NOTE 00 WE DO NOT DEAL WITH PAYMENT, NON-PAYMENT AND LATE PAYMENT ISSUES OR WITH
ADVANCE PAYMENT, OVERPAYMENT AND FINANCIAL SCAMS. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE DEGREE
OF SOPHISTICATION OF THIS SCAM, AND BECAUSE REPUTED ORGANIZATIONS HAVE
FALLEN FOR IT, WE DECIDED TO INCLUDE IT HERE.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More info: Read our FAQ
Yes, banks are some of the favorite "tools" used by scammers.
And also Western Union.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A "Groupe Attijariwafa Bank" is publicizing a Recruitment Notice
titled "Recrute traducteurs professionnels freelance : du français
vers l’anglais" (other language combinations also used) or "recherche
traducteur" As in all scams, the "terms" always look very
"advantageous": 105 pages / 68270 words / delivery in 5 months,
for which scammers have a budget for €14000 or €9200.
NOTE: The wording of the notice used by the "Attijariwafa Bank"
scam is a copy of a genuine "Avis de Recrutement" issued by the
"Banque Ouest Africaine de Développement" / www.boad.org .
Suckers taking the bait will have to send some money (360, 600 euros, whatever) to a Mr. "N’Dri Diecket" / Address: II Plateaux 01 BP 2549 Abidjan
01 (belonging to CENTIF / Cellule Nationale de Traitement des Informations
Financières). Their mumbo-jumbo to make the whole thing look legit goes on for some 2300
words of pure crap.
A "Myriam Warner" will even send the unwary suckers a legit-looking contract (in DOC format!), containing these headings:
Adresse: Zone 3 – Almadies – BP 144 – Dakar
BANK: Groupe Attijariwafa bank
Numero de compte: SN35201370100383 5100010 2042 (FAKE, OF COURSE)
NUMERO FISCAL
SN DKR 2010 B 7408 (FAKE, OF COURSE)
NINEA 2511780 2 B 2 (FAKE, OF COURSE)
DAKAR-SENEGAL
The same "Myriam Warner" is also active trying to lure translators into the translation of her literary works. "She" will pay €7500 for the same 105 pages...
Another email subject used by Aminata Dramane is: "Translation project:
Religion and social life of the Berbers in antiquity" and the bank
for the "contract" is:
BANK: (BIM s.a.) Groupe Attijariwafa bank , Boulevard de l’Indépendance,
BP 15 Bamako, Mali / Numero de compte: 5500010 2042
Disastrously, some reputed organizations have fallen for this scam w/ unimaginable
results for their members:
APT – Associação Portuguesa de Tradutores (published the "bank offer" on their Facebook on 20JUN2016, after info sent by their President!!!). And, after being alerted for a very possible fraud, APT dauntlessly went on: "Este banco existe desde 2011, é um banco marroquino e a sua sede
é em Casablanca. A sucursal que está a recrutar é a de Paris." (This bank exists since 2011, it's a Moroccan bank, headquartered in Casablanca.
The office responsible for the recruitment is based in Paris). Seriously,
APT?
Alumni, Université Mons (Belgium) (made a PDF of the offer and published it on the University website!!!)
Come on, APT and Alumni UMons, DO YOU TRULY BELIEVE that any genuine offer from a bank would come from Outlook, financier.com and other free email addresses?
A translator from the US writes on ProZ: "I have signed a contract to do a translation for an author in Senegal
through a university. (...) and am confident the offer is legit (...) Client has deposited funds in her bank, and I've received a confirmation of that from the Banque Centrale des Etats de l’AFRIQUE de l’OUEST, Groupe
Attijariwafa" Then, she even says: "They're asking for a security deposit to be sent to their fund manager
in Ivory Coast, via Money Gram, to protect them against fraudulent transactions/money
laundering from Boko Haram and other terrorist organizations." Boko Haram? Security deposit? Fund manager in Ivory Coast? And, lady,
the BCEAO is a central bank serving eight west African countries and has
NOTHING to do w/ the Groupe Attijariwafa! Still confident the offer is legit?
A translator from Peru: "a mi también me escribieron, investigué, todo bien (...) me pidieron una gran cantidad de dinero lo cual lo deposité en Money Gram a nombre del Sr. N'Dri Diecket" TODO BIEN?
A translator from Spain: "yo también he caído y me han estafado 600 euros aproximádamente (...) Me cegué por el trabajo, necesitaba tanto que me saliera que me cegué. Lo he denunciado a la Guardia
Civil en España" So, you filed a complaint at the Guardia Civil? Congratulations.
A translator from the US: "I have received the translation file and vetted the author, and am
confident the offer is legit." You are confident? Seriously?
Where do these people live? Wonderland?

NOTE 01a In their stupid frenzy of creating fake CVs and sending them to unwary
prospective clients, scammers frequently resort to using "templates"

I am convinced that my background, work, experience and qualifications
all combined make me suitably qualified for being a member in your respected
team of translators.
Please refer to the accompanying CV for more detailed information regarding
my abilities and skill sets.

working with your company soon.

| NOTE 1 Scammer "Franck Gilles" posts his fake CV at translationdirectory.com
and on ProZ (Franck Giles). Franck was a "Hostess (!!!) at the castle
of Nogent-le-Rotrou" / CV author: "Claudine". The same CV
has also been scammed as "Karcsi Ling" / [email protected]
on OutsourceTranslation.com (address: 5, allée des Iles Marquises, 32100
Pessac, France, belonging to translator Monique Hamon) and as "Varan
Geo" / [email protected] (author: "Gevara"). "Karcsi"
also keeps a profile in LInkedIn. On July 2015, Franck's CV emerged again
under the name of Albert Vigier / [email protected] / Scam

NOTE 2 Scammer Charles Azzopardi (quite a common name in Malta) publishes a LinkedIn profile from the UK and a ProZ profile from Malta, and, in both profiles, scammer uses the photo of Luke Macfarlane, a Canadian actor and musician.
Other known aliases: Adam / Adam Matthews / Adam de Pascal / Azzbroker
/ Crystal Sample / Frank Dacourt / John Brown / John Sutton / Paul Jones
/ Stephe(a)n Jones (and counting...)
Operates behind these façades: AZZ Translations Language Services, aka
Translation Agency Europe (on Elance, they are located in Malta, and on
LinkedIn, they are located in London, UK...) and Tecco Translations (now closed); also uses Mathieu Blanc as ghost identity for his scam. Copy used in AZZ Translations website has been plagiarized from TRAVOD
International, Toptranslation GmbH, and other sources. GOOD NEWS: azztranslations.com IS NOW closed (OCT2014)!
On this translatorscafe.com profile, Mathieu's address and phone number belong to The Bedford Hotel & Congress Centre (meanwhile, address has been removed, and, on 16JUL2013, the profile itself has been removed).
Also uses these email addresses:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
This scammer is also on Twitter:
@azzbroker
@azzbusiness
@AZZTranslations (on 22DEC2012, Charles announced the "hiring" of his ghost, Adam Matthews)
On one of his Elance profiles, Charles Azzopardi also uses the photo of Canadian artist Luke Macfarlane...
When confronted with this, scammer claimed that he had to protect himself from ID theft...
Scammer's phone number (Vodafone Malta): +35699465492
14OCT2014: According to a report sent to TSD by an Italian translator,
"the Tribunal of Milan is already conducting an inquiry from my complaint". |

| NOTE 4 Fake profile(s) published online by Pakistani Khan Jee. ALL CVs posted on his blog are FAKE! This clown calls himself "affiliate of amazon", keeps these
email accounts: [email protected] / [email protected],
a Skype profile: lalakhanjee (clothing business!!!), a phone: +923218006702,
an alias: Wazir Khan (or is this his real name?), and a Twitter account:
@thinkhired1. His address is at: HNo.10-9/3427-H, Arbab Ghulam Ali Road
Killi, Deba Quetta Balochistan PAKISTAN-87300. Some of these fake CVs are also used by the Palestinian scamming ring Note 6. His response: "i created this blog for real jobseekers to post resumes, now how
i can authenticate the reality of the resume? I am talking you with a very
soft mouth, and you cannot understand this tongue so i think i will have
to use my tight tongue." Recently (JAN2015), this clown is complaining online about being scammed
by another scammer who didn't get him a job contract in Canada, as promised!
And, his clothes business is going well: "We are selling all kind of cloths, ladies and Gents cloths. You can
find on our shop shalwar kameez, shalwar kurta, pent shirts and every kind
of Ladies verities available on very reasonable rates. This is my family
business and i have excellent experience in cloth selling and in purchasing". It's amazing the crap translators have to put up with... |

like "Silvia Cipriani" (name used by Translation Secrets) and
"Goncalo Alvarez Peixoto" (name found on a Portuguese University
website). With scammers, anything goes...
On September 2017, these scammers started using [email protected]

ABOUT IMAD ALMAGHARY
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Imad Almaghary is THE FOUNDER of Languagemet and Translation Secrets, two of the most active
scamming joints in the translation world. Claims to be a member of the Arab Professional Translators Society...
In an article called "Translation Problems Amongst Arab Translators"
(2002), Imad wrote some meaningless and profound crap as "Translation problems amongst Arab translators may above all and more
than anything else widen, enlarge, expand and enhance not only mankind
knowledge but also awareness that can potentially trigger a wide range
of factual points on this topic"!!!
Or this piece of total nonsense, mumbo-jumbo from translationsecrets.com (now offline)...
On 11APR2015, Imad, the scammer behind Languagemet and Translation Secrets,
went on selling more crap:
New E-Book: "Getting Work through Translation Secrets and Strategies" / This crap is advertised with more crap, like this: This e-book includes 8978 words, 389 paragraphs and 1325 lines. This is
absolutely helpful for those who work in the translation market... It remains
to be seen that translators spend a long time applying for jobs...
Or this brilliant crap named Challenger Business: One-Off Business Strategies Revealing Powerful Mindset
of Earning Money and Building Business Empire (Profitable Business): It
has an awful lot of images for further clarification and information. No shit?

born in Libya in 1977. I live in Palestine. I have been working in translation
and management field for 15 years. I have been doing study and research
on this business for a long time with a very good experience which I would
be more than happy to share with you. There are other two e-books that
will be ready soon. They are: "Time-saving Methods of Finding Excellent
Employees and Partners", Secrets and powerful mindset strategies revealed!
And "Successful Business Concepts on the Internet", Secrets Revealed!
Increase your online income!!!
This e-book costs 34.89 USD. I accept different payment options including
Paypal and Moneybookers.
From someone who once wrote (in the 2002 article) another hilarious piece
of crap: "...take into account the following expression, the United States
secretary of States, this expression will be dealt with semantically wrong
because it means prime minister but in the American English they say the
United States secretary of States."

On 2010, Imad changed his career and was looking for shoes "less than 2 Dollars
for pair of Shoe"...
On his LinkedIn profil, he writes: "Full trust and 100 % honesty, credibility and impartiality are my
real asset and investment." This is a joke, right, Imad?

let us know what you think".
In some forums, the email [email protected] is associated to the "Huda Translation

infamous translationsecrets.com (said to operate from Cairo, Egypt).
In this LinkedIn page Trainer – The Islamic University Of Gaza, Imad claims this: "Full trust and 100 % honesty, credibility and impartiality are my
real asset and investment". Trust and honesty??? And, he goes on with crap like this: "I run now lots of companies. I wrote many business books. Feel free
to ask for any question. I can provide you with consultation".
Languagemet also uses this Skype number: (661) 748-0240. See also Note 79.
Imad's location data and phone numbers:
Albahar St (Al Bahar), Rafah Province, Gaza Strip, Palestine (same address used for Mondo Translations See Note 83)
Ph: +970598855968 (used also for Translation Secrets)
In Translation Directory and GlobTra, scammer Imad Almaghary lives in Seena,
Egypt / Ph: 0020108472936
Ph: +972599851211 (werans.com registration data)
Ph: 0597601658 (in "Eman Tabasy" CV, as reference)
Ph: +970599851211 / [email protected] (email from 17APR2017)
And what does Imad think about our Directory? This: "There are reliable translators whom I know and fully trust 100 %.
They are listed in scammer website because that website is politically
motivated to put pressure on successful Arabic business. (...) Those colleagues
are from Egypt and could not remove their emails from there. I trust them
more than I trust myself.." (LinkedIn). Coming from you, Imad, that's a praise.
On 16APR2017 (LinkedIn), Imad, calling himself "Senior Project Manager
and Business Consultant" asks these "senior" questions:
"What is the normal price in the market for English Arabic translation?" or "What are the common prices for English Arabic and English Chinese?" You don't know, "Business Consultant"? Two months before, our
"senior" scammer had announced: "I can accept English Arabic jobs of 0.04 USD. This price is valid
until 01/04/2017. Quality guaranteed." and had another very "senior" question: "How can I contact or deal with end clients in the translation industry?" Someone responded : "Have officially Registered agency, etc."
What did our "senior" bullshiter respond? This: "Official registration is important. Yes. Well, where to find them?
What is the way to contact them?" Not bad for a "Business Consultant"...
Yes, this lunatic also sells e-books...
And, because his scamming business may not going very well, he's now offering
his new business: "15 % discount for all of your electricity, power and transportation
fines." Whatever that means...
Imad Almaghary HAS BEEN banned from ProZ and Translators Café |
In their scamming frenzy, the Languagemet gang shows no scruples in the shameless use of another company corporate data.
On the "About us" page on Trgim.com (same phone number as Languagemet.com's,
+972598855968), they claim that "We are not worried about money because anyway it comes"... Some correspondence from TranslationSecrets.com is signed under the
name of Hanaa Kudaih (same name as a PM from another fishy Palestinian
website: turjoman.com ) said to be based in Abu Dhabi, in which the pages
"Language Quality Services" and "Our Translators" have
been shamelessly copied from the Moravia Worldwide website. Turjoman phone
(+971508140543) and Skype ID: turjoman.com are, of course, from Gaza, Palestine.
They operate a GTalk account from [email protected] . The Skype address
given on turjoman.com resolves to someone based on Rafah, Gaza. Not surprisingly,
a Wael Yousef (associated w/ Gentle Translations Group) also sends mail
from turjoman.\

F2089-01 / EN 15038 / ISO 9001 / Notary Approved / SDL Certified with no proof of issuing entity or date of certification!
Other hilarious claims on website/portals:
Fast-track approach in multilingual translation services (LOL)
We can give you the best translation service because of the extent of our
reserve languages (reserve languages?)
We trained the most excellent translators to get through with language
barriers (really?)
Translators available in every region of the world (of course)
100% Human Translation Done By Certified Native Speakers! (NO Exception) (no certification is required when translators apply, only
using the target language for 3 years and some experience of working as a translator)
Majority now opt for translations services for efficiency (really?)
And, about interpreters? Being an interpreter does not require anything else apart from a clear
and deep understanding of two or more languages (of course)
We never stop working, not even on weekends (of course)
Adervising (lack of sleep, guys?), and
GlobalLinguals is the best! and A Vow of Professionalism (wow!)

