Hello,
A ouple of days ago I received an e-mail from the above mentioned address offering me his services (e-mail signed only as "Afnan"). I replied telling that I am a freelancer, not an agency, and yesterday this person wrote me back this:

A ouple of days ago I received an e-mail from the above mentioned address offering me his services (e-mail signed only as "Afnan"). I replied telling that I am a freelancer, not an agency, and yesterday this person wrote me back this:

I don't know how this person got my e-mail and I can't find any website/information referred to Key Translation/Translation Key; I checked this e-mail address and it's not on the Translator Scammers directory, though I still have a bad feeling about it, because of
a) lacking information;
b) in the first e-mail this person claims to be a translator and few sentences later the subject becomes "we" as they were a group of translators;
c) this was the subject: "FW: Collaboration / Project translation and proofreading from and into many languages for very competitive rates"
Has someone received a similar e-mail from this address?
Thank you for reading this loooong post and for your feedback! ▲ Collapse

I would just ignore it and treat it as spam

Proz.com has good ways to check reliability of agencies e.g. confirmation of IP address. Please search on relevant Proz directories.

This is exactly what I'm doing, I just wanted to share my experience with others - By the way I am so happy that I haven't put my business details (VAT no, address etc...) at the end of the e-mail!
Youm sa3id!
