I just received an email from them but the sender is Tina Rosie. Probably they knew their small trick was discovered and they changed to another identity.

BEWARE OF THESE SCAMMERS (continuation...end of the story) Aug 30, 2020

Hi everyone,

I hope to post correctly since I always read you but don't write a lot.
I have received this invitation from a translation agency, but my gut feeling is that there is something not clear in it...I cannot find them here on the BB, they don't show any VAT registration number on their website (which is, by the way, very vague) and the request itself does not convince me...the agreement they attached is a mere copy of the email. Maybe I am too suspicious, but I preferred to politely decline the offer for the time being.
What do you think?
Thanks for your replies

Elena


"Dear translator,

I am manal Abdulrahman from magic-trans.net Center for Translation; I work as a mediator Between clients & translators.

I assure that you would be very lucky if you agree to cooperate with us as a translator and I will be as a mediator. So It's a pleasure to invite you to be a close member of our team.

Therefore, Can you give us permission, authorization, and agreement in order to send your CV to our clients?
If yes, we will remove your contact details to avoid any direct contacts with our clients. If you agree, you will be considered as a close team member and consequently, you will be eligible for any updated plan.
This is part of group work based on mutual cooperation because the translation market is full of competition.
Please let me have your opinion for long-term cooperation between us. If you agree, sign this authorization and agreement document Attachment, and send it signed with your CV and
a cover letter.
Thank you for your time.
looking forward to having a long-term cooperation between us.

Why is a scammer advertising an atrocious rate of 2.something cents per word?

Maybe this one is the real Layal Ros.

Receiving same email address Jun 10, 2021

Hi

I got the same email as you meantioned, If this email [email protected] is a scammer, Why BB No comments?

I hope you’re having a good week!

We have another file for translation if you’re available? It’s very short again, from a video of under one minute. I’ve attached it so if you can go ahead, do let me know. We need it back sometime tomorrow morning/afternoon…