NOTE 19 Meet one of the most ridiculous scammers around. This Romanian national,
hiding behind a not-Romanian name, John Bloomen (FAKE NAME), is the owner of Militaris Translation Agency (militaris.net), NOW CLOSED (15JUN2013).
Translators profiles posted on his militaris.net website were fake, e.g.:
"Franz Schummer" stole the face of author Tristan Kink, "Giulio Lanco" is actor Mario Lopez, and the Arab "translator" is, in fact, an American music teacher... He was looking for clients (promising to pay 20 USD for each).

Victor Mitran / [email protected] (CV Author / Last saved by: "Rob",
i.e. Robert Frogost) / In a recent email sent to us from IP: 5.135.155.76 (smarthide.com) this clown threatens to write to "Mister President
Barack Obama" about us. We hope he tells "Mr. President"
that "his" FAKE CV has been stolen from a legitimate translator and that he lives in a flower shop in Paris. In this online profilr (ALL NAMES ARE FAKE), this joker lives in a hotel, also in Paris...
Address: str. Avram Iancu, bl. 333 , sc. I , ap. 12, 730000 Vaslui, Romania
/ Ph: +40235340779
--------------------------------------------------
His real name appears to be Eugen Predescu. He tells us, in his own words "I was born in 1957, in Eastern Romania, in the village Valea-Oanei,
district Vaslui, province Moldavia, not far of the river Prut". In this profile (now doctored), this lunatic says that "Vaslui" is in Illinois, USA... He lives
in Romania, but claims to live in Paris, France, Paris, Texas (US), and
in London (UK).
A self-proclaimed author of crap like "From Ptahhotep until Garcia
Marquez" (using either "John Bloomen" or "Eugen Hulub"
as the "author"), and "Swedish bitters is a traditional
herbal tonic", and the author of "Parapsychology Today" (see also this hilarious ad by Eugen Pigeon aka Eugen Hulub...) and "Nicolae Ceausescu – the last dictator of Europe". There is only one platform where these books can be found, and, guess what, the copyright for all of them is "Public Domain"
or simply don't exist! He keeps a Twitter profile as @pajbloomen (compare with this Eugen Hulub and this other Twitter profile, in which the address and phone number belong to the Chisum Independent
School District, in Paris, Texas...) and on this Facebook profile, he studied (Class of 2000!!!) on the The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy
in Massachusetts, USA!!!
On some platforms, he used the alias "besteugen" and "eugeneu". On a Freelancer profile, this clown says he is from Vaslui, Romania, that he was born in Paris,
Texas !!!, that his native language is French, and that he also speaks
Italian (a "French regional language"). On his Elance profile,
he claims that "I worked two years in Holland and I spoke English daily"... On 02MAY2014, Eugen circulated a message on ProZ claiming that he was an anti-communist activist in Romania and that he's
now "alone and very poor"...
--------------------------------------------------
Recently, DEC2015, under the name "laura", this scammer created a blog called
"Excellent translation" translation2015.blogspot.com where he
lists several translators (ALL FAKE). "Laura" requests contacts to [email protected] !!!

(SAME PERSON) also operate a FAKE "Marriage Agency VENUS" and proposes crap like this...
Pablo Cordoba / [email protected] / USA
Victor Mitran / [email protected] / France (the address on CV belongs to a flower shop...)
--------------------------------------------------
This raging lunatic also operates a FAKE "Translation agency "Sintaxa" / professional-translation.weebly.com
5665 Peachtree Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, GA, USA 30342 (address belongs to the Saint Joseph's Hospital of Atlanta!!!)
Email: [email protected] (see "LauraRobertson" before...) / Ph: (657) 675-6785 (FAKE)
As with his defunct "Militaris Translation Agency" he posts FAKE
profiles of his "translators", e.g.:
Dubois Bouchard (France): photo of Gaspard Ulliel (French model)
Durand Gagnon (France): photo of Vincent Pérez (Swiss actor)
Gerard Gauthier (France); photo of George Clooney (yes, that George...)
Helmut Schneider (Germany): photo from here
Wilhelm Schmidt (Germany): photo from here
David Evans (UK): photo from Richard Laxton (movie director)
Heinrich Schulz (Germany): photo from here
Alfred Johnson (UK): photo from Sting (yes, that Sting...)
John Wilson (UK): photo from Hugh Grant (yes, that Hugh...)
Edmund Davies (USA): photo from actor George Eades
--------------------------------------------------
Recently, starting on April 2016, this mentally deranged scammer devised an hilarious way of making a fast
buck: pay me USD 25.00 to Paypal [email protected] or I'll badmouth
you online! He also adds: "Unfortunately I got ill (tuberculosis – TB – caused by
the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which affected my lungs) and
I stayed hospitalized 6 months in Waverly Hills Sanatorium – 1600
Clifton Rd, MailStop E-90, Atlanta, GA 30333, U.S.A." Funny: the Waverly Hills Sanatorium was closed in 1961 and was located
in Louisville, Kentucky, not Atlanta, Georgia!!! This scammer uses these
ghosts to ask for the money:

--------------------------------------------------
September 13, 2106 "Robert Frogost" emailed us from IP: 174.127.82.253 (anonymous proxy): "I sell bitcoins at very good price for you". Maybe the 25.00 USD scam didn't go too well! |

On their profile on ProZ, GoldenEar claims to be a member of Norsk Oversetterforening (Norwegian Association of Literary Translators): besides the wrong URL
given, what's the most logical membership for a Palestinian outfit? Literary
Translation in Norway, of course... Gheed circulates a CV in which she
writes such profound crap like this: "When I come about to translate a text, I think of it as a lovely
villa which need to be decorated with a high ingenuity. I adore such work
because I believe in my abilities of giving and creativeness and because
I've been translating for a long time. Frankly speaking, I think Translation
is my favorite for what I can provide and what I can gain in return. I
have been waiting for such connection and chance to be close from new people
of different origins, new mentalities and to let them get benefit of my
creativity. Most of people told me that I have a special sense of criticizing,
analyzing, and pensiveness; I used to be excellent in that since I was
at the faculty of Arts. This Novel (she wrote a novel!!!) is going to be signed and delivered next week in a great party." |

a bank account at the "China Merchants Bank". When asked: "Dear
person called Zhipung, Bob, or Zhu Wei have you stolen Zhipeng Guo identity?",
the answer was, to say the least, very informative: "He is my partner,
he died last year". |
|
| NOTE 23 This scammer's CV shows his address as "n°107 rue de la jaladeporte
109, 34090 Montpellier, France". That's odd: The same address appears
on the CVs from fake translators "Isabelle Saviano", "Marie
Klotz", "Martin Isaac" and 12 others. |

NOTE 24 Aliasgar Jamali / Aliasgar Najmuddin / Sk Aliasgar Jamali / Zain Zain

VERBATIM from DayJob: "If u copy a CV from internet as a Template then what is the problem" What, indeed!
"Freelance since 2009" (on CV), then claims: "As a beginners (!!!) in this field i copied the CV available from
a job website. I just copied the text regarding skills." Responding to his buster: "I want to make a stable career in the Translation Industry. Pls forgive
me for the mistake i had made." or "I wasn't aware that copying a CV can be so serious and dangerous". And yet, his website shows: "Many years of experience (!!!) as a translation service provider..."
Address of CV in Texas, USA and phone numbers (469 901 1252 / 845 284 0052)
are FAKE: "I am currently located in India" !!!
In OCT 2016, Aliasgar, who has no CV of his own, calls himself "Zain
Translation", became a member (associate) of ATA and even has a website,
where, of course, ALL copy has been plagiarized from other sources: Reliable
Translation Services (BR), Meneghini Traduzioni (IT), SMH Translations

NOTE 25 On two messages forwarded to us, this ghost wrote: "I have worked with [some emails] and they have paid me befor and
I have done another project and they promise to pay me next week as we
agreed when I did the project. Can you tell me more about this matter as
your list worry me and I am not sure where did you collect these emails
from."
After being told that this list doesn't deal with "bad or non-payers",
the ghost insisted (letting his mask down): "I still dont understand your message about they are not bad or non-payment
persons. Why did you cllect them and how did you get them and I AM STILL
DOUBT THAT YOUR INFORMATION ARE FAKE ALSO."
Both messages were originated from IP 198.144.116.217, a known spam harvester recognized by the Project Honey

NOTE 26 Owner of HM For Translation / hm-translation.com . Ph: +970598678625,
from Gaza. Just another Palestinian scamming operator set up by the Languagemet
gang: HM4Translation Services.
Wording on this website belongs to the website owned by Gentle Translations
Group. On the contact page, Assan asks for your CV! They operate a almost
empty website / www,hm4translation.com , with, of course, no names, and
no address, but (again) with the same wording found at the Gentle Translations
Group. Info about the owner of this domain/website is null.
Recently, emails are being sent out by this "company" under the
name of a Fadi Z. Saleem (in previous emails, only "Fadi" was
given; phone +972592118895, also used by Hanaa Kudaih), with an email already known to be associated w/ the Languagemet/Translation
Secrets ring. Another email from these scammers recently emerged: Hanaa
D. S. Qudaih / [email protected] / Ph: +972592118895. Look also
for a scammer named "Helany Helany Ros". HM4Translation Services
is a spin-off of those gangs or just another brand created to distract
people from their already-burnt names: Languagemet/Translation Secrets.
"Fadi" is also a frequent name shown on stolen CVs (on Document
Properties). |

to lure translators with offers to translate books. Scam email is sent

NOTE 30 Herich Gunawan (Liu) is a very funny scammer. He is based in Indonesia
and operates behind various scamming façades:
herich-translations
Mothertongue Translations
Herich Gunawan (Gladden)
All these IDs have been banned from ProZ. On TranslationDirectory.com he
is a Lithuanian to English Translator or a English to Norwegian Translator
(As of 02SEP2013, both pages have been removed). On Translators Café, he works with Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian), and Simplified Chinese.
He owns two active websites: herichtranslations.webs.com / mothertonguetranslations.page.tl
and he's active in other portals (mainly in Far East region):
/indonetwork.net/HerichTranslations
resume.com/herichtranslation
Emails from (at least):
[email protected]
[email protected] (PayPal ID)
[email protected] (Liu Yong Fu)
[email protected]
Ph: +6281267491675 / +6281277729499 / Skype: herich.gunawan / Twitter:
@Herichg.
On his CV, he makes some ridiculous claims: "I have 5 (five) close
friends (professional native speakers of American English, British English,
and Australian English) to check and correct my English translation."
and (are you ready?) "My house is near several book stores as well
as libraries in which I can easily get the required references for free
of charge." NOTE: On his website, herich-translations.webs.com/, he lures translators
into registering their data and send him their CVs...
Sweet revenge: Herich claims that a John Stefanus Chandra, who keeps two fake profiles on Translation Directory: (Greek to Indonesian)
and (English to Khmer/Cambodian), and another one on ProZ (English-Indonesian)
was his "worker" and stole his idea for a website: nativitytranslations.com
(inactive).
On recent insulting emails addressed to us, this scammer stated (excerpts):
"I pay translators, and thus I am not scammer as you said." – This list is NOT about non-payers! It's about impersonators!
"You have to pay for that soon in hell. I believe in God. You will
get what you deserve soon." – We can't wait! |
|
| NOTE 31 Interesting AND FREQUENT type of scamming: "Sarah Smith" CV (with 5 different fonts and
typos like "Summery OF Qualifications") bears the street address
of Stefan Belger (US), the Education details were copied verbatim from
Trevor R. Chichester (US), and the "Author" of "her"
CV is Alice Wolfe (danishservices.net)... SWEET REVENGE: One unwary translation company payed the scammer by sending
a check to the address shown on "her" CV, i.e., Stefan Belger... |
|
| NOTE 32 Scammer also uses the aliases Eng. Isabella Swares, EngIsabella (ID in several translator jobs platforms), and EngIsabella Swares. Claims
to be associated w/ a (non-existent) "Alpha Translation Company, USA".
On several emails sent to translators, "Carla Marios" presents
herself as "Project Manager of Languagemet". Ph: +97255555555
(probably FAKE). |

