I received a similar email Feb 10

I received a similar email this morning. I immediately suspected something wasn't right, especially since:
1. the email address the message is from is EMOND PUBLISHERS [email protected] (note the difference between the company's name -- with one M -- and the email address -- two Ms)
2. it's not addressed to me per se but rather to a (hidden) group of addresses, it seems

3. the company's name is given first as EMOND PUBLISHERS then as EMOND PUBLISHING PRESS
4. there are several misspellings throughout the message

The URL given for the company https://emond.ca/ and the name of the sender, Natalie Berchem, do appear to be legit, according to what I could find on LinkedIn.

Please take care and don't fall for scams!

The same email address, the same contact person's name, even the same rate.
And the file to be translated was attached to the first email, without any request of signing something like an NDA.

This is strange... Feb 20

I have received a job notification from that same company via Proz.
Here it is:
https://www.proz.com/job/2150570
If they are those scammers, this job post needs to be deleted and the company banned.

Job no longer exists Feb 21

I was going to submit a support request to the staff early in the morning, but the job no longer exists.
It seems they have solved it.
Thanks!

Wow, scammers are getting bolder, not just using TM-Town as their hunting field shamelessly, but now also posting jobs in here.
Perhaps they are taking advantage of the site endless update and the frequent bugs/glitch since last year.

We must be careful, sadly isn't a safe-place anymore.

There is also information about this scam on LinkedIn Feb 24

On Natalie's page there is this information:

***IMPORTANT INFO RE TRANSLATIONS***

There is currently an email going around saying I am looking for translators on behalf of Emond Publishing. This is a scam. Please disregard these emails.

And this is why I left Proz.com 18:40

Not being responsible for running a site where scammers fool paying professionals was what I needed to stop paying an annual subscription. As if 90%+ bottom feeders and "agencies" from China, the Middle-East, and what have you with their price over quality motto weren't bad already.

No thanks, I'll keep doing my thing out of here.
