Offer from a Lingotek TranslationServices 스레드 게시자: Alexandra Leander

Just reaching out to the community because I have via email been offered to translate 68 pages in 4 for a total of 1700 USD and the communication is so sudden and scarce that Im afraid that it is a scam. Has any one else been receiving the sam offer, or have any experience working with this company?
Really happy for any opinion.
Best
Alexandra

Found it!
Is the email same like this one from facebook?
This email on the picture isn't company's email, but that doesn't necessary means that behind this scam isn't someone from the company.
And sorry my facebook is on Macedonian language.

They provided the following number in whatsapp claiming that it was their "payment director": +1 (343) 901‑8872

What strikes me as strange is that their pitch sounds like an ongoing freelancer arrangement (Principal duties & responsibilities - You can work from home or anywhere with a stable internet connection ...' and 'all language pairs' needed, and then it goes on to ask for one particular project of 41 pages, for £75/page.

Also, the form letter has typos (Greetings form Lingotek Translation) and not modified (please confirm by Date) from a template, no doubt. ▲ Collapse

Could be this guy.
He probably moonlights at a translation agency for a bit of extra cash.