NOTE 33 Oscar Translation Services (OTS). The typical Palestinian scammer: "H.
Joseph" is a ghost name created by "hani abu se3daj" (???),
real name Hani Abu Saada aka Hani Abu Sada (Facebook) aka Eng Hani Abu-Saada,
owner of website oscartranslation.com (IP 178.63.16.195) and other two
websites (both inactive): nikikani.com and professional-freelancer.com
.
Address given for domain registration is "Wheda st. Gaza, Gaza 1221,
PS" and mobile used is +972599614356.
On the website, their real location (Palestine) is carefully ommited (Spain,
China and Egypt), and the phone listed is +970599614356. On emails, she
uses the ghost name "World Wide Translation Services"...
These scammers are behind the scamming of Wang Jing's CV. They have created the domain professional-freelancer.com just for email
purposes, e.g., [email protected] . The registration data shows it all:
Registrant Name: hani abu se3da
Registrant Organization: professional-freelancer.com
Registrant Street: Wheda st.
Registrant City: Gaza
Registrant State/Province: Gaza
Registrant Postal Code: 1221
Registrant Country: PS
Registrant Ph: +972599614356
Registrant Email: [email protected]
When challenged about her true identity, he/she responded: "My name is Hani Youseph, it different in my passport to be Hani a.Y."
"Their" German address and phone +49 (1525) 3908050 belongs to
"Claudia Gumbert". When warned about this, Caudia stated: "Thanks a lot for your E-mail and your warning. I have nothing to
do with this company and I am very surprised and shocked."
"Their" Mexican phone number (+527771029404) belongs to a "Patricia
Novelo"
On ProZ (Oscar.T.S), they are based in Andorra (now changed to Spain).
On Translation Directory, "Hannee Joseph" is based on a PO Box
in Andorra and in Egypt and has an Egyptian phone number.
On freelancersupport.com, uses the name "Hannee Josef" and lives
in France (!).
On Facebook (facebook.com/OscarTranslationServices), of course, there is
no names, and no location...
On Facebook (facebook.com/Professional.Freelance.Translation) they mention
a domain / professional-freelancer.com which does not exist, and no reference
is made to oscar translation. Of course, no names or contacts are given.
On LinkedIn (profile now REMOVED), Oscar Translations have their "headquarters
in Spain – Andorra".
On LinkedIn (profile now REMOVED), "Haneen Yousef" (1) claims to work for a ghost called "hanenko for translation"
!!!
On Translation Directory, "Haneen Yousef" lives in Cairo, Egypt!!!
On TranslatorsTown, "Haneen Yousef" lives in Israel!!! or Hanne Joseph in Spain!!! or in Israel!!!
On jobs postings in Translation Directory, Hannee claims to be from Spain, but the IP places her in Alexandria,
Egypt.
On a PDF flyer (bearing the name of author "Petra Schofield"
from Schofield&Partner and made by copy and paste from this company
and other websites), these scammers write: "Oscar Translation s management group is located at the headquarters
in Spain – Andorra, while the companies in each country are headed
by a Country Manager." They keep two Twitter profiles: @OscarTranslatio and @oscartrans (Hani
A.Y)
(1) The "Haneen Yousef" link to LinkedIn now resolves to another
ghost called "Jatain s.alfonso (from the UK !!!), a "project
manager" from another fake company: translation better for translation
/ BBT / Best Translation. bestofthebesttranslation.com / [email protected]
.
As usual, everything is fake: Twantey tower 6/2, Colchester Essex State,
United Kingdom (Essex State in the UK?) & +1 551-497-4310 (New Jersey,
USA ???)
Aliases used: Hannee Josef, Hanne Joeph, Hannee Joseph, Hani, Hani a.Y,
Ahmed Assar, Michelle Zhang. Real name is Hani Abu Saada. Most probably, it is another ghost ID for
"Haneen Yousef", a scammer associated w/ "Languagemet"
and "Translation Secrets" (See Note 6). The scammer tells you how the scamming of your CV will be done: "After you send your Resume you have to fill small form (i.e., the "authorization" for the
scammers to "market" your CV), in order to add your complete information to our database, so we might
possible be able to establish a cooperation".
On Facebook, he owns the page "Translation Tips" where we posts
crap like this: "The freelance translation business has admirably flourished in Egypt,
and is the cause of many Egyptian families success that were suffering
from the hard economic situation after the recent revolution and excellent
quality in the market due to spending long time on the internet, that pushed
translators to the experience without fear."
Hani is also the owner of another Facebook page / TranslatorTube / [email protected] in which he gives "advices"
against scammers, even using some of our sentences. And, this scumbag befriended
a French translator on FB (Alexis Braine), only to scam his CV using his
own name and this email address: [email protected] .

| NOTE 34 Fake IDs used by a scammer claiming to work from a non-existent "New
Living Translation". These ghosts give an address in Northhamptonshire
(UK), which belongs to the real agency "The Living Word Language Services
Ltd". All genuine email from this company comes from addresses with
@livingword.co.uk. |
|
| NOTE 35 A resourceful scammer: Works for Languagemet. Keeps two fakes "CV" on Translation Directory, in which (1)
under the name of Dav Moly (resident in Haifa. Israel) claims to translate English-Japanese and (2) under his "real"
name is a "Palestinian" with Japanese as "mother language". On both profiles, the phone number is the same: +972599498987 and the
Skype address given on both (bmn101193) resolves to a "Yurika"
in Hyogo, Japan. In short, a pack of lies... |
|
NOTE 36 Another extension of the Translation Secrets scamming ring. They keep a profile on ProZ under the name "[email protected]
(Dubai, Dubayy)". They also use a misspelled email address: [email protected]
. They are actually located in Gaza, Palestine. On other sites, this email
is associated w/ the infamous Mohammed Almassri.
On Translation Directory, this scammer is fuly identified as:
Eng. Mohammed Almassri / Project manager of freelance jobs (???) / Translators
Success group
MSN: [email protected]
Skype: mohammedalmassritrans
==============
Here is his "new" scamming "plan":
I have a new work plan and would like to see if you are interested. I can
do marketing for your CV which means: sending your CV to many translation
companies, and we share profit for this, the plan is as follows:
1. I will create a new email account for you.
2. I will modify your email in your CV as the new email account.
3. I will do marketing for your modified CV on the new email that I sent
to you with the password.
4. You shouldn't change the password of this email.
5. You shall reply all messages that come on the new email account
6. When they ask about the rate/word, you shall tell them that, your rate
for translation is 0.07 USD/word or at least 0.06 USD/word and for proofreading
is 0.03 USD/word or at least 0.02 USD/word.
7. Then you take your percentage of 50% for translation and 50% for proofreading,
and the rest is for me, fine?
8. For invoicing: I will give you an email address that connected to my
PayPal account.
9. I will do marketing for you daily or as you like.
10. Payment sent to you monthly, fine?

NOTE 37 Another Palestinian scamming ring hiding its true identity: Owner of domain/website
amazingtrans.com, Amazing Trans, Amazing Translation is Abd Ali. Address
in website is given as "P.O.B. 187 Jerusalem, Israel" (i.e., the Office of the Prime-Minister of Israel), but his own address is Gaza, Palestine. IP: 176.67.107.246 .
These scammers also operate under the name "PM Translator" /
pmtranslation.webs.com , claiming to be "The perfect mediator between the Translator and translation agencies". Skype ID: pmtranslation (said to be located in Israel...)
Another website belonging to this ring is "Safey Trans" (Safety
Translation): The domain/website was created only on 06 NOV 2013 by a Gaza
outfit (Mohammed AbuYassin, palestine for information technology). As usual,
there are no names, no phone, and no address on the website and all social
networks links point to a Facebook page (Mohammed AbuYassin, gaza331) belonging
to Mohammed Yassin, from Gaza, Palestine / Twitter: @gaza331 (MoHaMMeD
#Gaza). Messages sent to "Khaled" at [email protected]
are replied by Omar Issa / [email protected]
And, of course, on their website they ask translators to send them their
"CV and cover letter"...
Domain amazingtrans.com is now CLOSED (16JAN2014).
Domain safety-translations.com is now CLOSED (29MAR2014)
Scammers operate phone number +970599625862 / maxpaying (Gtalk) and several

Fadi Omar / [email protected], from Gaza and associated w/ Languagemet
/ Amazing Translation / Huda Center (see Note 6), is the scammer behind ghosts like "Jessica Eager", "Robert
Tocco" and "Amable Nicolas Djoumessi" (FAKE profile in Translation Directory with Fadi's address: [email protected]). The CV used by both ghosts was stolen from Pierre Simplice Djoumessi

==================
"Mediator Trans" is another scamming joint by these Palestinian
scammers. They operate a Google website:
sites.google.com/site/mediatortrans/home (NOW DISABLED, 16APR2014). Their address is "Middle East – Israel" (anything, but Palestine!!!), and they have no phone (of course). Mr. Abdullah Khalil / Mr AbdTrans
(G+ profile) / [email protected] . Most probably, this scammer is the
same as "Mr. Abdullah" from Amazing Translations. |
|
NOTE 38 Translation Team / Translators Team is another Palestinian scamming operation
created by the people behind Translation Secrets: "manger" (i.e.,
"manager") is a Ahmad Mustafa. In their website, they claim to
be located in "Nakla Elmotie, Hilopolis, Cairo" (of course, with
no number...). Funny: they should have written "Nakhla El Motei St.,
Heliopolis, Cairo"
The Egyptian phone listed on their site (+20117525007) is a mobile number
belonging to a "Naeema Joneedy" (PAGE NOW DELETED) (Naomi Jone / [email protected] / Naeema Joneedy / [email protected]
. Skype: nayoma13. Recently, Naomi contacted us to claim that she had been scammed, and that she didn't
know why her phone number is listed here! Why, indeed?
Naeema Joneedy also sends mail from [email protected] (another brand associated
w/ this scamming ring). The domain belongs to none other than Imad Almaghary.
See Note 6.
On one "profile" sent in DOC format (largely copied from a translation
company profile based in the Dominican Republic, Christian Translation),
scammer claims to live in a Jewish settlement (!!!) at the West Bank (Alfei
Menashe, ZIP code given is fake). On another "profile" (PDF),
the address given (48 King George St. / P.O.B 92 / Jerusalem 91000 / Palestine)
belongs to, no less, to the World Zionist Organization (!!!), and on another
profile (PDF), these clowns moved to a new address belonging to a company called "Amerigo Global": 904 Garland St, Little Rock, AR 7720, USA (last digit of ZIP code deleted). In a recent flyer the ZIP code is 77201.

experience and high efficiency and work a valuable field of translation
and we will face new translation" or "We all have professional
linguistic education with degrees", or "Arabic <> Germen".

NOTE 51 Enter another scammer: Ahlam Zamli / [email protected] / [email protected]
/ phone (Palestine, Jawwal): +972597734466 / Skype: ahlam.zamli. Recently,
this scammer is sending emails with the usual infamous request "Please
send me your CV and cover letter". When requested to provide information
about her affiliation he responded: "I am project manager at Arcadia Language Company and it a new company.
so I am not a member at ProZ yet. can visit us at: arcadialanguage.com". Of course, as usual, no address and no phone numbers are provided by
the "company".
"Ahlam" claims to live in "al dahlea street , Rafah, Gaza,
Israel" (!!! and, of course, never with a door number), and that she
"acts as mediator between language companies...".
Domain arcadialanguages.com belongs to a "Arcadia Languages And Development"
(located in Rafah, Gaza, Palestine). The address (translated) is "Garage
Rafah – oposite the Government clinic – Building Shuwaikh –
first floor". Their website copy has been copied from "Paspartu
Multilingual Translation Services" (Greece), "Multi-Languages"
(UAE) and other sources...
These scammers confuse their contacts with the name of the "company",
indistinctively using Arcadia Language company, arcadia language, "Arcadia.
Lang." (name on G+) / Arcadia for Translation, Arcadia Languages for Translation, arcadia translations (BEWARE: There is a company with name in Buenos Aires, Argentina) , Arcadia Center for Languages and Development (Arcadia Center for Development
and Languages), Arcadia Center, ACLD.
On Translators Café, scammers claim: "Welcome To Arcadia Languages
for Translation is a full-service translation agency located in Netherlands".
The address given is "Sarphatistraat 614 1018 AV Amsterdam, Netherlands".
This address belongs to "The LanguageLab Translations", a legitimate Dutch company (SEE ALSO NOTE 75). With all the bombing pouring over them, they moved the pages of the website
to another directory (/translation/), and now they are located in The Netherlands
(yes, they claim to work from the same address of The LanguageLab Translations.... Their phone (on emails) links you to a black hole: 009090-256-200-361.
Language Lab is aware of this gross scam... After being exposed, these scammers no longer (08MAR2014) claim to
be based in the Netherlands, and now list their address in Gaza, Palestine!
They've also been BANNED from Translators Café!
And, of course, they try to lure translations into signing an infamous "permission sheet", where, no official name, no address, no contacts, no phone are included
(sent from a Gmail address...)

NOTE 53 Scammer "Anna Nunez" (another Gaza scam) poses as a "special project manager" and lures translators to accept jobs, thinking they are dealing with a project manager from a respectful Canadian
company from Toronto: Multi Languages Corporation. Revealing fact: Anna's PO (an impressive exercise of cutting and pasting impersonation was made by scammer “Hani Maghary”, aka Hani Meghary (see Directory) and Hani Al Maghary from none other than Languagemet. On another instance,
"Anna" abusingly used 2 POs from a Dutch company, again impersonating
a PM from same Canadian company. Of course, the translator, from Finland,
has not been paid. On 26OCT2013, after being exposed, this scammer has
disabled "her" scamming email address: [email protected]

NOTE 55 Another outfit based in Gaza, Palestine engaging in misrepresentation
and scamming translators and translation companies:
1. Domain greattranslate.net has been registered on 05 October 2013 and
was mainly empty (but with"Referances" and "Langouages").
On 31OCT2013, website content has been removed and shows only a banner
"COMING SOON".
2. Registration data shows no real owners. Website owners claim that company
is based on Turkey (Izmir), but no physical address or phone is provided.
3. Emails sent from [email protected] originate in Gaza, Palestine
(IP: 176.106.44.203).
4. Emails circulated show no name and no signature, and when asked for company details, communications was cut short. To
hide their operation, they requested a project to be delivered "20st,
Canada time".
5. A translator reports: "Great Translation contacted me, but the
PM refuses to identify himself or herself"
6. After repeated requests, scammer wrote
===========================
This is our address,

NOTE 57 Scammer "Aletta Morris" (fake name) hides behind a scamming
"company", Gotranslang Co / Gotranslang Company for Translation
Services and operates a website – gotranslang.com – which is
nothing more than a pile of lies:
1. Domain was registered on 18 May 2013 by a "Patricia Alex"
/ "548 naser street, Cairo" / Phone (Egypt Mobile): +201285489742.
2. Address given on the website – 82 rue Danton, 020263 Le Kremlin
Bicetre, Paris is FAKE: door numbering ends in 50/51.
3. Phone number given on the website – +33(0)433651893 – is
FAKE (a landline located in Southeast France...). A Parisian landline number
would start by +33(0)1.
4. Social channels shown on the website are very interesting: Twitter account
(alettaMorris) has been suspended and Facebook profile (aletta.morris)
is empty.
5. Website copy and images have been plagiarized from Temple Translations,
Lingo24, Inc., ME Localize, and other sources.
A forensic analysis to the emails used by these scammers lead to the conclusion
that there are associations with the infamous Languagemet. Profile on Translation Directory was DELETED on 09MAY2015.

About payment, this scammer (claiming to reside in Paris, France) pulls the old "friend in Palestine" trick:
"I prefer Paypal, since Paypal is not available we can agree upon
bank transfer but I have some problems in my account and the bank I deal
with would cut much money from any transaction that is sent to me. If you
agree to send money to a third party it would be appreciated much. I have
a friend in Palestine who is an accountant and a translator in the same
time. I called him and he agrees to help. i worked many times in this way
and it is safe. (Later, "she" said: I called my colleague and
he accepted to help me, now you can send me the money via MoneyGram or
via Western Union to the same person in Palestine, there is no problem
to do that.)"

mobile number (Jawall network): +972599904731.
"Because I'm on a visit to the Holy Land", he said...

