It's not worthwhile to scam someone with $0.02/word.

I just received an email from [email protected] with two documents to translate. Is this a scam? Don't they pay you or something?

She's back..... Apr 4, 2022

I had an email from "Emma Smith" today too. What I don't understand is how the scam actually works. She's offering USD 100, and asking me to translate 11,000 words in 4 days. Who would even accept that rate and deadline?!

Hasn't asked for my CV, NDA, or any personal data.
I'm confused!

well yes but..... Apr 4, 2022

Maybe I should have said intrigued?

I've been corresponding with 'her' and I just can't see what she's gaining - unless it's a free translation (unlikely).
She's given me a fake company address and no other details; but still hasn't asked for any of MY details.
Maybe it's the old bank transfer / cheque clearing / overpayment scam?

I received a message from Emma as well.

I am tempted to run the document through google translate and send her that to see what happens next.

Yep! Apr 5, 2022

good idea.
Is it a manual for an OREC mower?

I'm still corresponding with her, she's saying she can't send any company details as the website is under construction. And the company address she's give me, in Canada, doesn't exist. When I asked for a PO, she's just replied "PO number 112".
So so shady but I'm still wanting to know what the scam is!!

Company too doesn't react to my mails and it's been 4weeks after the supposed payment date.Collapse
