Today she sent me 2 emails mentioning a long story that was not related to translation or even linguistic matter.
I warn all my colleagues not to deal with this woman, her email is: santiagoluciana@yahoo.com
She is claiming that her name is Luciana, and that she is from Madrid, Spain. ▲ Collapse

Welcome to the club! Mar 5, 2019

Dear colleague,

Many of us have been-unfortunately-contacted by this scammer!

Thanks for mentioning it.

I hope that Proz would ban those kinds of scams/scammers once and for all!