Most of the copy on this website has been taken from interpretingdirect.co.uk.
12 Al Nasr Mosque st, Al-Mansouria, Giza, Cairo 12962, Egypt
On Translators Café, this scammer praises another scammer, "Mark SoeJohnson"
from Basic Trans (Note 45): "Basic Trans is so recommended". Really? For scamming CVs and impersonating translators?
Abdel's CV is an almost exact copy of Egyptian translator Tamer A. Mekhimar's
CV. "This is the first time I see the CV of this Egyptian translator" said the scammer. In his exact words to someone who challenged him about
his fake CV: "Thanks for your solid comment however I have a domain with a unique
email and I am a certified translator not a scammer like you say. This
is the first time I see this website and the CV of the Egyptian translator
you mentioned. But for more security and safety, I will update both my
CV and the website too. Hope I am clear now." "More security and safety"? Really?
Recently (27AUG2014) this scammer requested us to delete the scam history:
"Hope you are well and have a good health. Regarding the below link
(he means this), I wish if you are so nice to delete it as I don’t use it at the moment
and have my own CV. I can also let Mr. I can contact Mr. Tamer himself
and ask him to send you a formal email with that request if it work with
you. Please let me know what shall I do to fix this matter. At the moment,
this matter doesn't harm me at all as translation field depends mainly
in professional quality and meeting the deadline but I don’t like to have
a negative history whatever it is." You don't like "to have a negative story"? Too bad, scammer,
because it is your story! |

NOTE 64 "Edward Mahana" introduces himself like this: "I’m a highly accomplished translator located in the United States".
He keeps a website (created on 31DEC2013, with HIDDEN registration data) with copy plagiarized from other translators (Michael Beijer, and others) and a profile on ProZ / xxxedward mahan (where
he claims to have credentials for German to English translation by Asociación
Argentina de Traductores e Intérpretes; AATI Directory doesn't show any
member with this name). On this ProZ report, "Edward" is reported to steal sample translations from other
translators and posting them as his own on his profile! ProZ profile has been deleted (11FEB2014).
Contacts (in email signature block):

NOTE 65 Ferdi Dierickx / [email protected] / [email protected] is
another ghost created by scammers. CV was stolen from someone in LinkedIn,
not even related to translation! Now for the best part:
1. Scammers took the name of a Belgian cyclist, born 1962, for their fake
translator!
2. Then, they moved this guy to Utrecht, the Netherlands, where he has
to live in a non-existing street!!!
3. Seems life was very hard at this place, so he started working as a translator
at the age of 17.
4. At the age of 19, he was "Project Assistent in Finance", then
he worked in IT, all of a sudden became a paralegal, then a freelance
translator, but he is also a "professional Environmental Planner".
5. For two years, he was a "Subtitle Translator" and, during
the same period, "Vice President, Capital Markets Group".
Not bad, for a guy of 32 years of age...
Thank you, F.B. (Germany) for this great forensic analysis! |

NOTE 66 "Arnold Conrad" is a low-profile scammer, i.e., doesn't emerge
very frequently. So far, he's known to use 2 email addresses: [email protected]
and [email protected] . For someone claiming to live in USA, the
use of Gmail addresses professionally is the first red flag one should
be aware of!
The address shown on his fake CV is, of course, fake: 739 Choctaw Trail,
37405 Chattanooga (United States of America)
Reliable online sources indicate that this address belongs to a Mr. Darryl
Lamont Carlton. On his CV, he claims to have worked for a company called
"German to English Global Translations, LLC" with the same address
as his own! Funny! This record shows the company located in Indiana, USA! This scammer also keeps a profile on "Outsource Translation". It appears to be a ghost created by the Amazing Translation gang (Samer Ghali). |

NOTE 67 Alexander Bekkelund, aka Edward Alexander, Edward Alexander SillyWalks
and possibly other aliases.
Uses these emails:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected] (address also used by a "Magga Dora Ragnarsdottir"; is she Alexander?)
[email protected]
[email protected]
Alexander's profile on Translators Café was removed on 03 JAN 2012. On
Translators Café, Edward Alexander claims to live in Norway: Klaus Eggesvei 47, Kolbotn, Oppland 1410,
Norway, but lists this phone number from Argentina: +5492983434356. Edward
signs his message on "Background" as "Alexander Bekkelund".
Alexander was banned from ProZ and Edward was banned from PayPal (under the name "JSP Ltd.")
Alexander is also widely known online (just google his emails...) for engaging
in the sale of psychedelic drugs, "sprits" (EthnoSpirit, Argentina) and other weird stuff, or looking for "dried poppies powdered/crushed"!
Exactly the kind of guy anyone wants to handle his/her translations... Claims to be the founder of a "Knall & Fall Translations, Norway" (fantasy name, ghost company, no website). Also associated w/ a "blog
company" (no physical address) called "LanguageSolvers Linguistics
Services", with these people:
Alexander Bekkelund / [email protected] / Skype: maggador (Edward
Alexander SillyWalks, Buenos Aires, Argentina) / Ph: +543548482462 (phone
number in Argentina) / Twitter: @MaggadorIX777 / Keeps a profile in Facebook:
"Maggador Edward Alexander" / Public Figure!!! / Claims to have
written crap like this: "Earth: A Spiritual Trap & Practical Exercises
to Ascend". |
|
NOTE 68 Bridges Institute for Languages and Development is a new scamming factory
from Palestine, operating on the same old scamming principle: luring translators
into signing a "Authorization and Agreement" to "market" their CVs. Under this delirious and legally insane "agreement", scammers
will "edit, moderate, and amend the CV provided to match the job needs"
(!!!), and translators have NO right to know what modifications scammers
make to their CV and NO right to cancel the agreement!!!
See also a post on ProZ about this scam.
On 24FEB2014, they circulated an email with the usual scamming trick: "I have been checking the most popular translation concerned websites
and I have passed through your CV which looked astonishing. I would like
to express our interest in Bridges Institute for Languages and Development
(BILD) to have you among our professional team of translators. We are a
fresh company working with freelancers all over the world and we are creating
a team of professionals to match market requirements." Of course, once exposed, scammers quickly repudiate every association
with their own scam with the most hilarious excuses, in a ridiculous attempt
to pass the buck and blame everyone but themselves.
Their website copy is plagiarized from various sources: Wikipedia, Cultural
Spanish Communication, Advanced Language Translation Inc., and others.
After being publicly exposed, most of their website pages are now empty
(26FEB2014).
Website: bildp.com (domain created on 27JAN2014). Profile on ProZ: (1879733) (registration on JAN2014). They claim to be members of an association

On March 1, 2014, following other messages strongly denying any association
with BILD (of course!), Mohammed Abughali wrote to us a very explicit message
about the inner works of BILD (with whom he is not related!!!). The closing
paragraph is quite interesting: "Please, remove NOTE 68, and we promise that we will never do anything
hurts translators, never scam any CV, and change the website." Read our FAQ, namely paragraphs 02 and 47. |

NOTE 69 Robert Wiscon (FAKE name) circulates a CV stolen from Casey Dovale (The
Netherlands), deceased in October 2010. The document author is a “Mr.Omar”, aka Mohammad Omar, aka Ibrahim Blewi aka Omar Salah Ibrahim
Al-Balawi from petra-trans.com and legotranslatinos.com (see Note 18). The address given is in Turkey: Büyükdere Caddesi No: 163 Zincirlikuyu
Sisli 34394 Istanbul (i.e., he lives in a bank agency from the aktif bank, but the phone is from The Netherlands (+31) or Bud Abbottstraat 9, 1325
CP Almere, The Netherlands (Caseys's address). Skype ID: robertwiscon (declared
location: United States). On his ProZ profile (1294133), he claims to be
associated w/ BonaVerba and to be based in USA or in Turkey (translatorstown.com/profile/24128).
On his G+ Profile, "Robert" writes in Arabic! Need we say more?
Recently, “Robert” became "Marcus Wiscon", still using the same
stolen CV. His address is now in an impossible location in Germany: “8665
Sudley Road, Suite 305/ Manassas, 42551 Velbert, (Germany)”. Funny: he ALSO lives at the UPS Store of Manassas (8665 Sudley Rd, Manassas, VA 20110, USA).
The declared address of Lonaverbas is in Turkey: "Dolapdere Cad. No.310
Pinar Apt. Kat.5 Pangalti Sisli" (try looking for it on Google map!).
On TranslatorsCafe, the phone number is +1 (818) 432-3939 (California,
USA), and no email is provided!
Robert Wiscon / [email protected] IS ON THE MAILING LIST OF TRAVOD (Note 73) and also appears on the website of LA Translation.
------------------------------------------------
BonaVerba* (bonaverba.net, now inactive) was located at a non-existent
address in Turkey: “67 Sevegei Sk, Istanbul”.
Originally, the project managers were:
Caroline Wilsonn / [email protected] / [email protected] (see FAKE photo)
Helena Wisman / [email protected] / [email protected]
Messages from Caroline Wilsonn were originated from IP 213.178.224.175,
i.e., Damascus, Syria. On some platforms, they give this toll-free number
in the US: +1 (866) 501-4068
* Not to be confused with Bona Verba, a company based in Finland (bonaverba.fi).
------------------------------------------------
After unfavorable comments posted online, BonaVerba became LonaVerbas / lonaverbas.com . Most of website copy is
plagiarized from “Lingo Compass” (Australia). They also use this URL: mail.al-salama.net/index.htm.
The domain has been registred by Baraa Kazzaz / [email protected] / Ph:
+90.5346874435. On his G+ profile, Baraa lives in Damascus, Syria, but
on the website registration data, he lives in Turkey, in some street named
"Immigration Center" in Bursa / Twitter: @baraakazza
The same Baraa Kazzaz owns the domain ptteam.us alias for professionaltranslatorsteam.com
(BOTH DOMAINS ARE NOT ONLINE AND ARE USED ONLY AS EMAIL SERVERS)
Recent data allow us to state that Baraa Kazzaz is an alias created by
Gulser Baran. Baraa keeps a profile in Facebook: BarBoOor
Bona Verba and Lona Verbas keep profiles on ProZ !!!: 36047 / 1413019
Another alias used by Lonaverbas is "Professional Translator Team"
(NOW BANNED FROM ProZ) is now using the following address: 162 Lourmel Street, Bridgeport, CT
06606, also used by scammer "Edward Mahana" / See Note 64
The declared address is in Turkey: "Dolapdere Cad. No.310 Pinar Apt.
Kat.5 Pangalti Sisli".
On TranslatorsCafe, the phone number is +1 (818) 432-3939 (California,
USA), and no email is provided!

Marcus Wiscon / [email protected]
Sonia Erkan / [email protected] / [email protected]
Ivan Li / [email protected] is, in fact, Omar Salah Ibrahim Al-Balawi from Lonaverbas
------------------------------------------------
Anika Fikse / [email protected] is another fake ID created by these
scammers. "Anika" keeps a profile in Linkedin as a "Professional
Translator and project manager" from the Netherlands. Except for LinkedIn,
"her" Internet footprint is ZERO! Reports indicate that payments
from "Anika" are made by Ibrahim Salah Alblwy, aka Omar Salah Ibrahim Al-Balawi out of Jordan via Western Union (See Note 18). "She" is also reported as a non-payer of very high amounts to
several translators.
------------------------------------------------
Caroline Wilsonn (see FAKE photo) / [email protected] is also associated w/ another scamming joint,
said to be based in Beirut, Lebanon or the UK: LingoEcho (lingoecho.com is NOW CLOSED) and the "company" has been banned from ProZ but their profile is still active.
Names associated w/ this outfit:
Steven Lauderhil (Lebanon – Turkey) / [email protected] / [email protected]

Ph: +1 (866) 935-8855 (toll-free number in the US)
------------------------------------------------
Credible and documented reports sent to us, make it safe to state that Robert Wiscon, aka Marcus Wilson, aka Edward
Mahana, aka John Troops, aka Anika Fikse are the same person as Caroline
Wilsonn (or vice-versa) sharing Sonia Erkan's email address and that they
use their fake IDs as baits to fish for projects. Example: on Elance, scammer "John Troops" gives Gulser Baran
/ LonaVerbas as his reference!!! It is also safe to state that all the
people above are also associated w/ a "Professional Translators Team"
/ [email protected] / professionaltranslatorsteam.com (not active)
/ Prott. On their ProZ profile (1663897) NOW CLOSED), they claimed to be based in the USA (no address, of course) and their
preferred currency is Euros! These scammers claim to be members of 51 (!!!)
translation organizations. Not bad for a "company" with less
than 3 employees!!! |

NOTE 71 A scammer with many faces: is he Sebastian Maluf or Sebastian Mikaelsson?
On "his" PDF CV, Sebastian lives in Poland, he is "Italian-Argentinean",
and has Portuguese as "mother tongue"! In a Polish school, he
is studying "Swedish and English philology, specialization: translation
and literature"! And, out of the blue, he claims to be the "Official
Translator of the Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery"! On
tradutores.com, Sebastian lives in São Paulo, Brazil and took a "Curso de legendagem
e tradução (UCLA – Los Angeles, California)". This course is
absent from his PDF CV! On Translation Directory, Maluf becomes "Mikaelsson",
"English-Spanish translator", and identifies himself with a photo of Finnish singer Ville Valo...
Both Maluf and Mikaelsson live in the same address and have the same phone
numbers:

NOTE 75 Another ghost company, a spin-off created by Arcadia Translations: Speech Global / Global Speech Ltd / globalspeech.co (without "m"). These scammers have been BANNED from Translation Directory (09OCT2014).
Website is a copy of a musician's website, Bill Smith (including audio tracks, with links leading to a black hole...), with a fake address (it belongs to the legitimate company "Language Labs" in The
Netherlands), and, of course, no names, and no phones. In a word: the usual scammer's
bullshit. On their emails, they claim to be based in "Sarphatistraat
614 1018 AV Amsterdam, Netherlands" (see Note 51). On the website, the location map is for Scottsdale, Arizona, USA!!! The domain globalspeech.co has expired and the website is now off the air
(JAN2015).
NOTE: Info cross-checking allows us to say that Speech Global and Wordsbreath
ARE THE SAME THING. The addresses [email protected] AND [email protected]
are the emails that Global Speech use to get jobs. Sana'a Ahmed is behind
the wordsbreath12 email, but they also reply to mails using the words.rainbow
one, and outsource work using Global Speech emails (with the fake names
and the Dutch address). They also also associated with Words Cloud (See Note 97). They are all based in Rafah, Gaza.
Recently (FEB2016), these scammers (Samanta Rowe) are impersonating SDL
with emails in Danish, inviting translators to do test translations for
SDL: Mange tak for din henvendelse og din interesse i at blive freelance oversætter
for SDL (Thank you for your inquiry and your interest in becoming a freelance

Mode of operation: scamming of CVs, after promising the marketing of translators'
CVs and "strong propaganda", and, of course, "work on many
projects"... The usual scammers' speech! See the scam in their own words!

