Advance payment scam messages to translators from potential outsourcers
on:
27 Sep, 2010, 13:03:26
Many translators have recently reported being contacted by alleged outsourcers offering translation jobs, to be paid in advance using certified checks.
This is a sign of the "advance payment" scam, where the victims are sent forged checks in excess of the agreed-upon amount and then asked to wire back the excess payment to someone else (to be lost once the checks bounce). Translators are encouraged to take special care when finding themselves presented with this type of arrangement.
Learn more about this and other scams in the ProZ.com Wiki article on detecting and reacting to false job offers and other scams.

Καλημέρα,
μάλλον κάτι τέτοιο μου συμβαίνει από χθες, όταν έλαβα μήνυμα μέσο ΠροΖ από κάποιον κύριο Loi Chang (κινέζικο όνομα), ο οποίος από τα λεγόμενά του ζει στην Αγγλία, αλλά το IP του δείχνει ότι είναι από τη Νιγηρία. Ο κύριος αυτός είναι πρόθυμος να με πληρώσει έναντι με τραπεζική επιταγή. Η ηλεκτρονική του διεύθυνση είναι chengofficedpt@aol.com.
Επίσης, βρήκα και αυτό το άρθρο που σχετίζεται με τη διεύθυνσή του:

.
Έχετε το νου σας.
