I sent them a translation a month ago. They answered every e-mail within minutes and told me I will be paid in 20 days. But no payment yet and the agency plays dead, no responses to my e-mails.
I'm afraid that they keep changing names and e-mails since I haven't found any website and google finds their e-mail only in translationdirectory and translatorstown.
I hope this isn't true - I too am awaiting payment for work completed.
Thanks for a reply. Let me know what happened. I hope they don't owe you much.
How many days is it since you completed the job? And how many days since your last contact with them? I am interested in whether they still use the mail address and any additional contact details would be appreciated.
1 month since I completed work. one month since they used this email: lingua.services@hotmail.com. I have however, contacted the Danish company they were working for and warned them about the company.
Lucky you. I don't even know the name of the company they needed the translation for. In case they don't pay, you can tell them all that you do not give them rights to use the translation. It might work, at least for the client.
Btw if you know who the client is... the client propably has some billing info about Lingua Services. Wouldn't the client be so kind and tell us the e-mail address or other contacts they still use? I think the client should be interested in this, considering the fact that if LS doesn't pay, then the client uses the translated materials without your permission, against the law.
I have sent messages to the company but have not heard back, I have also emailed this to the scammers - but they probably don't care. How do you follow them for new jobs - what do we look for to know it's them?
If they use this site again, the IP address should be the same.
Moreover, if the company is trustworthy, I suppose you should be able to google its website, references etc. This one has neither. And you can ask them for some kind of prepayment. My fault for being naive :)
Same thing happened to me with Evelyn Mildred as he or she called himself or herself. Posted several jobs on translatorscafe within roughly 30 days in October/November this year, then after 1 month of online presence deleted his/her profile on 8th November 2014. I guess other naive or inexperienced translators got caught up in the scam with me too.
Just looking at job board at translatorscafe now and there is a job post which has all the marks of "Lingua Services" methods, perhaps or even very likely it's him/her, quite easy to believe actually, see:
1. Very brief and very similar job description:
"We have a requirement of Czech to English translators.
Please send your CV and Best rates at : XXX"
Compare it with the job post from 14th October I responded to:
"We require Czech to English translators.
Please send us your rates and cv at lingua.services@hotmail.com"
2. Google doesn't know the name of the job poster in connection with the name of the company "Ultimate Translation".
3. The person joined only day before yesterday and has already posted 4 jobs in several language pairs.
4. Comes from India.
But how to check the IP address?
How do we ban them/warn others?
Ha - just emailed them and had their email removed - keep looking out for their scams and we can take them down!
As regards the IP, you can track an IP adress from a received e-mail. Plus, translationdirectory shows the IP when entering a job, probably due to scammers.
Now you can be sure that it's them and they change names. Did they reply anything to your mail? Anything about your payment? I wanted to ask them for mine as well.
And what name did they use?
An evil one would be telling them I'll finish the translation they now need and then play dead.
Considering that the job sender has sent many jobs for different languages, he/she seems to be a member of a translation agency (perhaps in India, because its writing style).
It looks like you did not read all the messages here.
Here it is the information.
Name: Darshan Kumar Dadlani
Home Address T 29/441 S.k colony warshia Vadodara Gujarat 390006

