Hello,

I would like to put an alert , there is a person sending job offers for 700 pages to italian-english translators, if you receive them ignore them, his false name he is using an outsoucer's name and used an Yahoo or msn mail, i was lucky enough to contact the original Outsourcer,who was kind enough to reply back and asking me to advise all other translators to be careful.

Here is his email below :
first email:

This is a internet scam. This individual is a fraud using my name and company name. We are in the process of tracking him down and pursuing legal action against him. Do not do any work for him, you will not be paid. This is an internet scam.
This individual has really been active the last 2 weeks. He seems to really be working your area. Please warn your counterparts. You are very right, I wish everyone would notice the yahoo mail address. It is not professional and should be an alert just as soon as they go to our web site.