NOTE 77 One more FAKE company based in Gaza: Unlimited Translation Services /
Ulimited Translations Services / UNL Translations / UNLTRASLATIONS Translations / ULTDTrans / ULTD Trans Co. / ULTDTRANSE (name used on LinkedIn)
/ Unltranslation / unltranslations.com / ultdtrans.com . Domain was created
on 09NOV2013 and it is owned by a "Ahmed Y. Lafi" (Gaza) / [email protected]

unltranslations.com (CLOSED, 07APR2014) / ultdtrans.com (ACTIVE, created on 09NOV2013).
On their website they claim: "Unlimited Translation Services is an
ISO 9001:2008 certified translation company based in Portland, Oregon,
USA"!!! The address is, OF COURSE, missing...
Copy on their ProZ profile (1860182) has been plagiarized (as usual) from
other companies: for instance, the "Industries" page of their
website is a verbatim copy from the website of "Andes Translations"
(San Jose, CA, USA). Also on ProZ (1860182), they claim to be certified
to "ASTM F2089-01, ASTM F2575, EN 15038, ISO 9001, Notary Approved, SAE
J2450, SDL Certified" and members of "Aalborg University, Asociación de Intérpretes de Conferencias de
la Argentina , Associazione Nazionale Interpreti di Conferenza Professionisti,
Austrian Association of Certified Court Interpreters, Centro Colombo Americano,
International Association of Conference Translators, Union of Translators
of Russia, University of Iowa, Department of Cinema and Comparative Literature" (REALLY?). This fake information is absent from their website!
"Unlimited Translation Services is an ISO 9001:2008 certified translation
company based in Portland, Oregon, USA (!!!) / We are one of the only translation agencies to publicise a CSR
policy (where?) and actively support ethical and sustainable practices / We are ISO 9001
accredited" With scammers, anything goes!
Address on website (FAKE): Sw 6th, Beaverton, OR 97007 / Gaza office (they
say): Al-Shuhada' St, Gaza Strip, Gaza, Palestine
PO issued by these scammers made by "awadallah" & signed by "Dalal Nada" / "company phone": +972592135800
(also used by Khalil Khatib, beintrans.com (Note 81) / Trying to evade location, they send their emails from AEST (Australian
Eastern Standard Time) / Andrew Alix is also a ghost created by "awadallah".
On Translation Directory jobs section, they write:
ULTD Translation Company
USA !!!
IP: 85.114.107.194 (Gaza, Palestinian Territory)
Like other Palestinian scammers, burnt everywhere within the translation
community, these scammers post their "jobs" (gotten with fake
CVs) in second-tier sites like adzuna.co.uk, jobrapido, Jooble, translancer.net,

NOTE 78 Translation Community / Translation Community Co. (!!!) / Translation
Community Company for Translations / Translation Co / translationcommunity.co
is a FAKE company based in "Portugal" (see another FAKE company based in "Portugal") created by the infamous Languagemet / Translation Secrets scamming gang
based in Palstine / Gaza. They use IP 5.11.41.173 = Gaza.
Domain registration data:

Registrant Email: [email protected] (also associated with Globallingo / Note 121)
And, why would a company purportedly based in Portugal register a domain in
COLOMBIA (.co)?
THEY HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM ProZ.
Website copy has been mainly plagiarized from Zelenka Translations (Czech
Republic) and Tradu24 Limited (UK) (in their "About Us" page,
we can read: "Quality not only assumes a central role here at Tradu24...") and shows some hilarious typos, like “Quta Request” and “Propsas”.
Address given on website (in Lisbon, Portugal) is FAKE: Rua Sinais de Fogo, Lt. 9.12004-H, Parque das Nações 1990-605 LISBOA
Recently (MAR 2015), these scammers amended their website and claim that
Lisbon is their "second branch", the "first branch"
being at: Alremal tower, Omar Almokhtar St, Gaza, Gaza Strip, Palestine
(ALSO A FANTASY ADDRESS). Of course, the "first branch" has no phones... Phone numbers
given are also FAKE: Ph: 01914972344 (???) / Ph: 218942135 (NOT EXISTENT)
Typical email circulated by these scammers: "We are very interested in establishing a long-term collaboration
with you after we see your work, our clients asks to view your CV to be
able to evaluate your capacity. Therefore, we humbly request to have your
permission before offering the CV to the clients. It's like we are marketing

On their emails, they write crap like this: "So we are a trustful medium between you and the clients. But I will
be grateful if you give me the permission to make some changes of small details that will never weaken your respected CV. and I promise you that the most win and the highest earns will be for you. Beside the above mentioned, you will deal with a comfortable and a punctual
team of a long experience and a golden translation with you, of course.
However, be sure that you are dealing with an honest company and please trust us because we give you a legal step to get good job. You will be a lucky translator as well as we, if you agree." See the whole thing in PDF.

NOTE 83 Mondo Translations / Mondotranslations / Mondo Translations, Ltd / Mondo
Translations Ltd / Mondo-trans / mondotranslations.com is another creation
of the infamous Palestinian scamming ring (Languagemet, Gentle Translations
Group, Translation Secrets, Muchdo, etc.). They FALSELY claim to be members of the Association of Czech Translation Agencies and Atlanta Association
of Interpreters and Translators and to be ISO 9001 certified!!!
AS OF 08 MAY 2014, THESE SCAMMERS HAVE BEEN BANNED FROM TRANSLATION DIRECTORY!
Ahmad Hassouna, the owner of the Mondo Translations domain (created October
11, 2012), has the SAME PHONE NUMBER of Gentle Translations Group: +972592581826. Scammer behind this operation is a “Ahmed Omar” / Ahmed
Omar Elkhair / Ahmed Omar Abu Elkhair (al-Khair). He uses “Ahmed” in job
posts for Gentle Translations and “Eng.Ahmed” (no space) for jobs posts
for Mondo Translations. "Eng.Ahmed" is none other than Ahmed Omar (@realahmed8). Computer Engineer | MBA Student | CEO and Founder
of Gentle Translations Group.
In LinkedIn, Ahmed Omar appears as Founder and CEO of yet another scamming
outfit: The Palestinian Center for Translation Services !!! (just a fantasy
name, no domain). His Facebook account is /realahmed8 (no photos of himself
and no friends) / Twitter: realahmed8 / Eman A. (a very convenient name)
is also associated with this "Center". On LinkedIn, he says:
"With me, you have no worries".
They claim to have offices in Argentina and in Jordan, but, of course,
only email addresses are given and the Argentinean physical address is
a very "British" "33 Main Street" in Mendoza... Guess
what? The "Main Office" in Gaza is also located on "33 Main Street" (just like the address from Gentle Translations: “33 Main St., Rafah, Gaza
Strip, Palestine”...). On their ProZ profile, they're also located in Jordan, but nobody knows
where...
These scammers also use other phone numbers: +972592429993 (Palestine)
and a US number in Ohio (234) 234-2345 (for a FAKE New York address belonging to the Bank of New York on Wall Street!!!). On their profile in Elance, they claim to work for a phantasmagorical "Gentel Translation"!!!
This phone number is also used by a ghost called Jenni Gilbert / [email protected]

do this, you can either use the quick price calculator on the left." THERE IS NOTHING ON THE LEFT!

the greatest "translator" on Earth! With her CV (a copy and paste
piece of work), she must be, at least, 170 years old (it's just a shame
she doesn't educate us about her DOB...). She is capable to translate from
eye and gynecology surgery, to oil pumps, to advanced physics, to patents
in adhesive resins, and to certified financial translation. On 2003, she
stated on a ProZ Powwow to be "25 years old"... Her passport (if genuine) shows her DOB as 18MAR1979.

Her phone is +20103674943 and Fax: +202-344-2785 (Washington D.C., USA)
On her CV on ProZ Profile, Shimaa Aly (DELETED), she is "Egyptian / South African". On some websites, Shimaa
is "I am American / Egyptian citizen" (it looks so more respectable...)
or an "Egyptian Slovak citizen" or yet "a citizen of Egypt
and Libya". Shaima Aly is also a "Gender Program Manager, and
Gender and Communications Consultant for various NGOs in Egypt and Slovakia"
Really?
She keeps another ProZ profile: Shimaa A. Majeed / Shimaa Aly A.majeed
/ [email protected] . CV on this profile shows "Shimaa Aly Abdel
Majeed / mrs.shaimaa" as her name.
"Sorry for my late response as I was abroad". We understand, Shaimaa, scammers are always on the move...
"For some family reasons I am currently -for 2 months only- in "Romania,
Oliarova street, Bucharest, 7661. TelePh: 0040373782710". Nice address, scammer! Where is it? We also love the FAKE phone number...
"Sorry, I have never been asked to provide ID for any company I am
working with." We understand! It's the typical scammers' response when asked for any
proof of their ID!
"I am originally Egyptian with EU permanent residence". Where? Any phone number to show us?
"I am based in EU zone (...) here is Austria". Now it's Austria?
About Oliara Hudzikova / Saudi Arabic native speaker / I am Saudi Arabic
speaker based in Romania: In the e-mail address the name written is Oliara
Hudzikova and the e-mail message is signed as Oliara Aly. "Oliara"
responded: "My mom was originally Albanian and my father was Saudi where I lived
most of my life. She named me after one grandmother, so my name in full
is Oliara-Shaima Aly". Of course, Oliara, Shaima, Aly, whatever... |

NOTE 99 Hans Rainer Biermann / Hans-Rainer Biermann / Wackenbergstr. 29, 13156
Berlin / Ph: +4903020896777 (DISCONNECTED) / CV author: ak ??? Claims to have taken "English to German &
German to English (Ernst Moritz Arndt-Universität Greifswald)". In
fact, his practical work (1974) was named "Untersuchung von Abwässern der Düngemittelanlage und Bilanzierung
der Stickstoffverlust in den Abwässern dieser Anlage" (Investigation of the fertilizer plant effluents and accounting for the
loss of nitrogen in the plant effluent). Also claims to work with Dutch
to German (no Dutch-learning background is provided).
"Hans" requests payment / see other payment to be made to an Estonian company!!! Why? "The idea is that they simply help me with my accounting things and,
in some cases, representing as a translator, recommending to their clients,
etc., but all this gives me more free time for my work." REALLY? Either "Hans" uses the Estonian company for tax evasion
in Germany, or the Estonian company A2Z Ltd. uses the profile and identity
of "Hans Rainer Biermann" illegally to apply as "German
native" freelancer on ProZ.
When asked again to confirm his phone number, claimed to be staying in Estonia and could not take the call. To make it even more dubious, his messages are sent from an IP Address located in Kiev, Ukraine: 194.242.103.175
(blacklisted by many sites online).
Small wonder: the scammer behind this ghost "Estonian" company
is Alla Kondrat aka Alla Ovod from Prilyki, Ukraine. She uses the screen name @allaovod on freelance.com, where she also claims to own the domain a2zltd.com . She is also known for writing plagiarized crap about tarot, feng shui,
personal finance, marketing, English language, etc. Keeps profiles in LinkedIn and in ProZ (both under Alaa Ovod / allaovod),
where she says nothing about A2Z Translations / a2zltd.com

Alisa Zingerman now gives Hebrew lessons online on learnhebrew.eu . Alla
Ovod and "Hans Rainer Biermann" are strong advertisers, using the exact same wording...
On this job offer, a "Maria" from A2Z L. (in Ukraine) is looking for translators for "part-time job from home": "Basically, no previous experience in translation is needed, but some
experience in technical/medical/business fields is preferable." OK, we get the idea, "Maria"! Same offer can be seen here. Or this Job For-Inernatioanal-Students (in RUSSIAN). Or We are looking for a Project Manager to take care of translations projects
in our agency (home based position) (in a Ukrainian portal).

NOTE 100 Frenchman Aymeric Mathéossian created yet another translation portal:
"QIWE, outil pour traducteurs et agences de traduction. Publication
de projets par les agences, proposition de devis par les traducteurs" / qiwe.fr . The registration data is conveniently protected, but he left
his name embeded in the HTML source of the website.
The domain / website was created on 22MAR2015 and, at least, on 01APR2015,
it listed the fantastic number of 3620 translators!
Following several complaints from translators who have never registered
in the site, the translators listing was REMOVED. On 04APR2015, the site still lists 84 translation agencies. The website
shows no ownership data and no physical address and contacts. Being a French
e-commerce site (site marchand), the required "Déclaration CNIL" is not shown (En cours). CNIL is the "Commission nationale de l’informatique et des libertés".

NOTE 101 Nardina Alongi is a name well known among translators and synonymous with
NON-PAYER. The known reports available online puts the scam into the hundreds of thousands
of owed money!
More info about this scam: nardina-alongi-translation-scam.blogspot.com (by Colin McCullough)
In this piece of crap, Nardina claims (FALSELY) that Globale Kommunikation is a member of the American Translators Association:
Globale-Kommunikation Munich is, besides the mentioned certificates, a
member of the ata – the American Translator Association. For this
since 1959 existing Association for supporting international translation
services of all occupations only the best qualified services can apply.
The same Umsatzsteuer-Identifikationsnummer (Germany: USt-IdNr.) – DE280550268 – is used for ALL "companies"
associated with Nardina...

NOTE 102 Another FAKE company, created by Palestinian scammers, also based in "Portugal": One Touch Translation / OTT / OTTranslation / OTT Zone / ottranslation.com
(domain registration data is, of course, hidden). Domain was created on
27 NOV 2014. The website copy is, as usual, plagiarized from other websites:
Somya Translators Pvt Ltd (India), Vinclu (UK), Translation Central Ltd
(UK), Global Quality Solutions Ltd (UK), i Translation Zone (India), Optilingua
International (Switzerland) and other online sources. The entire website, including its logo (modified), has been stolen from here / OTT website was disabled (19FEB2016) and active again (12APR2016).
The address is FAKE: 677, Moo 6, Algés Lisboa, Portugal / No phone, of course. Now, they "moved" to: City Cinter. Rafah Province, Gaza Strip, Palestine or Sultas St., Rafah, Gaza Strip,
Palestine. Did they also move their "Portuguese" staff, including
"Anna", the CEO?

