Thanks, I have searched, and found nothing. Probably a scam. Thanks 😊

This is everyone's interest Apr 3

A fellow translator, got a proposition on a book translation, paying 35 USD Per page. He got suspicious and asked for help, trying to find something about this company and it was a dead end. Probably a scam.
So if you ever get approached by them, don't go for it.
Good luck everyone!
Best regards
