Church as a paying customer? Nov 29, 2024

Maybe, if your last name is Santi or Da Vinci. Or you are a construction or utility company.

Similar case for the language pair English-Tagalog Dec 8, 2024

I received an email from a guy named Stephen Walker. He has a Proz.com Profile: http://www.proz.com/profile/3068342
He contacted me via Proz.com. His email account information is Stephen Walker .

Basically he was offering me an opportunity to work on a project with details below:

He contacted me via Proz.com. His email account information is Stephen Walker .

Basically he was offering me an opportunity to work on a project with details below:

"it's my pleasure to refer to some details of the project for you:
- language: English to Tagalog.
- Volume: book(containing many articles) more than 2500,000 words and the volume is still increasing
- Volume: 20-30 movie scripts per month and each script has a different length from 15 mins to 50 mins.
- Deadline: flexible, depends upon the volume of the tasks, schedule, and capacity of the translators
- Both full-time and part-time work is totally fine.
- Rate: negotiable.
- Payment methods: Paypal, or Wire transfer"

Then, an alleged "co-worker" of Mr. Walker, named "Zoe" contacted me via email, claiming to be from the "Good Canaan Land Church based in US", wanting to see if I am willing for a free translation test.

I have not yet replied the latest email in order to take the test. I am not sure if this is legit since it involve a big volume of work. Good thing I came across this forum discussing the same concern.

I would greatly appreciate if anybody can share their insight on this. Thank you very much.

This is the exact thing that happened to me and I am currently doing a test from them. When I asked if they agreed to my rates, "Zoe" said that it would be discussed after the test. Now I don't know if I should continue.
