Just got contacted last weekend. Thank you for posting this, Maria! It really saves my day.

This is his message via Linkedin:

Hi Renaldi,

I'm the Marketing & Vendor Management Coordinator of Bering Lab, a translation agency based in Korea, with specialty in highly specialized/regulated areas such as legal, patents, life sciences, and financial.

We are seeing a growing demand for ENIndonesian translation work. Browsing through your profile, I noticed that you have done work as a Patent Translator. Just wondering if you are still available and interested in such work as a part-time freelancer? We have an impending project about to start soon, so would appreciate your prompt response.

If so, please complete a short form at apply.beringl.com and we will be in touch with you shortly.


Thank you
Md Omar Faruk

These guys are lazy... it's 2024 and they are using the same old document... changed the name of the sender from Scott to Grace Moris. The document can be found online here: https://www.etu.org.za/toolbox/docs/building/conflict.html#what please note the South Africa domain, here the text of the message:

''Am sure you will understand the pressure that comes with organizing such a big and important event, I received a notification confirming that payment sent for my Project will be deliver to you anytime from now. I was trying to email my client and I got a note in my email. The payment made to you by a client of mine whom I instructed to take care of the payment made a mistake of issuing the entire amount for my daughter's wedding planner and the project on the Payment sent to you instead of the exact amount for the project, I'm sorry for the wrong amount on payment. I was told she just got a new secretary, The instruction given to her was to make a separate payment to two different customers and she issued the whole amount ($4,760.00) on your name instead of ($800) I’m so mad right now and I do not know what I need to do because the other amount was meant for my daughter's wedding event planner. I know you are honest and God fearing. I actually wanted her to send the remaining of the balance to my daughter's event planner to take care of the wedding logistics and preparation. Please consider this a favor that I want you to do for me, I sensed you have integrity to maintain, deposit the check into your account or through mobile deposit for electronic verification and as soon as the money reflect in your account, you can proceed with the project and send back the difference in cash to the event planner, deduct the amount for your job and help me send the remaining balance to my daughter's event planner, thanks for your understanding and I pray God almighty will grant you your heart desires as you do this favor for the actualization of my Daughter's dream. I will contact the event planner right away to see which way is easier to get the rest of the fund over, am so sorry for the inconvenience, and hope to hear from you ASAP.''

Any contact message without full name, address and phone number should be of concern.
Greetings

This person found my information from ATA website and requested for me to translate 11,638 words (44 Pages) from English to Chinese on Public Organisation Procedures Phase 1. However it sounds suspicious when this person called James ([email protected]) insisted on proposing a cashier check or bank certified check for the payment even though I stated that only escrow payment is accepted. Yup, this is a scam and I am glad to have dodged this
