Forum for Translators: Expert of Linguists




Expert of Linguists               [Reply to this message]

I recently received the following email from Expert of Linguists. The price they are offering for the job is a joke!

Hi ,


We're looking for a English > German translator for a large project translating an event ticketing site.

Approximate word count is 40000-50000
Priority will be given to translators who work with memoQ (license can be provided by us for the project`s duration).



If you are interested please let me know (as you understand the subject matter is very easy).



We have 4 weeks for the project.


We can afford 0.025 USD per new word.


If you are interested we will have to ask for a short sample of about 200 words to see how you handle the file for the technical aspect and also to check the style of writing – they want is to in a marketing style.

Hello,
in November I received a small urgent EN>IT editing job from a phantomatic company named "experts of linguists". I did the job within 1 hour. It was going to be paid 5,00 USD which I never received.
After 2 months they contacted me to ask me to adjust some Spanish words in the translation, only neither was I in charge of the translation nor Spanish is one of my languages!
This company does not seem to exist: they do not have a website and they never sign their emails with full name and surname.
I suggest you never ever take a job from these people.

Yesterday I got paid $7 for a job I did in January. There really weren't any issues with him/her/them. I didn't even had to ask about the payment since he/she/they contacted me to provide my paypal details.

I work for this company regularly. It is true, the rates can be very low as this is quite a small company, but they are honest and the projects I did for them have always been paid, and promptly (one time out of dozens, the payment was made two months after delivery date ; the rest of the time, I received the money within two weeks via PayPal).

I have been working with Expert of Linguists for half a year. Very friendly and helpful people, payments are always on time. I enjoy working with them.

I am satisfied with my work with this company. They are reliable, understanding people and payments are always on time.

It is not just the issue of payment (although there are many complaints about non-payment elsewhere and even here).

This scammer steals your CV identity. He or she (the outsourcer uses a fake name) sends out your CV to agencies and pretends to be you.

Bascially, this crook steals your identity, your work and your money.

Don't work for these scammers from Gaza!!!

Expert of Linguists is a group of scammers from Palestine (Languagemet). The positive comments are actually written by them.
Re[5] Expert of Linguists paid up               [Reply to this message]

Thanks to this forum, Expert of Linguists(Gentle Translations) immediately paid up for two of the projects. Just one more payment is due and they have promised to pay.

I have also requested TD to delete the previous message.

I had the same experience, very friendly. Rates are a joke, but negotiable, if everybody would refuse to work for penuts they would pay more... Payments can be very late but were always completed.

Hello,
I have been working with this agency for three years, they always make payments in time, great in commmunication, give clear instructions, are always in touch if i have questions. Rates are quite different, but it is always your choice whether to accept it or not. But in any case working with them is a pleasure.
Kindest regards,

Elena

@Linda Young, maybe somebody is using your identity. Check here: http://www.jrdias.com/jrd-translator-scammers.htm I noticed that you are mentioned as a victim.

Expert of Linguists (aka Gentle Translations, Languagemet, etc)is a fake agency that belongs to the major scamming network from Gaza. Don't work for them. They will steal your CV identity.
