Dear Colleagues,
I was conctacted by Nick John (punkieu@gmail.com) with the
following mail :
"I got your contact through a directory. I have a friend by name
Rose.
She has a project that need to be translated in various
languages,
she needs know what language you handle. Here is her email
roserich6@hush.ai

After having contacted Rose and told her my rates, I was sent immediately
a cheque ten times more the sum I asked.

I avoided being in trouble because of exchange of information in this website
and feedback by people contacted by the same person.

Thanks to all who helped me.

Best regards ▲ Collapse

Nothing new... Sep 5, 2012

Just check these posts (as well as the whole thread): http://www.proz.com/post/1893061#1893061 and http://www.proz.com/post/1990805#1990805

In the former life your "Nick John" signed as "Nick Ungefug", "Michael Bruce" etc., etc., but used the same email addresses, though.

Thanks Sep 6, 2012

Maybe I took for granted that I had read all the posts at issue and because of them I avoided being in trouble. The post i sent was meant to be a tribute to all posts I found and colleagues who got in touch with me and helped me.
Thank a lot one more time.
