Beware of bigtranswork.com. They are currently targeting translators on this site. The PM is called Angela (fake name). This is a fake company/agency from Gaza. The criminals behind it are: KHALED TRANS, OMAR ISSA & LANGUAGEMENT.
Thanks, we have just blocked bigtranswork.
I have just been contacted by them. Got duspicous because he asked for the full version of my CV. Certificate dates and many details. What usually is not common.

BE AWARE of BIGTRANSWORK.com SCAM!
The company is DEFINITELY NOT BASED in Maryland, US!!! Their English skills are not of a native English speaker and then they ask you to sign the following 'so called' Work Contract:
Work contract
Can you give us permission, authorization and agreement in order for us to send your CV to our clients?
If yes, we will remove your contact details to avoid direct contacts with clients. In this case, we will use a free email which will be put inside your CV in order to receive projects and therefore we will reply on your behalf.
We can also email your certificates if needed to clients on your behalf. We will give you the projects and in cases when you are not available, we will give the projects to other translators.
If you agree, you will be considered as a close team member and consequently you will be eligible for any developmental plan. This is part of group work based on mutual cooperation because the translation market is full of competition.
Please let me know so that we start work. If you agree, sign this authorization and agreement document.
Your name

"Dear Translator,
I am Emma Smith from Bigtrans company. I am a project manager and a mediator between the translators and the clients. The client will give me a project either it’s a translation, proofreading, editing or other services. So, the idea is to take your permission and authorization to change small details of your CV such as email and contact details if you agree. And I need you to be assured that you will take your right completely and on time. You only need to read our contract, sign it and send it with your CV and cover letter. We only change contact details in order to send the CV to clients to get jobs and you have the full and complete priority to work on those projects. In case you are not available we can send the jobs to other translators.
The purpose of this authorization and permission is to have cooperation with you to get projects by sending your CV to clients.
Don’t hesitate to agree to our work because you are dealing with a trustworthy company that will give you a good job with a good price.
Please do feel free to get in touch for more help.

I've just received an offer from them. Though they seem to have a website, it seemed fishy to me and I'm glad I've checked here.
They sent the e-mail from the following address: razan.translation6@gmail.com

They sent the e-mail from the following address: nour789yahya@gmail.com
I was really shocked to find out this thread. I got emails and fulfiled some projects with this “ nour789yahya@gmail.com”, then they just ignored payment. I wished I had checked information before.
Hello guys! I have to let you know that I finally got paid from nour789yahya@gmail.com. It's about 4 months to get the payment, still it's better than being "spam". So, just wanna let you know.>
