Jean Poulmarc'h , j'ai été moi aussi contactée il y a une quinzaine de jours par cette même personne Roaselind Baines. Comment vous avez pu vous en sortir? J'ai peur qu'elle réussisse son coup avec les infos qu'elle a de mon compte bancaire . Merci d'avance!
| | | | | Same for me, I have given my bank details | Sep 2, 2019 |
On August 20th I was contacted through Proz by someone (not a Proz user according to the email) impersonating real sworn translator Gülnihal Zora Teke to translate a 15000 words untitled research project on agriculture reforms in EU. Contact offered 50% of payment to get me started and 50% on delivery.

Nothing happened for a week, and I also sent queries on the document - it appeared jumbled up and incoherent in places - which remained unanswered.
I am a bit worried about what could happen with my bank details. I have raised the question with my bank, they seems to say that all is safe, they offered to issue a new debit card just to be on the safe side (although I never gave my card details)
Looking back, the name used by this scammer certainly made me lower my guard and as a result I didn't push my checks far enough. Lesson learnt! ▲ Collapse

I received the exact same request and I have been working on the document for a while now. I did check who it was before sending my bank details, as well as checking with my bank if they could do anything with it. But they said it was safe, all they could do with my BIC and IBAN was put money in. This person has stopped replying to my emails now... I have wasted so much time on this! Be careful people!

Hello,
The exact same scam mentioned by Emilie and Vanina also happened to me.
I was wondering if any of you has contacted the real Gülnihal to let them know that someone is using their identity?
Also, is there anywhere on ProZ (other than this thread) where we can raise these issues?

I simply don't understand this scammer's motivations, as I don't believe they can do anything with my bank details other than putting money in (which would be nice since I have done the job), as others pointed out. I am not sure what to do next, I have wasted many hours on this translation so it is quite upsetting. I've never had this problem before. Any advice welcome! Thank you. ▲ Collapse

My advice is you read this thread or virtually ANY thread in this forum since most of them deal with this type of scam.

So I received an email about translating 'a document' first. After i asked what the document is and what the deadline would be, they sent me the 39-page document 'Research project on agricultural reforms in EU'. I agreed to do it and gave a quote, they quickly agreed to everything and asked for my bank info:
'If this works for you then kindly get back to me with the details below so that payment can be facilitated asap.

Bank name

Routing number

So I guess they have tons of fake addresses they send these emails from. The IP address was from Sydney, Australia.
I'm so happy I searched here first. I had a feeling something was off, since they agreed so quickly and asked for no credentials from me, also didn't give me any info on their 'agency'.
Stay safe, everybody! ▲ Collapse

| Happened to me as well. | Sep 10, 2019 |
Not only did I complete the whole translation and give my bank details, but I spend my last two weeks in New Zealand working on it and cancelled some of my plans.
Please kill me now.
What could I do about the bank details things ?
Thank you very much and sorry for all of you who wasted time on it as well.

If the scammer went via ProZ or referred to ProZ, then I think this is the standard procedure. I understand there is a section of Proz that deals with scams, and this should be investigated. I wish you luck and clairvoyance in eluding the scammers.

I fell for this scam too and sent my banking information to them and of course spent hours on the agricultural document.
I was just reassured by the name because Sara Ouaguenouni is easy to find on the net and she’s a reputable translator.
But I noticed that one lettre was missing in the name from the email and I though who would misspell their name in an email address and keep it like that?...

Like all of you I am worried about my banking info. Obviously if they keep scamming people that way, it must be for a reason. I’ve been hacked before and had to close all my bank accounts and open new ones.
Some of you were hacked months ago, did anything happened to your bank account since then?
Thank you kindly,

Hi!
I received the same scam, from an IP in Perth, Australia.
Same document, 'Research project on agricultural reforms in EU'.
This time, the translation requested was to Catalan.
Has it been targeting translators in Canada?
Stay safe!

I have also received an email from Rosenov Zlatilov and a document on agriculture, asking for a Dutch translation.
I was about to confirm just now, but I'm happy I checked it first here..
Can't believe that this happens!

Yep, me too! Same research report on agriculture, promissed 50% in advance. Oh God, don't I feel stupid. It felt too good to be true, but still I gave him my banking data, only realizing afterwards that I didn't know anything about him.
