JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST TRANSLATOR SCAMMERS
TRANSLATORS: Accept their jobs. Delay delivery. Deliver nothing.
COMPANIES: Setup bogus, juicy jobs. Demand identification. Pay nothing.
AND, ABOVE ALL: Always expose their names and email online.
Yes, we are watching you, scammers!
Pay attention, scammers — Our Declaration of Resolve

Do not doubt our resolve to harm, disrupt, and destroy your operation of impersonation of legitimate translators and the theft of their professional credentials. Together, the volunteers of the TRANSLATOR SCAMMERS INTELLIGENCE GROUP will do everything we can to put you out of your criminal business.

And because our Group has enthusiastic and knowledgeable people everywhere in the World (covering 19 time zones), you, scammers, will always have someone on your tail, looking over your shoulders, and reading your emails and your stolen and fake CVs. We also count on a wide network of translators and companies to send us your scamming emails and CVs, and on the many hundreds of our "special" email addresses, which are now infiltrated in your mailing lists.

You, scammers, are not welcome among the translation community, because you are but common thieves preying on it!

This is our solemn pledge, scammers:

We will expose, relentlessly, mercilessly, and ruthlessly, your true, fake or hijacked names, your affiliations to "façade" companies, your (fake) addresses, your email addresses, your phone numbers, your fake CVs and your mode of operation!

The above paragraph also applies to collaborators or supporters of scammers. Your moans and whines of "I didn't know" or "I am not a scammer" will have no sympathy among us.

We will show no tolerance for your dishonesty, trickery, chicanery, swindle, and deception!

Our rule is simple: You, scammers, make it public, we publish it here for everyone to see!

We will be both everywhere to watch you and nowhere for you to find us.

We will deny you the anonymity you seek to impersonate and harm hard-working translators and reputed and honest translation companies.

We will contact the people you contact to expose your true or scamming identities.

We will contact the victims of your impersonation and the true owners of your stolen/fake CVs.

We will contact online job posters to let them know about your practices of bidding for jobs with your stolen and fake CVs.

We will contact the legitimate owners of the documents you may commission to be translated to let them know about the criminal practices you used to get them and your abusive disrespect for any rules and sense of confidentiality.

We will report your criminal activities and identities, true or fake, to any legal authorities, domestic or international, for proper prosecution and indictment.

We will promptly denounce and expose, in the most conspicuous ways possible, any attempts you may make to bribe us.

We will spare no effort to cut off the flow of dishonest moneys into your financial accounts.

We will initiate and support all efforts to flood your email addresses with unpleasant messages and/or offers of bogus translation jobs.

We will require you to provide certified proof of your purported identity.

We will use all tools to locate and trace your email addresses and computers and will corner you and induce you to talk via Skype (with video, of course!).

If you want to stay in the darkness, we'll put you under a very bright spotlight!

You will have no rest among us!

The Scam Explained: They Steal your CV, your Work, and your Money
TSD Bulletin 03 / 2016: The Authorization and Agreement Scam

THE SCAM EXPLAINED BY THE SCAMMERS THEMSELVES – 1:
«In our company, we work as a group of translators, and each one of us have to search for translators to take their permission for using their CVs with world clients and talk with those client on the behalf of the translators who should have given us their CVs».

THE SCAM EXPLAINED BY THE SCAMMERS THEMSELVES – 2:
«I see nothing wrong with the "way" we do it, we ask translators to give us their CVs (or we just steal them without asking...) to start marketing for them, clients who pick it up just send us projects for translation and we then forward them to our translators (i.e., anyone working for 2 or 3 cents or we just use Google...), we get our fees out of it, that simple.» – Khaled Mohammed / Languagemet

THE SCAM EXPLAINED BY THE SCAMMERS THEMSELVES – 3:
«We make fake cv to take the projects from the compnies then we give it to professional translators. They give us high qaulity and deliver on time and we are paying for their. We are not Scammers. » – Mete Gazi (Gaza) / mete.gazi@hotmail.com

THE SCAM EXPLAINED BY THE SCAMMERS THEMSELVES – 4:
Intro mail from Languagemet:
«Our company would like to ask for your permission giving us the authority to send your CV and cover letter to our clients. Please find attached a copy of the agreement. Your response is much appreciated at your earliest convenience.»
On my queries, I received this description:
«We're a group of university graduates working online as mediators between the freelancers and translation companies. We work on marketing CVs for the freelancers and then receiving projects on their behalf. Projects received on your behalf are sent back to you after removing companies' contacts. If you don't feel comfortable working with us, please inform us as soon as possible.»
Source: Blacklisted Translation Agencies

THE SCAM EXPLAINED BY THE SCAMMERS THEMSELVES – 5:
1. Sign up the attached Confidentiality Agreement (1)
2. Your updated CV and Cover Letter
(i.e., your "cover letter" will be used as their email copy)
3. A copy of your certificates and diplomas
(i.e., the scam will be more credible) (2)
4. Passport, ID or a Driving License (one of them is necessary)
(ditto) (2)
5. Your VAT number if applicable
(ditto) (2)
6. Samples of your previous work
(wow, they sound like a legitimate company, right?)
7. 2 reference emails or 2 reference letters
(which the scammers will use to make the scam look nice)

(1) The "Confidentiality Agreement" contains the following:
Our policy is to send and publish the translator CV to these clients who we deal with. Marketing translator CV to these clients will be very beneficial [to us, scammers, of course] and will lead to ongoing paid projects. We have the right to market translator CV with a cover letter to our clients. Bingo! That's the scam!
(2) You're giving the scammers the rope with which they'll hang you: when scammers get hold of this info/data, they'll impersonate YOU with YOUR OWN NAME (to match YOUR documents/data).

