Hello

I received the email address to be [email protected]. She told me about the project around 10000 words need to finish one day, I doubted this PM, the Deadline too urgently.

Hello

I received the email address to be [email protected]. She told me about the project around 10000 words need to finish one day, It will be divided 2 part to translate. She didn't send me her PO and Link website to be fake. I am writing this message to be a warning this scammer.


Hullo Nara,

The web address looks odd, the job request looks unbusinesslike. You rightly checked the website, it seems. You would naturally expect a PO, and the usual professionally identifying details.

I hope you weren't deceived by this scammer. It was thoughtful of you to issue this warning.

With kind regards,

Adam Warren