NOTE 103 Another monumental scam: Simi Agarwal (or Dr. Simi Agarwal) is the owner
of a ghost "Telematic Solutions Translations" based in India
with no address, no website, but, of course, a Gmail address...
Telematic Solutions Translations / Ph: +911294071529 / Ph: +919958455229
/ +0300-5337956 / Skype: tele_solutions12
BANNED FROM PROZ: Simi Agarwal / Telematic Solutions Translations (previously T.M.Solutions

still active under the name "translation_exp"; Simi is also BANNED from Translators Café.
Simi is also behind another Telematic Solutions, a company operating in
the IT sector (impulseinternational.com):
Address: 529, Ground Floor, Mother Dairy Road, Sector 17, Faridabad (Delhi
NCR), India 121002
Email: [email protected]
Screen names used: sp_winner (ebay) / S Agarwal (other online portals)
On her LinkedIn profile Simi is Dental Surgeon, Doctor (Pune University)
and a self-appointed "Presiding Manager of Prestigious Diamonds and
Jewellery Who's Who Group on Linkedin" (yes, she also sells diamonds...),
and "Simi & her family are owners of large scale Rice mills and are
supplying Rice and such commodities to clients worldwide. Her father has
been Adviser to Power Minister of Mauritius".Simi is also ready to sell "Raw Cashew Nut in Shell" or buying Diethyl Benzene...
The comment on this link – 1. Translator – June 19, 2009 -- is also eloquent about the association of Simi with Somya Translators
Pvt. Ltd. (also in India): "I used the direct contact button on the platform – and got an answer
from [email protected] "

NOTE 104 Emma Carré / Emma Translations / Native French Freelancer / (also uses
"Pure Translations") is a bold and resourceful scammer:
CV circulated by "Emma" was stolen from Fabien Champême (Spain),
Aleksandra Sondermeijer (France), Hillary Nichole Carroll (UK), Mitsuyoshi
Takeyama (Japan), Emi Wakai (Japan) & other sources.
The address on CV – 6 ancienne route impériale, 04000 Digne-les-Bain, France – belongs to a genuine translator, Jean-Luc Dumont, France (his CV as also been scammed as "Amanda Charass"). Phone on
CV (FAKE): +33975180831
Emma's CV is also found on chinatranslation.net (a company known for posting FAKE CVs online) as "Chloe S. Costantino" and as..."Emma Carré". BEWARE:
On the CV, the "Online Quote Form" link redirects to the quotation
form of a company called "Taohai Global Solutions" (China) and
the "Send an e-mail" link redirects to "mailto:" to
the same Chinese company: "mailto:[email protected]%3Fsubject=Quote%20for%20Chinese%20Translation". Note: the same link and wording found in Emma's CV is also found here (see bottom of page)...
Claims on CV: "English: STEP 1st Grade (Charter No. 3383) Professional English Interpreter
2nd Grade" copied verbatim from Mitsuyoshi Takeyama (Japan) and "Licensed guide (English), French National Tourism Association TOEIC
950" copied and modified from Emi Wakai (Japan). Note: TOEIC is a registered trademark from the "Educational Testing
Service" (USA, Japan).
Domain registration data for emma4french.com is, as usual, confidential.
About the website:
1. Domain created on 24 JUN 2013 (some entries on the website are dated
October 2009...)
2. Syntax xxx4french is typically used by Palestinian (Arabic) nationals.
3. Address: Our Company Inc., 2458 S . 124 St.Suite 47, Town City 21447 (REALLY?) / Phone: 124-457-1178 / Fax: 565-478-1445 (FAKE)
4. Copy in website has been plagiarized from Naked Translations (from Céline
Graciet, UK), Laura Ball (UK), À la carte translations (UK), and other
sources.
5. Website closed (JUL 2015). Fighting scammers works!
On September 2020, another fake CV emerged with the same addreess (6 ancienne
route impériale - 04000 Digne-les-Bains, France, 0033 Digne-les-Bains (France))
and the same phone number 33975180831:
Matilda Lajoie / [email protected]
Domain created: 12MAR2020 / Registrant data is private
And, given the similarities of the signature block used by Matilda, we
have uncovered another fake CV:
Ronja Meyer / [email protected] / [email protected]
Domain created: 25FEB2020 / Registrant data is private
The author of ALL files on "Ronja" website is none other than:
Ahmed Omar (Note 15)

NOTE 107 Real Translator Jobs / Real Translator Jobs Inc. / Real Translator Inc
/ RTJ / RT®J / realtranslatorjobs.com / 1847641 Ontario Limited
An abnoxious and shady organization dedicated to extort money (they call
it "membership fees") in exchange for "fantastic translation
jobs": "There are many translators earning well over $100,000 usd a year." (website FAQ)
One opinion about this scamming operation: Real Translator Jobs Scam – Unbiased Review
And another from the No Peanuts! for Translators website.
Their website shows some very interesting information:
1. Domain registration data is HIDDEN
2. NO physical address and NO phone number
However, in their "agreement" (they call it "Management
Agreement RTJ"), they include these data:
1. 1847641 Ontario Limited (aka Real Translator Inc). No records exist
about this "corporation; there is, however, a genuine 1847641 ALBERTA
LTD. (a Numbered Corporation incorporated 2014).
2. In the signature block, they include this absurd statement: "Guardian's signature if Translator is under 18" !!!
3. Address: 2063 Yonge Street, Suite 202, Toronto, Ontario M4S 2A2, Canada (exactly the same address for a model and talent management company called
MAX Agency / maxagency.com ) or this FAKE address 67 Browns Ridge Rd, Ellijay
GA 30540
4. Phone and fax numbers – (416) 482-5392 / Fax: (416) 482-4109 –
also the same used by MAX Agency.

NOTE 108 With their fake CV scam busted, scammers are now resorting to other schemes
to extort money from the translation community. This time, a "Emily Phillips" contacted translators impersonating a PM from a US company (APEX Translations
Inc.), offering them a very lucrative position within the company. Catch:
the real company does employ a real Emily Phillips and the scammers' emails bear all signs pointing to the real company (name,
address, website). The email addresses used by the scammers are, of course, from Gmail...
Those who respond, are then lured further into the scam by a "recruiter"
– Ameer Nassim, James Sanskrit or Jennifer White – who attaches
to the emails a pack of files – Employment Information & Employment
Agreement – all looking perfectly legitimate. But victims have to act fast and send the scammers $30.00 to secure their
golden position...
Translators are directed to make their "registration" at these
URLs (GA domain = GABON)
Your personal link to register is : apex-portal.ga/newregistration
You can login here : apex-portal.ga/
The original domain is: translatorjob.byethost11.com/ (Byethost11.com / cdn.byethost2.com/index.html / Byet Internet Services
/ All websites hosted show this URL format: xxxx.byethost11.com/ . The URL appears to have been disabled and showed crap like "Watch this FREE video below to learn how I am making 10 000 $ + per
month translating documents and texts from my native language to English..." The same copy is found on translatefromhome.tk , also hosted by Byethost11.com
).
The ultimate URL is translatorswork.com with these registration data:
Registrant Name: S. YOO
Registrant Street: 1541-203, 394 SANG DONG
Registrant City: BUCHEON
Registrant State/Province: KYUNGKIDDO

On 03 Jan 2016, a new scam was reported on ProZ:
Hypay / Hipay Media / HiPay – Digital Payments Experts / hipaymedia.com
(WEBSITE DISABLED 04JAN2016)
HIPAY Panel / hipay mobile / hipaypanel.com (DOMAIN REGISTERED 24DEC2015)
(WEBSITE ACTIVE AS OF 04JAN2016)
Registration data for these domains are the same as for qandaresearch.com
(Julian Hatman), but, within a few hours, the registration data for hipaymedia.com was changed
to:
Registrant Name: Emmie Cockie (FAKE NAME)
Registrant Street: 800 Avenue Road #456 (a Municipal Park...)
Registrant City: Toronto
Registrant State/Province: Ontario
Registrant Postal Code: L7N2K1
Registrant Country: CA
Registrant Phone: +1.4168859393 (belongs to a "Sean Purcell... or to a business...)
Registrant Email: [email protected] ("Esmeralda T" on Google profile)
Scammers are impersonating a genuine payment portal headquartered in France,
HiPay, and offering translators a position:
"Translator Employment Offer – Hipay Media – The team
and I have been impressed with your background and approach and would love
to formally offer you a position as a Translator. Although we traditionally
conduct interviews with our applicants prior to offering them a position
within the company, your credentials have convinced us that you possess
the right skill set to properly fulfill this position."
HOW THE SCAM WORKS:
--------------------------------
1. Translators receive an email signed by Lucia Venucci or Samuel White
with a link to a "formal letter" (filename: tr_offerletter.pdf).
2. From this "formal letter", translators are lured into another
PDF link (Translator Agreement), filename: translatoragreement.pdf).
3. This translator agreement (14 pages) (CLICK TO SEE THE PHOTOS) is but a copy-and-pasted pack of lies, including the names of the purported
"managers" of the "company":
SAM WHITE / Co-Founder and Portal Administrator / Photo is from Robert Laing, founder of Gengo and and bio note has ben copied from Apex Translations (Winfried Schlamadinger)
ELODY OKE / Portal Manager / Photo is from a hairstyling site (8th photo from the top) and bio note has ben copied from Apex Translations (Emily Philips)!
LUCIA VENUCCI / Office / Portal Manager / Photo is from Aisha Allee, Mauritius
4. And now, fro the final stage of the scam: "You will also have to install a refundable security deposit of 30$
for us to verify your identity." – THAT'S THE SCAM: you'll have to pay 30 USD to this gang!
IMPORTANT NOTE: On their Translators Agreeement, in an effort to confuse translators, ALL websites shown on the lower right corner of every page belong to their
legitimate owner (a French company), EXCEPT hipaypanel.com, which was created
and operated by the scammers. Funny: in this document, the addresses (page 4-5) belong to Gengo, Inc.,
and, hey, "Every office also holds an annual employee party in its respective
city"
Info from ProZ: "Note that the page to make the payment includes a Realtranslatorjobs.com
banner, a scam website that has been around for several years." (See Note 107)
The address listed on their emails – 25 Taylor Street, San Francisco
– belongs to a coworking office space firm.
Lucia Venucci keeps a profile in Translators Café (NOW REMOVED) with this data:
201 W. Water Street, Suite 5, Kansas City 010001, United States (FAKE) / Ph: +913 945 3704 (belongs to a real estate company)

NOTE 111 Another sleazy operation set up by a known translator impersonator: Kamal
Ebrahim aka Kamal Abdelhafiz (see other names below). His career seems to be that of a translator impersonator and seller of SIM cards for mobile phones. Now, he started another "business": a translation bidding portal

course on a also sleazy website, alltranslatorsoftheworld.com . Domain

Website copy, as usual with scammers sites, has been copied from other

All-translators-of-the-world (21,801 likes on 12OCT2015). Website contents is just a copy-and-paste operation of jobs posted online.
On his advertisement email, Abdel or Kamal writes crap like this: More than 50,000 translators of the world use our website (40% of the Arab

More than 12,000 agencies from all the world put their projects on our

NOTE 112 One more monumental scam from the same operators behind the infamous Real
Translator Jobs / Real Writing Jobs scamming ring: IAPWE / International
Association of Professional Writers & Editors / iapwe.org (created
29SEP2015; the owner of the domain uses a service to hide his identity).
From their website "IAPWE Now Hiring Writers and Editors". AN ASSOCIATION IS HIRING?
Contacts provided on website / The real location is unknown:
255 Patroon Creek Blvd, Albany, NY 12206 (a residential complex) see cache of 06NOV2015; on Twitter, they're based in New York!
Now, 06JAN2016, the website says they're located here: 1732 1st Ave New
York, NY 10128 (a UPS Store...)
Ph: (888) IAPWE-50 / (888) 427-9350 / Calls to this number are answered
by a recorded message: "We currently have no staff to answer your call..."
On Craigslist, they claim: "We are now hiring writers and editors to work for our organization.
Pay starts at $0.04 per word for writers and $.01 per word for editors." Also a sign of these scammers working in a network can be seen in this
comment "I applied for an editing position awhile ago that I found from my
school's job search page. I wasn't sure about it then but it didn't seem
too sketchy, so I applied. I got the response yesterday from Mike Townsend saying they are full but
IAPWE is hiring."
And yet, some people tend to believe anything: "Some people are always on the lookout for a scam. I’m not seeing
a scam here but maybe that’s just me. I signed up, they said it’s free
to look around and if you decide you want to keep accessing their job boards
you can pay them one dollar per month [BY CREDIT CARD] after you’ve already looked at everything for free. Kind of a weird model
but it doesn’t seem like a scam." – Good luck, sucker!
Twitter: @iapwe (on 17OCT2015: 40 following, 4,913 followers, NOT ONE TWEET) / They also operate dozens of fake Twitter accounts with fantastic names
and fake photos OR ARE PAYING SOMEONE IN BANGLADESH TO REPLY TO OUR TWEETS (Note 118).
These scammers do not hesitate to use photos from real people, or just
random photos, to make them (under different, fake, names, of course) their
associates:
See Photo 1 ("Sandra Shoemaker" is, in fact, a librarian from Eastern University
in Philadelphia, USA, and "Lindsay Malban" is, in fact, a US-based
translator); after this translator complained about having her photo abusively used / same complaint here they removed it (See Photo 2 / or this tweet from the victim).
Then, on 17OCT2015, they decided to give all their ghosts NEW FACES AND
PHOTOS (See Photo 3). On 03NOV2015, ALL ghosts' photos and names were gone... Of course, the
explanation was: "The web designer did it and we knew nothing about
it."
"We are no longer accepting new members at this time." (AUG2016). Ah, what a shame!
This gang also keeps creating ghosts with blogs to match their names in
which they praise the high-paying jobs gotten through IAPWE. Here's one
of them: Jason Royston / jasonroyston.com / [email protected] exposed in this website. He states "I have been an entrepreneur for much of my life"
(from the photo on his website – of coure, the domain registration
data is private – he looks around 30, and gives us no info about
his entrepreneurial accomplishments). But there's more: Jason's photo is also used by a Anthony Ollins (on LinkedIn), from a "wallstreet enterprises", which sells "designer
fragrances all around the world". Final catch: Although Google caught
his photo, Anthony no longer shows his photo on his LinkedIn.

NOTE 113 Linggo Pentadbiran (i.e., Lingo Administration) is a scamming and money-sucking
operation based in Malaysia operated by Xamryi Rmlanz. Names used: LinggoWorld

Their translation registration is very simple: "Step 1: Please make a deposit of $25" and their operation is also very clear: "We are also looking for international translator in any background
to work online from home, with / without experience" And, to maximize their income, they ask you to "donate to help the
orphans": "DONATE BELOW TO GET JOBS! LinggoWorld is organizing a program to
sponsors orphans all over the world. Hundreds of orphans urgently need
your help." Poor orphans!!!
Of course, to lure suckers, they decorate their website with fake client
testimonials, with also fake photos (this is one example).

job offers, like Roza Yasn & Doaa Ekrem.