WOULD YOU SIGN THIS AGREEMENT?
«BILD shall edit, moderate, and amend the CV provided to match the job needs (...) The [Translator] shall not know about the edited details in thy CV which include changing the contact details mainly (...) BILD is the only party entitled to call off this agreement

The CV Scam Explained
The CV scam explained in the scammers' own words (Hasan Kamal, Wordsvoice)
The CV scam explained in the scammers' own words (Doaa Doaa Ryad, Magic Trans)

It's very simple, indeed: scammers STEAL legitimate resumes from professional translators and change the names (SOMETIMES) and emails (ALWAYS); in some cases, they do not even bother to change the name and street address of the legitimate translator, but they do change the phone number to an IP phone with an applicable area code or use no phone at all, and the email address (you guessed, to a Gmail or Hotmail account). See the Anatomy of a Scam: "Eleonora Mazzotta / Elena Mazzotta".

In doing this, scammers spare or respect no one: from translators living in poor African countries to those living in richer European or American countries, everyone is prey to their scamming madness. And, hiding behind their "Authorization and Agreement Scam" (they also call it "Work Contract!!!) they'll make you believe thay're marketing translators' CVs, because they've been given permission to do so. THEY LIE!

Then, they go online, trying to lure bona fide, but unwary, clients with their "translation skills", or responding to online job posts with their fake CVs. Their claim to have authorization to "market" translators CVs is a hoax. And, even if unwary translators have signed their unidentified and legally null carte blanche "authorizations", scammers never tell their clients-victims that they are, in fact, dealing with impersonators.

Translators should also bear in mind that when scammers create a Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo/Outlook address with THEIR name or associated with THEIR CV, they will be left with a footprint/identity in the Internet NOT CONTROLLED BY THEM.

When looking for their victims (translators or companies), scammers never provide any verifiable personal information: names are mostly false, "office" addresses of their "companies" are ALWAYS fake and emails are signed with fantasy names, one name only, or no name at all! One Palestinian scammer claims to be based in Turkey, but the address is none other than a bank's branch address, another (also Palestinian) gang claims to be based at the US Embassy in the UK and a "Maria Amaranto" lives in a municipal food market in Madrid!!

If a job lands on their desk, they most surely deliver a Google translation, send the job to the cheapest operator, which, in the end, is either not paid or just paid peanuts, or just deliver nothing or some useless crap! To appear legitimate, scammers ask translators for "test" translations, but they'll promptly accept Google translations, even with F* or S* words intentionally embedded on the final text sent to them (good move E.)!!!

Only when the clients receive the scammer's invoice they find out that they are to settle the payment to some unidentified PayPal address or to a bank account belonging to other faceless, unknown individuals living in countries unrelated to the "original" identity. And when they are asked for positive proof of their identity, they send crap like this, respond with «I am so sorry to say that, I don't share any private detailes because hakers» or initiate all sorts of threats.

if you do not send my payment which is overdue, I will give your details to an UK debt collection agency, and they will contact you by Monday. Plus I will let all my colleagues know that you are in the black list as a non-payer. (...) Pls do not believe the hackers! They are using diffrent names such as Basil, John Small, Suzuki Tanaka, Nabil, etc.. in order to deceive the gullible and the naive and get money from them by saying you won the lottery or sending business offers, or diseased African dictators money left in a Swiss bank and so on. They could be Nigerians.— Email from ghost "Tanaka Suzuki / John Small", after being asked by "his" victim to provide proof of "his" identity before payment. "Tanaka" is still waiting for USD 1387.00 (since 2012). Source: ProZ / Scams.

I will do and exert high efforts to collect my payment through collection agencies. I will send reports including proof to translation portals so that they include your company in the blacklists. I have a list of 26000 translators from TranslationDirectory and also a list of agencies so all of them will never deal with you. I will never ever give up, and I will send you daily threat and I will do many things that you can not imagine. I have so many friends in your country and they will help me for sure. — Email from ghost "Christine Nicholson", after being asked by "her" victim to provide proof of "her" identity before payment.

I will contact my lawyer and thousands of translators to ban your company.. — Email from ghost "David Linton", after being busted before payment.

