I have received the same email from 4 different email addresses. The last one I replied: Hello xxx, If you require my professional services, please write from a professional email address. Sincerely... Normally I trash anything from Gmail addresses I don't know but after the 4th time, I got angry and replied. Have a wonderful day!

Received exact same email from "James Cole 2016" I asked to see the document before providing a full quote, knowing the whole thing was scammy .... he sent me an article written 40 years ago by a discredited journalist. I've seen better scams. | | | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Protemos translation business management system | Create your account in minutes, and start working! 3-month trial for agencies, and free for freelancers!
