To everyone,

I guess someone may be using my name.
In order to avoid any problem, if you received a mail concerning a translation with a reply adress "[email protected]", just know that this is not related to me.
It is not my professional address, not even a private address.

Have a great day

Hello Véronique, sorry to hear that your suggested namesake is trying to disconsider your good name doing something bad.

However, most colleagues should finally realize that it's not a specific name, address, or wording/presentation what makes a fraud, but the very idea of non-equivalence behind it all: one gives something worthy getting nothing useful in return.

A lie has no real name for seeking a false trust it pretends to be anyone.
