Hello,
"Patrick Victoria" allegedly from MOTIONRECRUTIMENT, offering a translation job of ca 100 pages (not willing to share subject etc.), presents a telegram link for contact.
Ongoing scam under different names and "vendors".
| | | |
I’ve received several times exactly the same text allegedly from different people. Lately, I've been targeted by “Australian publishers” who are interested in my services but don't know how to write their own email addresses....

Yesterday the same Lavoie Gus sent me the same e-mail. I suspected because of the rate he said they would pay : 2.500 euros. Thank God I decided to check his name! And thank you all for sharing this scam. Dilma Machado

They don't give up, and keep pestering! I'm not even registered on that website!
No, I'm not doing you any favours, or establish a partnership with scammers like you, Mrs Favour... take a walk! ▲ Collapse

So this is scam?
I received an offer some days ago.
Same text, a certain Mr Martínez Fabricó by mail first, who derived me to Clifford Kwngawo via Whatsapp.
50 pages in 2 days!!! Some chapters of a book by French writer Victor Hugo!!! It surely can be found in several languages. It doesn´t make sense, don´t you think?

1. The use of titles like "Mr." or "Mrs." ;
2. Their own (ridiculous) names and/or surnames, "Ester Mellio", "Favour Justin", "Patrick Vitoria" "Paul Rodriguez", etc.;
3. The overly generous rates they offer;
4. And finally the scams that make some fall prey to them, such as having to pay to work!
There are other red flags, but these are the ones that stand out right from the start, at least for me!

That's a bummer. ▲ Collapse
