Dear collegues,
I have also received a job offer from this scammer in May 2011, but luckily I didn't accept the job. The strange thing is that the email I received from the scammer (stijloffensief@gmail.com) was a reply to an email that I had sent to a Chinese translation agency with a different email address (different from the scammer email). I checked the translation agency on the Blueboard and I found out that it has been banned from posting on proz.com. So there is a link betwe... See more Dear collegues,

Hello Marianna,
Thanks for your reply. However, in order to look into this further and make sure that a banned outsourcer is not passing jobs through the site, support staff needs more information.
Would you mind submitting a support request via the support center then and provide all relevant information, http://www.proz.com/support ?
Many thanks in advance.

| I've been contacted too | Jan 5, 2012 |
Hello everybody,
I was contacted by this person today at about 10 a.m. (Chinese time). So the email was not from Netherlands, most probably. Only if the real Arnoud had insomnia or something.
I was contacted by this person several times, but his proposals were not very interesting for me, so I declined all of them. By the way, most emails were sent in a strange time frame, strange for Europe I mean.

Last proposal was interesting for me, so I accepted it. I even started to work with it, but then I decided to check the Internet. Two email were used:
arnoud.altingvangeusau@gmail.com (latest emails)
stijloffensief@gmail.com (first email this summer)
So I contacted this person and asked to forget my email. ▲ Collapse

If you want scammers' accounts to be taken down, you should write one or more support tickets and let ProZ.com deal with the matter.

| Please beware of the Dillon Zheng Scheme/Scam | Mar 28, 2012 |
It's the kind of ID theft scam this person is most skilled in, and it's a shame that he's a Chinese guy just over 30 years old. The first case was revealed back in early 2007. The numerous fake identities he used have been reported and logged on the Blue Board.
Of course, in this case, I am not sure it's indeed this Dillon Zheng (first Chinese name Xiangwei) who did it. You know, scammers learn very fast here, so it's possible that others may follow the example of Dillon Zheng. I on...

Of course, in this case, I am not sure it's indeed this Dillon Zheng (first Chinese name Xiangwei) who did it. You know, scammers learn very fast here, so it's possible that others may follow the example of Dillon Zheng. I only know that he is one of the most famous ID thieves in online translation business, and in China.
For more information about how he executed such ID theft scams, please google "dillon zheng", "dillon523", etc.

Hello all, I'm another victim of this scammer. If I had controlled better is credentials, I could discover he stolen these before to begin work.
