Hi,

Does anybody has ever worked with this company? I received their project via ProZ notification but there is no LWA on Blue Board, also they are using Gmail account which is [email protected] for contact method. The project is a huge one, so I think it's better for me to confirm beforehand. Thank you.

Potential fraud May 28, 2020

A quick Google check indicates a company called "Global Translation Equipment", which apparently supplies equipment for interpreters. However they do not provide en e-mail address on the web page which is a subset of a marketing company. No serious contact details such as telephone number are provided. Exercise caution!

Thanks May 28, 2020

Thank you, Kevin. I find it suspicious too, without signing NDA, PO, they just directly ask me to do the translation. Guess I did the right thing to ask here first.

Their English is rickety in a number of instances May 28, 2020

So their claim to apply a "rigid" [sic] quality policy rings somewhat hollow. I would steer clear of them, Vicky. And I hope sounder opportunities come your way soon. Keep well, and in good heart.

Thanks IanDhu May 28, 2020

Thank you for the insight, IanDhu. They did not reply to my email anymore since I confront them. I always believed there will be another opportunity for me. May God richly bless us all. Stay safe.