Tax Pan no: APKPD2244N / Passport no: K5861208, issued 25OCT2012.
In such case one can also approach to end clients for payment which is best option, i did same for one of US based agency.
It seems I have just experienced the same. i translated two texts (medical domain) for them a month ago. I recently saw this thread. Now I am sure my invoice will not get paid. They outsourced me at translatorscafe. @Maria-D: I think it could be interesting to exchange details about the translations, as I plan to contact their client. I can provide you with my e-mail-contact.
Hello, German translator,
ask whatever details you want to know. My casual e-mail is delucamaria@seznam.cz. If you know the e-mail of the client or agency, I'd be interested.
I wish I had had the smarts to look at this thread first. Live and learn. This agency as well as Evelyn Mildred is a SCAM. There is NO company behind this person. I have done approx. 60 pages of Norwegian & Danish translation for them over two weeks and two months later I am still waiting for my first payment. I know now I will NOT be paid. This person/company needs to be blacklisted so no more translators waste their valuable time, effort and money. Btw, I was "recruited" by them through translators cafe in Canada.
Sounds like Darshan Kumar Dadlani has been up to his old tricks again (a notorious scammer who is based in Dehli and uses fake names). Further information (including home address, tax number, bank account number and passport number): Note 39 at www.translator-scammers.com/
Hi WTF, could we get in touch? What you say seems very interesting to me.
German Translator - you can contact me!
Hi Maria,
Sorry to learn that you are in the same situation as I am.
I am still waiting for payment of 2 invoices in October.
First, there were ("Evelyn Mildred") answering quickly with an urgent translation. But when the moment went to pay, nobody...
I also noticed that there was the same logo as in Christina Florence from another agency Linguistic Solution linguisticsolution99@gmail.com. linguisticssolutions.
I wrote them and they told that they also worked with them but were unpaid... Quite confusing!
We are victims of unhonest guys through the web, promising job. I am new in the translation industry and was disgusted by such scam.
The worse is that I did not find anything about this mysterious Evelyn Mildred. No way to be paid back...
Best regards.
linguisticsolution99@gmail.com - scammer! Of course, it is the same person!!!
This character also uses proxy servers (hence different IP addresses).
You can find all his info: name, home address, tax number, passport(notarised copy) at Note 39 www.translator-scammers.com

Hi WTF, I have called both numbers, only the second one answers (first one switched off. The person on the other end does not seem to speak English.
Do you have any other contact info?
Best regards,
He is surely this person.He uses Fake IP adresses,so therefore i asked my IT guy to trace his IP but we found that was the proxy server IP which was taken online for few days..
There is no way to get my payment too even though I live in Delhi because IP adress was used of Delhi but the person was sitting in Gujrat hidden.

Since you are in India, maybe you can call this scammer. His numbers are still valid (and he doesn't want to speak English apparently):
00919540417232 & 00919737615008.
Or rather, that person does not want to speak English. These are his numbers. I also had an address in Dehli (will have to look for it).
Here are further contact details I got from this scammer:
a3 janta flats delhi
india
110099
Tel: +919558447021
He uses this phone number in other scams as well (fake model agencies, fortune telling, etc)
What I did is to contact the company mentioned in the translation documents I worked on. They have in turn found the company that hired this third party scammer and I will get my money now (2 months late). The scammer is no emailing constantly begging for me to remove my complaint - just precious!
Could you share his e-mail?
Does he use the same e-mail as before when he hired you?
Unfortunately my translation documents didn't mention any client.
Hi Tanja,
I am pleased that you finally got a contact to be paid.
Please can you also send me the mail with client's/agency details?
Kind regards.
Hello,
I have a german translation and we are in the same situation.
The customer we worked for indirectly was:
http://www.ayushakti.com/
Hello guys, do you have a lawyer or a process against this scammer?
I think I can get an Indian lawyer to pressure this guy.
If you want to contact me. My mail is calbimonte.daniel@gmail.com
Hi Tanja,
Could you send me the information about the client?
I did a translation into german in the medical field
Thank you very much
My e-mail is peter.s.meissner@gmx.de
Same here, another medical translation into German, in my case for "Christina Florence". Could you forward the client information, please, as my documents did not contain any?
My email ist timonkersting at gmail.com
I completed an unpaid series of translation jobs which amounts to 250 USD and . As far as I know, they belonged to a Danish Company on insurance.
I think that the best way to get unpaid translation fees is to contact with the related company (companies). I suggest that all those who are concerned to the issue give a general description of the relevant company (country and specialty, for example). If they were common in most cases, a common letter signed by all concerned will be sent for the company. I think that they certainly know all about the scammer (including the website, company name, etc.) before making any payment.
the documents that I have translated belongs to a "Danish company that is involved in insurance activities".
