Freemail addresses always suspicious in business Jan 28, 2020

First of all, you should Report this to the Blueboard and/or the Proz.com Support, and secondly, if someone Claims they are a Company but are using a freemail address, that rings all the Alarm bells in the world for me.

Accurate name Jan 28, 2020

"Words Cloud" is an apt name for a company that can either shroud itself in mystery, or vanish into thin air.

I just went to the Blue Board, typed the name, and up came the warning that it had been reported as a fraudulent company on 10 February 2016.