You are speaking with me about many things that you didn't have the right to talk about it with me. You have the right just to talk about my translation which I do it for you and you don't have the right to discuss anything else with me. I was worked with a lot of companies and they all paid me and send to me a lot of projects because of my professional work. It seems that you will not pay me my money! If you will do that, then you are unfaithful company and I will talk about your company to thousands of translators to tell them not to deal with you and I will publish that on the internet. Hope all of that will not happen if you will be positive with me! — Email from ghost "Elena Mazzotta", after being confronted with "her" fake CV, fake address, fake phone number, fake VAT numbers (yes, two...), fake everything.

After several requests to provide a street address and tax registration in Germany, scammer "Elisabeth Thomas" responded: «I am very sorry to tell you that I am not available for your project. You can assign it to another translator». NOTE: As of 10MAY2016, "Elisabeth" keeps a paid profile in ProZ (elisabeth-trans). Claiming to have "17 years of experience", "her" ProZ was opened only in Feb 2016).

Dear Colleagues [sic] translators — My name is Sander Wilkens. Please be aware of this company [***]. They assigned me a big project on April and agreed to pay me within 35 days, now there are more than 90 days passed , nothing received yet. Please help me to clean the world from scamming (LOL). For the company — If you will not pay me my deserved money, I will send this email to every translator. — Spamming email from ghost "Sander wilkens [sic]", after being refused payment for job gotten with a fake CV.

Ghost Karla Valdemar, after being busted:
I sent the translation on time and the quality is good , please pay me.
If you will not pay , I will put your details on scammer accounts and all social media ans I will put my translation files.
I did not sleep to do it , You need to pay at least 50 %.
I will pray for you to be cursed by God.

Janice Owen / janiceowen343@gmail.com is a ghost created by scammers who responded to an online request for a translator of Latvian, highly specialized in a specific field. "Janice" attached an hilarious CV to "her" message, and when requested to submit a form in Latvian (as requested by the end client), "Janice" responded:

When someone don't wants to work with your fucking scammed organization. Then you go against him. Do you know i can expose your TC profile and can uncover you on Facebook groups also ? I hope you understand, if you didn't then you will see the worst. You bastard.

The same company also received another application (from Egypt) for the same job:

am an expert in the field of translation of this language and proofreading, and I am ready for this because I am distinguished in it and I will complete it as soon as possible

And the CV included this gem:

I am a scientific researcher and holds American and Egyptian degrees in the field of behavioral sciences and human development and I am always wide to attend scientific conferences and various conferences related to the fields of research or translation and important topics also regarding translation and also take care of translation courses between languages of them Latvian language and also I love very much every time learning a new language which made me a translator of many languages and perfect from the point of view of the rules.

Beware! Some of these scammers have their own fake profiles on translation forums under the name they use on "their" fake CVs and others even use the names of real translators.

Recently, with the noose around their necks because of their public exposure, and in a desperate attempt to launder their ghost IDs and to give them an Internet footprint, scammers are now populating the Web with blogs and social network profiles where such IDs are mentioned. Read more in our TSD INFO BULLETIN 01 / 2014

When publicly exposed, scammers disable their Gmail addresses and create new ones to scam another CV, or just the same: some CVs have been recycled with 6, 7 or 8 different email addresses. In a couple of months, the CV from a colleague in Belgium has been scammed 11 times!!! with 11 different names and 11 different emails, and one particular address in France has been used in 9 different CVs.

Scamming translators is a business. And scammers have a Business Model.
Scammers' Business Model
My CV Was Scammed! Now What?  ➤  
Spotting Fake CVs  ➤  
Scammers, Emails, and Email Headers
Taking on the scammers
"But they paid me!"

Blatantly unaware (to put it mildly) about the way the CV scam works, a translator claims on a ProZ thread about 24Translate (one of the most active CV scammers around): "These guys paid me!!"

Or this other translator, who, after claiming to have accepted work from "Loredana Maxen", he's willing to "to try once more time with her, and let you know how shall that work out"...
Here's what we have to say to these people:

They paid you (and some other suckers) to keep their scammig business alive.

In other words, the job you did and for which you got paid, was gotten with a fake CV, stolen from somebody else, maybe even your own CV.

If you don't understand their business model yet, see the attached image.
By accepting jobs from scammers, you are just fuelling their scamming business. And, by posting comments like this, you're just fuelling them even more. Shame on you!
And, yes, we reserve the right to expose your public claims and give them the publicity they (and you) deserve. What part of "relentless", "merciless", and "ruthless" don't you understand?
Fake CVs Gallery
VIEW / DOWNLOAD THE SCAMMERS' CVs  ➤  

Below are some examples of FAKE CVs made by scammers. In their scamming frenzy, anything goes:

Scammers will ALWAYS send you their scamming emails from FREE emails accounts, such as Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook or, yes, Saudi Arabia domains (outlook.SA)! Open the email header and you'll see (in 99% of the cases) a Hotmail (or other free account) message sent from a Gmail account...

Sometimes, scammers will use one name, "Sen Omer", as the email name, but with "Omer Sen" at the signature, or pose as a "native Iranian" called "Claire Haroon" (!), a "native Portuguese" called "Danial Walsh" (!), "Carl Galician" (!), Pasco Lopez (!), or "Nina Kiran" (!), a "native Japanese" called "Miho T" (!), a "native Russian" translator called "Erica Alves" (!) or Rebecca Adam (!), a male called Susan and other fantastic claims...

