specific answers to my questions. Funny, offering $125 per page he was asking what language I translate into. | | |

Yes, it is most likely a scam. Why? Have a look at the profile picture of that person in Skype. In the bottom right corner, you can see @anna.aresi. Anna Aresi is apparently a translator based in the US. There is a Instagram link on her website. If you follow that link, you can see the exact same picture there. And no, I have never worked for Interpol... | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Another use of a big pharmaceutical company's name to scam translators CafeTran Espresso | You've never met a CAT tool this clever!
