Thanks for the heads up, Maria Laura.
I've recently ventured into the freelancer world, I am at a loss at the amount of scamming going on. I've had to implement a "suspect first, and research, research..." attitude re. job offers.

De nada.

Yes, between the number of scams and the amount of shi*ty AI-related jobs, we are all becoming more like text detectives than translators.
I feel like the freelancing translation field is like quicksand, and scammers use AI to get more sophisticated and pass undetected.

So I spend a lot of time researching every single job offer because I don't trust any offer; even the offers posted here at Proz felt fishy sometimes.

These are difficult times, so we have to help each other.