Out of utter stupidity and carelessness, scammers often betray themselves: "Rosanna Shirley", a ghost created by scammers, circulates a CV stolen from a senior Italian translator, born in 1942. Therefore, "Rosanna", born 1972, "she" says, claims in "her" CV": «retired on grounds of age»...

EVERYTHING written by scammers is in English, and ALWAYS in English, even emails from a "native French translator" sent to a French translation company. Knowing they can't write anything in proper English, scammers will always ask their translators-victims for a "cover letter" when they request their CVs: the "cover letter" will then be used as the body of their emails...

ONE EXAMPLE: When asked by an Italian company why "she" didn't communicate in Italian, "Italian translator" Elena Mazzotta responded: «I talk with all my clients with English language even if they are Italian, because of a lot of reasons such that to find my emails easily when I need to search about anything, to improve my English language and a lot of things that make my works easier.»
ANOTHER EXAMPLE: Asked to reply in French, "Alexia Stewer" ("French native", she said) replied that «prefers English in order to better manage the emails».

Scammers' CVs will show no phone numbers or fake and impossible phone numbers (like, +012 345 678 for the UK), phone numbers rendered unusable by an extra digit or a removed digit, or phone numbers just belonging to someone else (sometimes, even the real owners of their scammed CVs):

ONE EXAMPLE: Asked in Dutch by a Dutch company to provide "her" phone number, "Native Dutch" Kelly Arno replied: «I don’t use my phone in my work, but I have 24 hours' access to my email, please feel free to contact me any time».
ANOTHER EXAMPLE: Asked by a US company to provide a phone number for a direct contact and confirmation of idenity, "Ana Hanley", a ghost created by Palestinian scammers with a CV stolen from an Argentinian translator, responded: «Please note that I don't use my phone number in my business, you can contact me here via email, I am online 24/7»

Scammers will also tell you about their "outstanding" academic titles from 4 universities (sometimes phantasmagoric!) on 3 different continents (and all different from the one where they were "born and raised"), all in a 6-year time period! They also take MAs or PhDs in Linguistics right after graduating in Mechanical Engineering (or vice-versa) and other hilarious combinations...

ONE EXAMPLE: Deema Peter / deemapeter45@gmail.com claims to live in this fantastic UK address 60-185 Sk.rzewo Wrzosowa St., England ,.30, having a BA in Translation at New University of Lisbon in Portugal, 20 years experience, and to translate from German into English and vice versa. Moreover, I can translate from German into Spanish, Italian, Dutch, French and vice versa. What, no Portuguese?

Scammers will claim to live at addresses farmed from real estate sites, but with modified postal codes, or at hilarious places like "221B Baker Street, London", "42 Breedon Hill Road, Paris, France" (!), on a "76th floor" (!) in Lisbon, Portugal (the tallest building in Lisbon has 30 floors), at the US Embassy in London (!), at 60-185 Sk.rzewo Wrzosowa St., England (!), at Redd Road, El Paso, France (!), at the British Museum (!), at the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel (!), at a bank branch in Turkey (!), at "no. 82" of a street in Paris, France on which numbers go up only to 52, at a non-existent "Estrada Logo Deus" in Romariz (Portugal), at "13 Gordon Road Port Talbot West SA12 7HY" in (yes) China (!) and at ""Str. Hatisului 3, Bl. H11, Sector 3" (!!!) or even in a municipal food market in Madrid. Thank you, Google Maps! Sometimes, they just move into somebody's house without any notice: "Agnes Kooijman", a ghost created by Egyptian scammer Abdallah Ahmed El Sheikh lives in "Pastoor Mulkenshof 24, 6222 Maastricht, Holland", which is, in fact a Language School...

Where Scammers Live: Fake and Fantastic Addresses on Fake CVs

Posing as genuine "translators", scammers will join Facebook groups, create Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and other social media profiles, and shamelessly display their fake profiles on all translators' portals! On their scammed CVs, they will proudly display these profiles as proof of "authenticity"!

Scammers will send you delirious POs from "freelance project managers" signed by "Anna" or "Jasmin" showing no verifiable address, no phone numbers, no anything, mailed (always!) from a Gmail or other free email address!

Posing as residents in the United States, scammers will, nonetheless, and without even batting an eye, sign W-9 forms with their fantasy names and hilarious (and fake) non-US addresses in no man's land, but, of course, showing no Social Security Number! And, posing as residents in Europe, they will happily provide stolen or fake VAT numbers...

"Italian translator" Elena Mazzotta provided this FAKE VAT number on her FAKE CV: 07097791045.
When asked about it, "she" responded:
«Actually, I don't know if the VAT number is valid or not because it is for my friend. I don't have VAT number since my income is too little to have a one. I think you will pay me via PayPal, so you don't need to VAT number.»
– Hey, the VAT number CANNOT EVEN be from "your friend", since it’s invalid/nonexistent!
«Actually I work with a several companies (Italian and others) and they didn't talk with me about VAT number. I didn't care about VAT number since my income is little and I don't have a one. I want my money, so please don't speak with me about VAT number. I was very collaborator with you, you should be collaborator with me.»
She's still waiting for "her" money!

