See more Dear colleagues from Proz.com, I hope that you are safe and healthy from The Corona Virus Pandemic in USA and other countries. I’m writing to you because I received a phone text message several days ago offering me a Spanish translator position in an accounting firm. I got this text message in my cellular phone. I tried to call the phone number mentioned in the text message but every time, I call this number the phone doesn't ring or I get a voice mail. It’s very strange that every time,I call them, I’m getting an answer machine. I’m suspecting that this text message could be a scam. The phone number is from the state of Colorado here in USA. I will be glad to copy and paste the copy of that phone text message for you. I want to verify if that text message is legitimate or if someone is trying to do a scam to me. Thanks for your help and cooperation, Spanish native speakers, feel free to write to me in Spanish. Best regards, Yugoslavia I will be glad to provide the phone number if you write me directly to my profile. Here is the copy of the text message: Good Morning, My name is Philip,I am the administrator recruitment secretary of Katalyst Securities LLC. I contacting about your resume(reviewed by the human resources team), and I'm happy to invite you to participate in an online job interview starting today as a translator for our accounting department. If you are still interested please reply. I got afraid to reply to this text message because I thought that this was a scam. ▲ Collapse | | | Natalie Poland Local time: 14:27 Member (2002) English to Russian + ... MODERATOR SITE LOCALIZER
