These last days I have been receiving instant messages through Proz titled “Translation job offer” with the short text “Are you a translator”. I’ve submitted a support request and prompt action was taken, but I wonder if any of you have experienced the same or if I am the “chosen" one?

I've had these as well. Usually directing me to a Telegram account. I reported them as spam.

After reading the email I immediately reported it as scam and the profile was remove. Apparently the scammer created a new one. Perhaps the scammer could be named "Telegram".

You aren't the only chosen one :-D Jul 10, 2023

I have got the same messages twice.
I have contacted the Support and reported them. Proper action was taken against these "scammers" and their profiles were removed.

If I received such an inquiry ("Are you a translator?"), I would immediately reply "No, I am a lion-tamer".

Same here Jul 11, 2023

I did receive the same email twice from two different profiles. I reported them as scam and both profiles were immediately removed.