"Danish" translator Karla Valvemar's response, when asked to provide identification:
«I lost all my identification papers ,university degrees and my family when my house was burned on New Year's Eve, so I need money to be able to extract papers from government departments.»

Some scammer stole a CV, uses it with the victim's name to bid for a job. When busted by one of our "associates", he explains that he has to "eanr for food":
«You think you are smart. Everybody has to do many many things to earn for food. And you only think negative. You will die with this negative mid.»

About their fees, they always look attractive, and, they are "always negotiable". In a word, they want you hooked! That's why some translation companies, looking to save yet another cent, get precisely that: hooked, and, sometimes, scammed! Does greed pay?

Go ahead, call the scammer on camera!

REMEMBER: Video calls are the ultimate weapon against scammers, and https://videolink2.me is a great tool to expose them: free, in web (nothing to install) and no registration needed. Just open your browser, allow the tool to use your camera and microphone and send the link to the scammer. You'll hear the most amazing excuses: "bad connection", "camera broken", "I'm driving", "no camera", "I have a sore throat", "I don't use chat for business, just email"...

Let's expose the scammers PayPal and e-payment addresses!

Some of the most important weapons in the scammers' arsenal are the email addresses they use to collect money from their victims: PayPal or other e-payment platforms. For them, these addresses are as valuable as gold! If you received an invoice from them, you have already been scammed, but, at least, you are in possession of this important information: their PayPal email address! Send these addresses for proper public exposure! Of course, you should not pay a cent to people who base their operation on lies, deception, ID theft and hijacking translator's CVs.

Also, because PayPal is NOT supported in some countries, including Palestine, the openly use of the system by nationals of those countries may be a clear indication of violation of their own banking and tax laws. Who owns the PayPal accounts using the IDs below? Which banks are involved in these transactions? Are any taxes levied on this scamming operation? TO WHOM ARE THE SCAMMERS' VICTIMS PAYING?

PayPal does not maintain a list of countries where it does NOT provide any service, and it does NOT publicly detail why it does not service particular countries. Media speculation suggests common reasons could include insufficient regulation and security in a country's banking system, failure of a country to comply with U.S. tax law, or a U.S. trade ban affecting a country.

I want to thank you for putting up this site as I have just identified some ghost translators that we have used (their work was awful too). I am currently corresponding with one of them who is demanding payment and is refusing to send me any ID :-) They WILL NOT get any money from us. — H. (UK)

Who are these scammers?

Most of these scammers are con artists from Arab (namely Palestine, about 98%) or Eastern Europe and Asian countries (namely, India or China). Their Internet presence is nonexistent and their fake names (or just variations of their own names) are seldom found on any translator forums, no matter how impressive "their" CVs may look like. BUT, TAKE GOOD NOTE: SOME SCAMMERS USE THE REAL NAMES OF THEIR VICTIMS AND OPERATE FAKE PROFILES ON TRANSLATION AND SOCIAL MEDIA PORTALS.

In most cases, the emails sent from Palestinian scammers show interesting telltales in the headers, like the IP addresses used by the scammers' computers, shown on this image. So far, close to 500 emails sent by Gaza scammers show these telltales.

Scammers operate under various identities and umbrellas:
a)

As "TRANSLATORS": They steal a reputable translator's CV. Then, they modify the name for a fantasy one and (ALWAYS) the contact details to display their own email address (the whole scam is based on the email addresses owned by the scammer). When they keep the real name of the translator-victim on their FAKE CVs, they'll also keep any links to the translator's pages on ProZ or Translators Café: «See, I'm real!» With this stratagem, they just expect you to click on their email shown on their FAKE CV... See also "The Scam Explained".

b)

As "TRANSLATION COMPANIES", with websites showing no ownership data, addresses, phones, or any other verifiable information: Languagemet, Gentle Translations, Translation Secrets, MuchDo, Safety Translations, 24Translate Limited, Powerful Translations, etc.

In other instances, they just associate fantasy names to their Gmail addresses: Experts Of Linguists Agency, High Quality Translation, Purity Translations, Translators Success Group, Quality Makers Team for Training & Translation, Fly With Trans, Smart Language or translatewithoutborders1@gmail.com.

In yet other instances, they operate plain fake "companies" (with websites to match), based in "respectful" locations like Paris, France, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, Lisbon, Portugal, or the "City of London" (always in fake or impossible addresses), which are nothing but scamming outfits from Palestine, Egypt or Jordan scammers, like, e.g., 24Translate, Arcadia Languages, BasicTrans, Best Translation Services (Lang-BTS), Bona Verba (now Lona Verbas), Bridges Institute for Languages and Development (BILD), Gotranslang Co, Great Translate, Help You Translations Co, Linguistics Theory, One Touch Translation, Orca Translations, Shaymus Translation Services, Transhome, Translation Community Co., etc.