NOTE 114 Arnold Matta is a ghost created by Fadi Saeed, also associated with a
known Palestinian scamming outfit: Transharvest Agency (See Note 81).
Arnold's CV is but a copy and partial impersonation of Ségolène-Armelle-Marie
Neilson (UK) with modified name, city, and (of course) email address, phone
removed, and added parts from the CVs of Tony Walters (FR) and Kathryn
J. Litherland (USA).
THE AMAZING SAGA OF INVOICES SENT BY "ARNOLD" FOR A BOGUS JOB
SET UP BY A EUROPEAN COMPANY
1. Job entailed the translation of several HTML files. Needless to say,
"Arnold" provided a Google translation...
2. "Arnold" sends his 1st invoice: payee requested is an unidentified PayPal address, [email protected]
3. "Arnold" is requested to provide "his" VAT number:
"I don’t have VAT No.". He sends a 2nd invoice...
3. Challenged again, "Arnold" states "I have moved into Canada two years ago, there is no taxes here": Invoice no. 3.
4. Our "Arnold" returns: "I was in a hospital the last two days, I was very sick but now I
am better". Invoice no. 4, this time the payee is our well-known Saïd Lemonnier (See Note 0).
Of course, as a last resort, "Arnold" thinks, he comes with the
usual threat scammers use when busted:
"Ok, I will share this issue with all translation sites, Proz, translation-directory
and translators base, make sure if I didn't get my payment, your company
will be put in black list."

NOTE 123 1. Our attention was first attracted to this post on ProZ, where an "ALLIANCE of Applied Translators and Interpreters International" presents their
"AATII’s Translation Contest: "We’ll soon announce one champion for each language — a prize of USD$1,000,
which equals to $2 per word." Really, a prize valued at a price per word? And "What’s more, the winner will be offered an “AAA” professional rating
by AATII". The text to translate is but a marketing piece for their website, and
participants in the contest are urged to promote the “contest” and the
"Alliance" in social media... Of course, Lixin Cheng aka Clint
Cheng, the owner of this outfit, was given a "AATII Professional Rating: AAA" by himself... And more: "Honorable Mentions will enjoy (…) Free professional assessment by
AATII at a market price of USD$260!" So, their “assessment” will cost you USD$260? And "the tuition fee of AATII Training Program in Vancouver which is worth
USD$450" There's also a "training program"?
2. Who is this "ALLIANCE"? aatii.COM / Domain created 09APR2015 (“Founded on September 9, 2015”, on Facebook)
Registrant Name: Lixin Cheng
Registrant Organization: Princemountain Transnational Services Inc.
Registrant Street: #300-5900 No. 3 Road
Registrant City: Richmond
Registrant State/Province: British Columbia
Registrant Postal Code: V6X 3P7
Registrant Country: CA
Registrant Phone: +1.6043702171
Registrant Email: [email protected]
OK, it's just a publicity stunt for and from a Canadian translation company
called "Princemountain Transnational Services Inc.". Their tweet
account – @AATIICOM – makes it clear: "Our platform empowers businesses to communicate through multiple languages. We connect
language freelancers with clients." So, the "ALLIANCE" is now a business "platform"? Their
website sheds some more light: "At aatii.com (officially aatii.com e-commerce, inc.), we provide
access to qualified translators and interpreters. We started this platform from a concept brewed back in 2013 with our passion for helping people
find translators and interpreters of any language, from anywhere on the
globe." Wow! We wonder why nobody thought of this before!
On LinkedIn, Clint Cheng "explains": "AATII.com is the first global marketplace that provides access to
accredited translators and interpreters". Qualified? Accredited? And claims that "With 100,000+ professionals in our database already, our goal is to be the largest platform of its kind in the world". 100,000+ accredited professionals already? Seriously? On their Facebook,
we can read this original line: "Translation and interpretation services at your fingertip". Original, indeed.
See how Lixin Cheng turned an "Associate Member" card number from
the STIBC into a "Licence"!!!
Address: #300-5900 No.3 Road, Richmond BC Canada V6X3P7 / Ph: + 1 604 370

LISTING OF TRANSLATORS & INTERPRETERS IN FALSE DATABASE
In a revolting case of identity theft and abuse, these scammers created
a database of 20,000+ names (confirmed by a NETA member who called them
up). The database also shows fabricated specialties and other professional
information, and added a "rating" next to each name (1 to 3 stars,
from "acceptable" to "excellent"). They also fabricated
rates charged by each individual (funny: everyone is charging 8 cents a
word). We are aware of the many outraged phone calls and emails made to
the scammers. At 11:30 am (UTC) 15APR2016, names and false info are still
posted on this "ALLIANCE" website.
See also how the defiant Lixin Cheng responded to a translator about his FRAUDULENT
database.

3. Who is PTS / Princemountain Transnational Services Inc. ?
Registrant Name: Lixin Cheng
Registrant Organization: Princemountain Transnational Services Inc.
Registrant Street: #1706-7888 Saba Road
Registrant City: Richmond
Registrant Postal Code: V6Y 0A2
Registrant Country: CA
Registrant Email: [email protected]
Address; #300-5900 No 3 Road, Richmond BC Canada V6X 3P7 / Ph: +(604) 370-2171
(i.e., the same as the "Alliance")
On their website, Lixin claims fantastic things, such as:
1. Google, vancouver. org (the City of Vancouver), bc.org (linking to an non-existant bc.ca) and Canada (linking to the official website of the Government of Canada) are Our Partners;
2. "...boasting ready access to a vast pool of 100,000+ accredited translators
and interpreters". "Accredited" by whom?
3. In their "About US" page in Chinese (thank you, Google Translate),
"the principal of the company is [among other things] president of the International Association of Applied Translation (aatii.org)" and that "company under the professional translation business platform in the
world, registered more than 100,000 certified translators" Again, "certified" by whom? And, is Lixin talking about his
"Aliance" or his "Association"?
OK, the "Alliance", the "platform" and "PTS"
(a translation company) all have the same people. See the proof.
But, wait, there's more:
4. Enter another AATII, but now with a different name: ASSOCIATION of Applied Translators and Interpreters International / aatii.ORG / Domain created 20 OCT 2014 / Who are they?
Registrant Name: Lixin Cheng
Registrant Organization:
Registrant Street: 5900 No.3 Rd.
Registrant City: Richmond
Registrant State/Province: BC
Registrant Postal Code: V6X3P7
Registrant Country: CA
Registrant Phone: +1.7788587707
Registrant Email: [email protected]
#300-5900 No. 3 Road, Richmond BC, V6X 3P7 / Ph: +1(604) 370 2171 (i.e., the same as the "Alliance" and PTS, the company)
Look, we now have the same people behind the "Alliance", the
"platform", the company called "PTS" and now an "Association"!!!
They claim stuff like this:
"The Association of Applied Translators and Interpreters International
(AATII) is an internationally recognized organization of translators and interpreters." "Recognized" by whom?
"...we maintain the highest standards of quality, credibility, and
ethical code. Thus the interests of customers that require services provided
by our members are protected." Poor "customers", if they believe this.
"AATII is incorporated as a not-for-profit association by the Government
of Canada." On Corporations Canada, we can see that AATII (Association) was indeed
incorporated on 19JAN2015 (Corporation Number 917689-6, BC) as a NFP (Not-For-Profit).
Directors: Lixin Cheng and Nein Yin Chang (Minimum: 2, Maximum: 5) However, the bylaws stipulate that "The number of Directors shall be not less than three and not more
than seven".
"The standards created by AATII are accepted around the world." Again, "accepted" by whom? Like their info on "Translate
Certification Courses" being only in Chinese? They also claim to have
an "Accreditation Committee", also called "Membership and
Accreditation Committee", with several names, including "Associate
Members" of a reputed Translators Association in British Columbia,
Canada. In the early hours of 20APR2016, one of its "members"
published this on ProZ: "At no time did I agree to be a member of an Accreditation Committee." A few hours later, the whole "Accreditation Committee" was "sacked"
and removed from the "Lixin Cheng Association" website...
According to their bylaws, their voting members ("Accredited"
and "Fellows") must be "a Canadian resident" and "The board of directors may delegate the administration of certification examinations to the board
of directors of Princemountain Transnational Service Inc." That’s some funny association! On TranslatorPub, this "confusion"
between an "association" and a corporation is also very clear:
the logo for the company is the logo for the “association". See more confusion here.
To impress the unwary visitor, they posted some logos of well-known and legitimate Translators Associations on their website with
this heading: "Associations recognized by AATII"!!! [NOW REMOVED ONLINE]. Do these associations know about this "recognition" and the
abusive use of their logos? As for their own logo (which is the same for
the "Alliance", except for the first word) shows an interesting
ALT description: "Translate.Co". Later, they dropped the "recognized"
and started using "affiliated associations" and "Affiliated
Society", without showing any...
Not surprisingly, 2 years after their domain registration they have no
membership to show! And, there’s also no information about dues! That’s
some very funny association!
UPDATE: Someone decided to get serious about this scam
Clint is also the "CEO" of another money-sucking outfit: Jooyee
Network Inc. / jooyee.com / @jooyee_network / "Featuring crowd-sourced and funded translations by human and AI,
we amass quality contents swiftly and share them at dramatically low costs
among online communities distinguished by jurisdictions and languages.
By charging reading fees instead of translation fees, Jooyee's business
model reduces the cost to acquire the same information to less than 0.1%
of regular translation price."

NOTE 132 Enter another sleazy website in the translation world: LingoRate / lingorate.com
/ Ownership of the domain (created 09NOV2015) is not disclosed, and the
website shows no physical address or phone. Physical hosting is based in
Iceland.
Here's how LingoRate present itself: "LingoRate is the best place to rate translators you’ve worked with and to get the most trustable information and reviews of translators. Check what other customers said about the translators
you’re going to work with and make the most well-grounded choice possible. You can claim your profile that was created by your customers (1) and provide everyone with your contact details, picture and other
details that your potential customers would like to know. This is also
a great way to promote your services to translation agencies and potential customers."
(1) That's a lie: they just harvest data to create profiles as they please.
Or just create FAKE profiles.
As of 31AUG2016, they claim to have:
Translators: 12,407
Translation agencies & customers: 9,463
Reviews: 16,962
Recently (June 2016) initiated a campaign like this: "Your LingoRate profile is ready to promote your services!", which means they create profiles without previous authorization and without,
as they claim, the profile having been created by any "reviewer"!!!
They also announce the "Featured Translator": "The Featured Translator is set by our sophisticated reviewing system that calculates all your the reviews." Like, for instance, "Anthony Jones" (a clear "Italian"
medical translator, whose "Profile has been "verified" by
LingoRate" and only found in their website...) rated by ghosts "Brooke
Petersen" & "Chiara Bianchi". BTW, has "Anthony"
"claimed" his profile? NO! Best place to rate translators and
sophisticated system, indeed.
Let's retain these words: best place, most trustable, most well-grounded choice, great way to promote, and let's see what they have in the website:
A "Tim Keller" writes on Translators Café (joined 06JUN2016):
Bad review in Lingorate - should I worry? Who is "Tim Keller"? A ghost living in "Los Angeles, 123456 !!!, United States" and this phone: 9749217 !!!. "Tim" was rated by a "Andy Hagen": "Working with Tim 3 or 4 times already (...) Highly recommended!" But ONE month later: "Tim worked for us as a freelance translator a couple of times (...) both times Tim didn't meet our deadline" See? 3 or 4 times and then a couple of times! "Most trustable",
indeed.
This post on TC was also amplified on Twitter (all on 12JUN2016 and all
with the same useless link) by these FAKE accounts (all of them share the very same posts):
@Aingekan7 / Elizabeth Pacheco
@Atting1995 / Dennis Atting
@Nottles1981 / Grady Morgan
@Propen98 / Margaret Sheperd (male photo???)
@Utualloutulmm / Brittany Dillon
Great way to promote, indeed.
Who is rater "Andy Hagen"? A ghost who claims that "the results of the campaign were not very good. After proofreading
it was clear that the reason was poor translation quality, it was really
too literal." So, first they launch the campaign and only run the proofreading afterwards??? Well-grounded, indeed.
A "Lynn Driessen" writes on Translators Café: "I think all of us can use this lingorate to show the agencies how
good we are." "Lynn" claims to live in Amsterdam, 1012NX, Netherlands !!!
with this FAKE phone +3120764358. BTW, the profile on TC (created 13JUN2016) is empty.
A "Adele Hass" writes on Translators Café: "Do your job well, establish good relations with your customer – and
assessment sites like this lingorate would not be a problem for you." Who is "Adele"? Lives in Vienna, 1001, Austria !!! and has this
nice phone number: 385-112. BTW, the profile on TC (created 10JUN2016)
is also empty. Most trustable, indeed.
Another ghost called "Vlad" rated a real UK company named DailyTranslate
Ltd.: "Nice company to deal with, they translated my doc quickly for fair
price". Only, this is a verbatim copy of a Google review issued a year ago by somebody else. Most trustable reviews, indeed.
"our customer is more than satisfied." "Rating" line used verbatim by ghosts "Sophie Klein"
& "Marlisa Koenigsmann" / Yes Translations. Line "really recommend this translator" used verbatim by "Marlisa Koenigsmann" & "Dorothy Schneider".

NOTE 133 An unwary US client sends a into-Maltese job to a Rudena Rukita / [email protected]
. "Rudena" is a fake "Zulu translator", based in South Africa (UpWork profle) or in Belgium (Translators Cafe
profile, REMOVED). "Rudena" photo in UpWork (profile REMOVED)
has been copied from here. Not knowing a word of Maltese, Rudena creates another ghost "Alexander
Demago" and outsources the job to a real Maltese translator, whose
email with the translation bounces back from [email protected]
... Of course, the US client never heard anything about "Alexander".
Further investigation, and a kind collaboration from one of our most faithful

NOTE 143 The alarm went off on ProZ, when several translators reported having received
an email from a "Steve Hall" with this fantastic announcement:
"We have recently won a large project of 20.000.000 words which consists
of documents on various domains, including...". The posting "company" did have a website, but with no physical
address or phone number. Just a name: Trusted Spanish (contacts page with email and address have been removed). So, we went looking:
Registrant Name: Mohsen Khodadadi
Registrant Street: 708 - 35 Bales Avenue,
Registrant City: North York
Registrant State/Province: Ontario
Registrant Postal Code: M2N7L7
Registrant Country: CA
Registrant Phone: +1.9052429160
Registrant Email: [email protected]
So, who is this Mohsen (b. 26MAR1994)? On Facebook, he lives in Whitby,
Ontario. On LinkedIn, he's the "CEO at Trusted Language Solutions".
On Twitter @MKhodadadi94 is a "Studying Chemical Engineering at Ryerson
University". On TM-Town, he's called "trustedspanish" and is a "Spanish to English" translator. Not bad from a guy
who, until 2012, lived in Tehran, Iran...
And, he has been busy. On trustedspanish.com (CLOSED 04SEP2017) he stated: "70 Million Words Translated and 60 Thousand Jobs Completed". But that's nothing compared to "Trusted Language Solutions":
"870 Million Words Translated and 650 Thousand Jobs Completed" (from July 2017!!!). And all with a "99% Quality Rating" (whatever that means). Later, the "870 million words" were deleted,
and replaced by "We have 14,000+ linguists for these languages (which ones?) and (...)
we have a daily capacity of 1,000,000 words per day".
On Kickstarter, Mohsen also tried to raise CA$ 15,000 for "The Only Specialized, End-to-End Human Translation platform" with bullshit like this: "We're building the world's most awesome platform for ordering translations
online—join us in our journey!" Well, the journey was curt short: he got CA$ 21.00!
Recently, also from ProZ, our Mohsen shot other "20.000.000 words"
emails, this time from "Trusted Italian" and "Trusted Dutch".
So we went looking some more "trusted companies":

Under the cover of an IT company, it is used to hire translators for Wagner...
A Chinese translator reports "overdue invoices for 13,000 USD from
2018"
is not the normal CV scammer, but rather a well-known spammer, bottom feeder, non-payer and operator banned from
Proz. The registrant of domain wagner-international.com is, not surprisingly,
"Not Disclosed". This joint also operates other domains: vip-translator.com
(Facebook: WI Communication) / wagner-usa.com (DISABLED) / mew-international.com
(DISABLED) / wagner-con.de (DISABLED). And, believe it or not, they're members of GALA, ELIA and the ATA!

