Hi everyone
I received a translation request for 90 pages and these people claimed they are doing it on behalf of the publication since I picked it up that it's from a published book.
I accepted the offer and good money honestly but I requested higher rates cause I knew I am going to put my heart into the work and spent 2 weeks of days and nights and weekends working on it.
The assignment was divided into two parts, and I had completed both parts but yet submitted the first part only to see how they go with the payment. Last Tuesday 29 Oct they sent me a remittance advice claiming they've made the payment and I noticed since then the money hasn't come through.
They insisted that they've made the payment and it should be an issue with my bank and asked that I proceed with the second submission but I refused. Called the bank this morning and guess what, there was no pending credit to my account.
So I start to get into the realisation of things and I googled their name and came across this page.
I am so heart broken not only because I had made some hopeful plans and dreams on the money but also because I went through sleepless nights to get this done and just feel used and abused....
Terrible feeling honestly.
Hope this becomes more of an awareness for all of us (and myself to begin with) to do more research before accepting a task

The same scammers are now pretending to be from Translationr*port. They even send their emails from the domain with the same name, the only difference being that the fake website ends in .org while the real one ends in .com.
I recommend that we don't reveal in public how you can smell a scam when communicating with them, so that they can't elaborate their attacks.

And I gave them a funny answer:
Dear Tiffany Mohoud,
Thank you so much for considering me for this prestigious opportunity to translate a movie script of such cinematic grandeur. I mean, translating 22,117 words in two weeks for £5,200? Wow, what an incredibly believable offer! It’s not every day that a total stranger entrusts me with such a sensitive, high-stakes project without ever having worked with me before. Truly, I am honored.
The incredibly tight deadline and your thoughtful touch of asking for 40% of the work upfront (for which payment is totally assured after review) just screams professionalism. It’s almost as if you are so confident in my ability that you didn’t even think to confirm my credentials or experience.
I must also compliment the way you formatted your email—those bullet points exude corporate seriousness and efficiency. You even attached the script! What a treat to receive such a genuine document, which I’m sure is entirely legitimate and not just a decoy for wasting my time.
That said, I do have one concern: Will the £5,200 be paid in Monopoly money, gold doubloons, or IOUs? I only ask because this project absolutely does not sound like the too-good-to-be-true schemes I’ve seen floating around.
Please rest assured that I’ll be in touch right after I consult my lawyer, my financial adviser, and possibly a spiritual guide to ensure I’m ready to give my absolute best to this once-in-a-lifetime scam—I mean, opportunity.
Looking forward to the next installment of your creative writing.
Warm regards,
Peter
P.S
The script you provided is from the movie "Flightplan" (2005) by the way, starring Jodie Foster. ▲ Collapse