Operators from these fake companies contact translators from their Gmail addresses, and, at the time of payment, they just vanish into thin air. When translators contact the "companies" via the emails shown on their websites, the standard answer is «We never contact translators from Gmail addresses»(*) or «Ahamed (or whoever), left the company a long time ago.»...

DON'T BE FOOLED! Some translators hired by scammers claimed to have been paid for their work. Of course, they have. Scammers pay (some jobs, at least), to keep their scamming business alive. However, when the job and its amount are juicy, chances are scammers will stiff their translators and keep the money all for themselves.

(*) Languagemet (the mother of all scammers) alone is known to operate 44 Gmail addresses!

c)

As "FREELANCE PROJECT MANAGERS" or "independent project manager", "freelance mediator" or "freelance project coordinator": names are almost always fake and always untraceable, and email addresses are always from free platforms (mainly Gmail). One of such "managers" – Yusuf Nasir (associated with Languagemet) – provided a Kenyan company as a reference. Their response went like this: «We haven't received any job from him yet!». Another "manager" is known scammer Imad Almaghary. Once exposed, these "PMs" just disappear to resurface later with different names and emails.

d)

As "EMPLOYEES OF TRANSLATION COMPANIES", i.e., impersonators of real employees of legitimate translation companies using the real (or fantasy) names, addresses and links to websites from legitimate companies. With one email, scammers will pose as translators and, with another email, they will act as "project managers" for their scamming "companies". Sometimes, scammers use this cover in a pathetic attempt to hurt a translation company that has denied them payment after discovering they were dealing with an impersonator.

e)

In SCAMMING NETWORKS: hiding behind façade companies or fake identities, they issue referrals to each other (one more example here) using their own ghost identities.

ALWAYS use Gmail, Hotmail, Outlook and other free email addresses, and ALL their communications and documents are presented in English, no matter the "native language" they claim to have (e.g., a "German" scammer will ALWAYS write his messages in English, even to a German translation company, and will respond in English to any messages in German). When asked why she didn't write Italian to an Italian company, scammer "Elena Mazzotta" replied this: «About our conversations, I talk with all my clients with English language even if they are Italian, because of a lot of reasons such that to find my emails easily when I need to search about anything, to improve my English language and a lot of things that make my works easier»!!!

Given the large number of email addresses used by scammers, they created what they call "monitor" addresses (See Note 3 for more info). A "monitor" email address is a consolidating address to which responses to emails sent from all their addresses are collected, i.e., an address serving to monitor all their email addresses. When they get careless, they respond to emails throuhg their "monitor" addresses:

abeer.monitor@gmail.com

wordsvoicemonitor@gmail.com

When confronted with anything they said, did or wrote (and found to be false), they will promptly deny and repudiate everything with the most fantastic and ridiculous arguments, including the producing of fake documents "signed" by ghosts, the claiming that they've never seen their stolen CV before, or denying being associated with the scamming joints used as their business façades. Honor, ethics, accountability or even shame are words absent from their lexicon. Let's see Elena again: The VAT number you provided is FAKE! «Actually, I don't know if the VAT number is valid or not because it is for my friend. I work with a several companies and they didn't talk with me about VAT number. I didn't care about VAT number since my income is little and I don't have a one. I want my money, so please don't speak with me about VAT number» or this response from an Indian scammer caught with a CV copied VERBATIM from a sample CV in Dayjob: «If u copy a CV from internet as a Template then what is the problem.» What, indeed?

When requested to provide evidence of their FAKE identities, scammers promptly initiate threats. In several reports sent to us, busted scammers threaten to:
destroy your company
put you in the blacklist at all the sites
tell all translators about you
you will see the results
I will take you to hell
I want be paid, or I speak bad of you with thousand translators
I use your email for contact with translators, you will pay from this"
, and other hilarious statements! One busted scammer from Great Translate resigned himself to his fate: «I know that you will not pay me and I know that you take this wrong information from this stupid website» (i.e. our Directory).

And if you try to talk to them on camera, these are some of the excuses you'll get: "camera is broken", "I have no camera", "I don't have Skype", "I'm driving", "I have a sore throat", "I don't use Skype (or phone) for business" or (our favorites), from "Carlito Tronci": «I want to express my apologie on your request because I have a speaking problems, my vocal cords damaged due to an old accident.» or from "Liu Duan": «As for my phone and Skype, I only use them in my family affairs and I think that it's a personal option and it's my right to have a comfortable life apart of my work.»

