Re[3]: Experience with Agatha Colten
Hi guys, sorry I didn't go all the way to the oldest message and I am not sure how this thread started but here is my experience:
2 years ago I posted an ad for a job looking for some more people to add my colleagues finish a German into English job.
Agatha Colten (or whoever this person was) applied we sent her to do part of the work. I sent the address to mention on her invoice and asked that she send us an invoice, with data of her bank account to get paid. She never contacted me, until one month later. She gets in touch via gmail IM, telling me she is travelling in Jordan and needs money, asking if I could send her money through Western Union. As all this sounded fishy to me, (I started suspecting her, when the job she turned in was rubbish according to our proofreader) and I reminded her that the ad explained clearly that we pay only through bank transfer. Tonight, after 2 years she sends me an email with an invoice saying, either I pay or she will take legal measures (here again, she didn't mention any bank data, only some paypal account). To tell you the truth I totally forgot about her, and I was ashamed I didn't pay some translator who worked with us. She almost scammed me. Luckily enough I still had all the previous correspondance in my inbox. All I did is ask her to send me thebank data and that we will pay her everything. Until now, she didn't reply.
She used agatha.colten[at]gmail.com to contact me.
Her paypal address was translator1980.money[@]gmail.com
If any of you have a problem with her, you should probably report her to paypal.
Good luck!
