Re[4]: Has anyone worked with Best Translation/Laszlo Nagy




Re[4]: Has anyone worked with Best Translation/Laszlo Nagy

Dear peers,
Please read the next text and go to the link I am sending to you in order to acquaint with a list of scammers sending e-mails to translators and interpreters. Maybe you will see in this list your old well-known scammer that sent you fake check or false offer to translations. And please think about why this website that you have profiles only send you such a scammers e-mail /on behalf of.../.Perhaps we have to write to CEO with these questions.

Here is the text, you are welcome to comment:

Nigerian Scam Alerts Targeted at Translators/Interpretors
"Nigerian check" and similar scams have long been a problem for the unwary. In recent years, the scam has evolved to target interpreters and translators specifically. The basis scam works like this: A "potential client", sometimes an individual but recently also an "agency", sends a mass email asking about obtaining interpreting/translating services in the target's country. When they get a response, the "client" agrees to normal or even higher than normal fees and wants to make an advance payment for whatever reason. The target then receives a check or money order for the advance payment to deposit in the bank. Shortly thereafter, the client cancels the job and requests the money be refunded, which the uninformed target then does. But the check or money orders subsequently turn out to be forgeries or drawn on closed or non-existent accounts so the target's bank reverses the deposit and the target is out not only the deposit but any funds that he/she refunded to the client.
These scams are often characterized by:
* Poor English
* Gmail or other "anonymous" email accounts
* Higher than market rates offered
* A lack of verifiable contact data
* The use of a legitimate translation agency's contact data EXCEPT the email address
To help prevent freelancers from falling prey to these scams, Payment Practices is establishing this list where you can report names and other contact data when you receive an offer you believe to be a scam TARGETED SPECIFICALLY AT TRANSLATORS or INTERPRETERS. (Reporting every suspicious email your receive would quickly overwhelm the database.) Just enter whatever information you have below to add the attempted scam to the list.

P.S. I do think seriously to move my profile from this site, because I received already 6 or 7 such a offers. Do you think the same?