In the case of scammers from Palestine, given their own created ill-reputation, they'll do everything to avoid being placed or even related to their own country: they'll say to be based in Israel, in Turkey, in Egypt, in the UK, in the US, in Paris, France, in The Netherlands, anywhere, but Palestine. Their ghost "companies" are based in the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel (!), in the headquarters of the World Zionist Organization (!), in the offices of The Israel Philatelic Service in Tel-Aviv(!), in a bank branch in Turkey (!), in the US Embassy in the UK (!), in the Alhambra Hospital Pharmacy in California (!), in inexistent addresses in Paris, Turkey or London, in a US address with 2 simultaneous Zip codes (!), in the same number (33) of a "Main Street" (yes, in English) in Gaza, Palestine and in Mendoza in Argentina (!), in a Israeli settlement in the West Bank (!), in the same address of a translation company in The Netherlands (!), or in an underground parking garage in Italy (!). Or, this hilarious "official" excuse from Deema Rayyes to claim Israel as her country: "As for my location it is true Palestine (...) I can also use alternatively both codes [sic] the Isreali and the Palestinian and such is official". We have collected all addresses and phones used by scammers.

Make no mistake about the size of this con operation: The "hundreds or thousands" (in their own words) of CVs stolen and hijacked by these scammers, together with the number of translators claiming not being paid for their jobs or companies reporting the provision of "lousy" and "abysmal" translations is simply frightening!

YES, THE WORLDWIDE TRANSLATION COMMUNITY IS, IN FACT, FUNDING A SYNDICATE
OF FACELESS CRIMINALS!
Scammers don't want
to market your CV.
They want to market
themselves, but with
your credentials.
Because they
have none!
Need some tools to fight the scammers?
Wait! It gets worse! Scammers offer to "market" your CV...

THE SCAMMING FAÇADE, IN THEIR OWN WORDS:
«In our company, we work as a group of translators, and each one of us have to search for translators to take their permission for using their CVs with world clients and talk with those client on the behalf of the translators who should have given us their CVs».

TSD Bulletin 03 / 2016: The Authorization and Agreement Scam
SCAMMERS' PROMISE: "You will reach the top of success to get many projects you hope"
A "Scamming and Impersonation Agreement" disguised as "Confidentiality Agreement"
Scammers asking translators to give them the rope they'll use to hang them...

Why do these scammers ask for your permission to modify your CV? If you ask that, you're not getting it! They couldn't care less about your "permission", although some ill-advised colleagues might have fallen into their trap. They keep sending those mails, so they can claim to have somebody's permission to "market" someone's CV, in case anyone asks them about a suspicious CV. That's exactly what they replied to one our (extremely rude) messages questioning the legitimacy of one of their fake CVs: "We market hundreds or thousands of CVs and we didn't know this one was false". Got it now?

Sometime, scammers don't even bother to change the legitimate "Author" name, the real address or even the photo (some even include a photo in a CV that didn't have one...) from the CVs they steal. THEY CHANGE ONLY THE EMAIL ADDRESS. Also, the language (always English) used in their messages is normally uneducated and contains typos and grammatical errors. However, poor language alone does not mean one is a scammer, of course!

These "authorization" forms NEVER show any name, address or phone number of the recipient. At the most, they will show a non-verifiable name and an untraceable Gmail address.

TAKE NOTE: Scammers may also use email addresses, other than the ones listed in our Directory, e.g., lucja.biel3@gmail.com AND lucja.biel@hotmail.com. If you receive a scammed CV from a Hotmail address, there is ALWAYS a Gmail address associated with it (because scammers hide behind Gmail accounts, which do not allow IP geolocation). Just open the FULL header of the email message to see this Gmail address.

Got a CV in Word format? Look at the
file properties.
They reveal more
than you think!

I know that you will

Busted scammer
from Great Translate

Spot the scam, bust the scammer

In a suspicious CV, look for these oddities: In File > Properties > Summary, look for an author name different from the name used by the scammer on his/her email. In File > Properties > Contents, look for some word in Arabic. In File > Properties > Statistics > Last saved by, look for odd names (see below). Look for other variations of these signs. Our Directory (PDF) will give you more informations.

NOTE: Scammers have no place to hide: even if their DOC/PDF files do not carry these hallmarks, there are always other ways to spot FAKE CVs. The Internet is an unforgiving environment for unscrupulous people, and our FAKE CV database and document forensic tools (including metadata extraction) will uncover data unkown even to them.

EMAIL DOMAINS USED BY SCAMMERS

Many scamming emails originated in Gaza are sent from (1) their own domains, (2) cheap mass mailing services or (3) spoofed domains. When in doubt about the origin of an email message, always look inside the email header, for it may contain valuable information.

Underlined names below appear in more that one list.
druzhbanarodov.ua
Druzhba Narodiv Translation Bureau, Kiev, Ukraine
NOTE: Warned about the use of their email servers to send these fake CVs.
NO RESPONSE WAS RECEIVED

Protect yourself from the CV scam

WHAT TO DO: Be professional online. On Translation Portals, use your own name and consider using an updated photo. As for your CV, see 3. below. For your professional life, it's also a good idea to use an email address provided by your own mail server or ISP (see 7. below).

WHAT NOT TO DO: If your real name is "John Doe" and you call yourself "Amenhotep" on Translation portals and if your real name and your CV (not even a basic version) are nowhere to be found, don't be surprised if your prospective clients mistake you for a scammer circulating a fake CV. On the other hand, if your professional data (name, email, VAT number, CV, etc.) can easily be cross-checked online, any scamming of your CV or impersonation of your data will be promptly busted.