Wagner Consulting are the owners and operators of TranslatorPub.com .
On their website, the owner signs only "Wagner President Wagner Consulting
LLC". Real smart move to hide his true identity: Sascha Wagner aka
Alexander Sascha Wagner aka Sascha Moreno.
And, if they tell you something about "quality" and "ISO
17000", read this: "... a statement of conformity to the requirements of the international
norm issued by the translator on his own responsiblity. This is not a certification by an independent third-party"
On the website, they claim: "Headquarter: London - UK" &
"Location: New York, NY". On GALA website, they claim: "Wagner Consulting is a leading, reputed and a trusted translation
service company" and Better Business Bureau gives them a A+ rating (but, "with NO reviews for this business"). A Google search seems to prove otherwise:
One example.
Another example.
And yet another example.
On April 11, 2019, Mouhssine Ayouri contacted us from Morocco (IP: 196.217.127.211):
«You don't have the right to write my full name and information on your
site and damage my reputation Erase my name immediately Ayouri Mouhssine
/ US Sales / (718) 8389533» Reputation, you say? What reputation?
A UK company reports "they delivered just pure Google translation
work".
Showing a disgraceful mode of operation, several PMs even use our email
address to offer us jobs!
Some examples of their job offers:
project of about 1265 words. Rate 30 USD
QA project of about 13000 words. Rate 30 USD
Czech to English / Word Count: 2000 words / Offered Payment: 100$

NOTE 147 A Linda Jane, from Huntsville, Alabama, USA, she says, acts, since at
least 2015, as the "stateside" point of contact for unwary translation
clients, mainly those requesting Asian languages for Christian materials. She even has a website to show (but, of course, with no address and no
phone number): Teams of Translators / teams-of-translators.webnode.com
. The website shows very interesting characters.
Kishan Singh (from India). Photo used in the site belongs to to Gautam
Adani, one of richest men in India... The scammers didn't even changed
the photo filename... Linda has nice words about "Kishan": "Helping
Hands for Handicapped in Rajasthan, organized by our Brother Kishan Singh".
And about Napoleon Zaki, "we are support xxxx Ministry, run by our
Brother Napoleon Zaki"
Linda also has a "secretary" with a very funny name: Andrewson
Chris. Photo used in the site belongs to Chris Coyier, a web designer and
developer living in Milwaukee. Again, the scammers didn't even changed
the photo filename...
As for the payment, Linda stated to a US prospective client: "We will accept the bank wiring in Pakistan the most needed area for
now to build three orphanages and 5 widows houses." A Napolean Zaki, the "Final Beneficiary", will, no doubt, build
the "3 orphanages and the 5 widows houses"!

NOTE 149 X-Translations (domain created 20 AUG 2018; registration data kept private).
Not known for CV scamming practices, but everything in this "company"
as been designed to hide their ownership, location, names and legal status.
Who are their potential clients and translators dealing with?
Their luring email reads: "we used to work with in house linguists,
but due to the increasing work from our clients we need to extend our linguists
team and work with remote freelancer linguists". "We", who?
"In house", where? To make their operation believable, they've
also created a full array of profiles on social media and translators portals.
On their Facebook and website they claim "we are planning to be number
1 translation company in the next 5 years, that’s why we offer the highest
quality with the lowest price". Really?
Although their documents available on the website have been carefuly sanitized,
the "language" setting for the NDA (PDF) is "ar-EG"
(Arabic, Egypt ?). Other sources also confirmed that "they" are
located in Egypt, i.e., operating from just a website, with no traceability
whatsoever. As for the names related to this operation:
1. Harry Michael (profile on ProZ: 2604824) / Sales Manager / [email protected]
/ A fake name hiding behind a Polish background, including funny "degrees"
from the Lodz University of Technology. In Translators Café, his profile is "private"...
2. Mark Eliot (another fake name) / VM Manager / [email protected]
/ Ph: 93965461 !!!
And what about the "locations" and fake names shown on their
website (no Egypt?):

NOTE 152 Meet Amer Al-Azem, aka Amer Al Azem, aka Amer M. Al Azem, aka Amer Al-Azm, aka Lana Al Azem,
an obnoxious spammer and scammer from Palestine: one day he sells real
estate and coconut oil and the next he sells translation courses in the
Arab world. Here is some info about this clown:
His trick is to create Groups online, abusively add victims and spam them
with all sorts of B/S, like "Translation Agencies", a group on
Google which has been BANNED.
On his "Amer Al Azem Trade & Marketing Group" / ameralazem.group
, he claims "Amer is a man of principles and ethics" LOL
On this website, one reads "The Holding AAA Group is registered in
Sao Paulo"!!!
More info about the operation of this scammer here. Another of his practices is to spam translators and translation companies,
registering them as subscribers in his Google groups (we keep an extensive
list of such emails, that we can send to bona fide interested parties).
On the translation side, this clown claims to be:
Amer Al Azem is the founder & ex-president of World Arab Translators
Association www.wata.cc (WATA), translator, trainer, and author of three
books on Grammar and Legal Translation, and a business global marketer.
He is the Founder of Arab Trainers Union. He also contributed to the establishment
of translation societies in Egypt, Jordan, Yemen and Morocco. He is known
worldwide.
Owns commercial, professional and media networks covering a million companies
and people
Also claims to have written books like "The Translator in the First
Trench" and "What is new in the Grammar of English". The
only problem is that these books do not exist. Also makes another funny
promise: "Professional translator diploma soon with international
accreditation" and (are you ready?? "International Certificate
from an American-British-French foundation"...
On January 9, 2019, Amer gladly posted on his Facebook / Amer Al Azem International
/ A.AlAzemTrans a message from a a clear OVERPAYMENT SCAM. When a gullible
(and stupid) tanslator showed his interest "I am interested in the project which you posted", Amer, The Scumbag, responded "No agreement with the client so far".
On April 2022, Amer came up with some new crap: Nominations open to honor Missionaries to Glory for 2022: The Arab Translators
Association is pleased to announce the beginning of nominations for Outstanding
Knowledgeables, Translators, Linguists, Academics, Researchers, Presidents,
Rectors, CEO's, Teachers, Headmasters, Educators, Principals, Scholars,
Personalities, Writers, Thinkers, Activists, Creators, Journalists, and

NOTE 153 AB Translations / AB Translations SRL is a fake company set up by unidentified
scammers. All about this "company" is blatantly fake, and yet
there are reports of translators having fallen victims for this scam. Come
on, guys!
1. Domain was created on 26MAR2018. .cc (Cocos Islands) used for Iceland!
2. The website claims "founded in 2008 and headquartered in Reykjavik,
Iceland". Really?
3. Address Háaleitisbraut 68, 103 Reykjavík, Iceland is a restaurent or
a power company...
4. Phone number (+354) 515909. Really?
5. VAT (FAKE): IS006219
This scam is an impersonation of a Romanian company called AB LANGUAGE
SOLUTIONS SRL.
NAMES & EMAILS ASSOCIATED W/ THIS SCAM:

NOTE 154 The Translation Community keeps being plagued by shady and unscrupulous
operators. An Internet domain is anonymously created, a website with plagiarized
copy goes live, a profile is opened at Translator Portals using VPNs, a
fake street (or no address at all) is provided together with a phone number
(also fake), and a new scammer is in business. Here are some more examples:
--------------------
Beltic Solutions / belticsolutions.com (NOW CLOSED, MARCH 2019) is a FAKE company and notorious non-payer. Domain was created on 18DEC2017
and registration owner is UNKNOWN. Phone is FAKE: +420749855114 (UNKNOWN)
and so is the street address: Havlíckova 1227/4, 110 00 Nové Mesto, Tchéquie
(!!!).
They probably use a VPN to place them in Morocco. Data collected from jobs
posted on Translation Directory:
04JAN2018: Fiala Dvorák (IP: 41.141.63.248, Morocco)
10JAN2018: Fiaba (IP: 41.251.101.77, Morocco)
19DEC2017: Fiaba (IP: 105.157.211.132, Morocco)
Of course, copy in their website is just stolen: "‘Late’ is not a London Translations word." Yes, stolen from the website of "London Translations". They
also claim stuff like "We have more than 30 years experience (elsewhere in the website is
13...) and our ISO 9001:2008 certification reflects our commitment to high
quality translation." Really? And in June 2018, their blog entries (all with crappy copy) are
dated 26 October 2018 !!!

NOTE 155 Some scammer from Gaza (identified as nmc2016 & AL-FARIS & walaa
mahmoud in docs), calling himself Top Translators circulated the following
message from the address [email protected] (how nice!):

contact with my colleagues for all approved translation requests:

NOTE 156 Vanda Mark (FAKE NAME) / [email protected] is the typical scammer
busted by "her" own stupidity:
Vanda is hastily hired by a UK company and apparently delivers her translation.
From then on, she keeps insisting to get paid. However the company uses
a third-party translation platform that requires a positive proof of ID,
to which Vanda responds by sending a ridiculously doctored German ID Card / The original image can be found here. Asked for clarification, the scammer replies:
— I have said that by mistake. (sic)
And before, what did the scammer say about getting paid? This:
— I told you that I can not receive bank transfer and I will provide
you my friend bank account to pay to him. I send you my friend bank information
that but you do not pay until now. For Documents : You told me that you
must provide my documents and I put my Passport and Tax paper.
Yes, the "passport" is the doctored German ID Card... And then
came the old "pay my friend" trick again, because "I can
not receive bank transfer". Let's see who the "friend" is:
Account Holder’s Name: MICHIYO OOSTERWIJK (REAL TRANSLATOR WITH PROFILES ONLINE. IS SHE IN THE SCAM?)
Account Number: 2698441
Swift Code: MHCBJPJT
Bank Name: Mizuho Bank LTD.
Branch: Yokohama Ekimae Branch
Bank Address: 1-2-1 Kitaswaiwai Nishi-ku Yakohama Kanagawaa
Country: Japan
And, finally, as a true scammer, Vanda PULLS the threat trick:
— You must pay me for the job I have done for you. If I did not get
my payment, I will put your name in all sites in the Internet that you
have stolen my money.
And now, for the fun part. How do we know all this? Because "Vanda"
in her own stupidity sent her "threat" to someone who happily
forwarded to us the whole thread of messages between her and the UK company.
Stupid scammer! |

NOTE 157 Usako International / usakointernational.site.live / usako.net (free email
server) is a Turkish scamming gang hiding behind fake websites with no
registration data to stiff translators with a cryptocurrency mining scam.
They operate a website in which they claim: Usako international is a Turkey based company which deals many cryptocurrencies
and also translation. We try at all possible best to always keep our customer
comfortable with our services. We produce better services to all our clients
around the world.
Address (copied online): Cankaya CD. No:14 Ankara Turkey / Tel: +908503902273
Their "team" and testimonials all use FAKE names and the photos were farmed from websites online:
Eden Raul / CEO and Founder
Attila Maggie / CFO and Head of Sales
Mattias Pacas / CTO and Lead Developer
Jake Stillwater / CMO and Head of Design
Ali Muhammed / Human resources departmental Head
Miss Shazia Rosella / Financial secretary and accountant
FAKE testimonials by (all FAKE names): Alicia Becky / Levites Patrick /
Zaki Shazia
Then, after they receive the translations from their victims, they claim
not being able to pay through normal channels because of "problems with Paypal in Turkey at the moment", requiring their victims to download an app called Green Pay Gobal integrator from Google Play. According to some reports, the app cost around
$400.00.
The website for Green Pay Global / greenpayglobal.site.live is just another
joke: the email is [email protected] (!!!), the address is 1 Website Lane,
Suite 1000 Boston, MA 11111 (!!!) and the phone is +1 123 456 7890 (!!!).
FAKE testimonials by (all FAKE names): Mark, , Samantha, Zoey (photos were
just copied online). Trustful, indeed...

NOTE 160 On November 23, 2020, a Turkish translator reported on ProZ:
"Fake company “Free Works” finds you from freelancer platforms, says
that recruits translators, makes a test and give you some work, but says
that it will be paid only over pay-secured again fake payment platform,
Pay Secured due to restrictions in Belarus. You work for a week and earn
2500 $, however, in order to receive your payment you need to upgrade your
wallet on Pay-secured and this is 100 $. If you think I can pay 100$ to
take the 2500$ you are mistaken and also you provide your credit card information,
which may cause you a bigger loss. When you refuse to pay this amount and
ask for other payment methods, they don’t contact you again and disappear."
So, we went on looking, and we found some interesting stuff:

NOTE 161 Wutsun Herb / WUTSUN HERB Laboratory / WUTSUN HERB Company Limited (UK)

Agary Pharmaceutical Limited (Nigeria) and other sources.
Address: 95 Cranleigh Road, Bournemouth, BH6 5JX (copied online, a residential
house). NO PHONE IS PROVIDED.
The scam explained:
We currently have a huge project at hand, hence we are seeking for narrators
from English to different languages to work with as we want our scripts
to be narrated in as many languages as possible. We pay our narrators 500USD
per finished hour for a script. To qualify for the offer you'd have to
pass the online audition where you'd be given a 1 minute script to narrate.
Then they send the victims a Contract Letter to say they have sent all
of the (extremely expensive) equipment listed in the Contract Letter and
the monstrous amount of money, so then they can say the victim should send
it back (for any reason they would probably think of).
