Forum for Translators: translationsecrets.com - is this company safe?
Dear Translators,
I have just received the email below asking me to send my CV etc. I have searched online and I have found various complaints about this company, especially in this forum. I am always suspicious of professionals who send emails with mistakes (I've counted about four), but I need some work. Has anyone worked with them successfully, or should I stay away from them?
Many thanks.

Hi Roni
NO THEY ARE NOT SAFE AT ALL.
These are the same Guys under MUCHDO (which steals identities from translators) and LANGUAGEMET, who never pays his translators!
They are all based in Gaza and have been banish from any websites to post translation offers.
Avoid them at all costs!

Yes these guys are the ghost of LanguageMet. Never bother even to make a reply.
Roni, look up their payment practice on the Proz.com blue board.
Thanks very much to both of you. I certainly won't be working with them then.