BE SMART: Of course, you may be a privacy freak all you want, but if you push it too far, that can easily work against you. Do you think everybody is going to believe that your great CV from "John Doe" really comes from that "Amenhotep" guy they saw online? How can you prove it?

NEVER accept offers to "market" your CV! Scammers don't want to "market" you! They just want to use your professional credentials (because they have NONE) to market THEMSELVES!

DO NOT publish your full CV online, and NEVER publish your professional credentials (like diplomas) online, but do not leave your prospective clients empty-handed either: publish a very BASIC PDF version of your CV: your name, email, address (city and country, ONLY), working languages and main specializations, and a note that your full CV is "available on request"!

ALL document scans (diplomas, certificates, ID documents, etc.) should be sent with protection features to avoid being abusively used by scammers, like a stamp placed over your name and photo (SEE THIS EXAMPLE). Remember: if you send scans of your documents to scammers, they will have no choice but to use YOUR OWN NAME in their impersonation (to match your documents), and the scam will also become more credible to unwary victims.

Insert an updated photo on your basic CV and ask your prospective clients to confirm each other's identity via video chat (or, at least, via mobile phone): scammers get real scared when asked to talk on the phone or camera, and they'll give you all sorts of excuses, like "bad line", "camera broken", "I'm driving", "I'm ill", "no camera", "I have a sore throat", "I don't use phone for business, just email" or (our favorite): «I want to express my apologie on your request because I have a speaking problems, my vocal cords damaged due to an old accident.». Get online with https://videolink2.me (free, in-browser tool, no registration needed) and send the other party the link to chat with you ON CAMERA!

Register your own domain. It's not as expensive as you may think, and even if you don't plan to have your own website, your domain will give you your own email server!

For all your business operations, use only emails addresses from your own email server (or, at least, from your ISP), as it's impossible for anybody else to use them. Also, be aware of email spoofing and phishing attempts sent by email and CHANGE your email password regularly.

Whether you own your email server or use an ISP or even a free email account, publish a notice (online and on your CV) with your legitimate address(es).

Lookup the email sender's IP and run a geographical search here: utrace.de. Or, trace the source IP address of an email based on the email headers (where did the email come from) here: http://www.cyberforensics.in/OnlineEmailTracer/index.aspx. Note: Emails sent from Gmail or Hotmail will ONLY trace back to their servers' IP addresses (in the USA).

The Counter-Scam

Confidence tricks played by these scammers exploit typical human characteristics such as greed (they'll send lots of work with my CV!), vanity (they told me I would be their "close partner"), opportunism (this job came just at the right time), credulity (really? are you kidding yourself?), irresponsibility (nothing can go wrong!), desperation (I need work), and naivety (ALWAYS). Let's not kid ourselves: We'll never see these scammers behind bars (there are exceptions though...), but we can:

Give public exposure to their FAKE identities and emails used in their scams.
Spread this exposure of scammers: Yes, you may link to this page.
Publish their emails online to be promptly harvested by spam robots...

Give the scammers no rest! Entice them with juicy, bogus jobs, accept whatever fees and terms they ask for, ask them for references and for their PayPal addresses (all valuable information to be exposed); then, cut off all communication with them!

Do your part: send us the scammers email and CV
Do Your Part!

This website is already welcoming countless visitors looking for fake "translators" and the email addresses used in various scams targeting translators: Someone from Belgium went online searching for "manda santo" translator, in Australia, someone looked for Flora Ktofiak, in the United Arab Emirates, someone looked for susanne christine walter, translator, or just rere4translation@gmail.com. Google sent them all to the right direction!

Let's fight back!Have you been scammed? Received a suspicious CV? Know of any other scammers?
Send us the details: Scammers' email AND fake CV.
Let's Fight Back: Tell Scammers to STOP!

Let's flood the scammers' mailboxes and tell them:
STOP stealing Translator's CVs and Identities.

CLICK TO EMAIL THE SCAMMERS

Do something!

Send a message to the emails used by the scammers and demand them to stop their practice. Tell scammers that you – and many other people – are aware of their ongoing practice of stealing translators CVs and identities. It's OK to write your messages in any harsh / rude / uncivil / impolite / insulting terms you may see fit, because these people do not deserve any degree of politeness. They are just common thieves preying on other people's lives.

Tell the world about the scammers!
DON'T keep it silent!

If your CV or identity has been stolen or hijacked, keeping it to yourself doesn't make the scam go away! On the contrary!

So, don't just post on your blog or Facebook "They stole my CV"! Say who (the name they used, even if it is yours) and which emails were used by the scammers: see a great example here!

Remember: Scammers live off anonymity and off a zero footprint on the Internet. Once publicly exposed, their anonymity and Internet stealthiness is gone, thus giving them the publicity they hate and fear. Scream, yell, and raise hell, making their names and emails known and public. Post them everywhere you can. And, yes, you may link to this page. For better results, link to the homepage of our website: www.translator-scammers/translator-scammers-directory.htm.
