Now it seems that Steve is targeting Polish translators. Again, as many of you I googled Padena Translation, as I was surprised by the fact that there was no link to their website, and the only info of the alleged 'agency' was here.
Thanks guys

In memoriam | Weakness of Blue Board system. | Apr 29, 2010 |
I think anyone who has had unpleasant experiences with an agency should be able to post a Blue Board reference about them, whether they have actually worked for them or not.
I received this email too, and couldn't find them on the Blue Board (or similar system of another translator site). But I am suspicious of anyone stipulating purchase of software as a condition, and decided for that reason not to take it any further. I had not seen this thread before (or had forgotten it).
