It happened to me Nov 1, 2019

I just received an email from this guy, English to Spanish.

It caught my attention because he was not part of any of the agencies I signed with or my clients.
He sent a Trados package and a excel telling amount of words, packages, tasks, etc.
Here is the text from the email.

Hello,

There is a new job to be translated from English to Spanish. Pls find project package and analysis attached.

Hello,

There is a new job to be translated from English to Spanish. Pls find project package and analysis attached.
Do not change any tag and the file name .
If you have any query, pls write it down on the query.

PLS run xbench before delivering it. Pay more attention to the following;

if you have any question, pls feel free let me know.



I responded confirming availability prior to reading this post, and as I am writing it he asked for my rate. I guess I will just ignore him.

EDIT: I added an image of the Trados package:

Thanks a lot,
please be aware that the IP address is the same as other similar scams: IP 209.85.220.41 - California. They create domains with a letter missing or other ommissions, this time it is: wawasandsetinynow.com. When asked about their public profile, they indicate the Proz profile.

This time it is a Trados package with a translation for Caterpillar, from English to French.

Dear colleagues!

Thank you for bringing up this and truly appreciate as same idiot just emailed us and asked for proofreading job into FR. Thanks to you we did not accept and send him back and also I black listed him. Meanwhile, I would like to post for another scammer (as usual from Nigeria) who scammed us 2 weeks ago and I would appreciate if you could give us some information where we can inform everybody about this.

Thanks and always thankful for sharing!

I translated for this guy and he disappeared.

I translated a legal agreement for him and the names of the clients are in the contract.
I contacted them and waiting for their reply.

Does the name of the client apprar in the translation you did.
We can contact them and ask them to contact this person in order to pay us

yes, because the translated file was power of attorney for oil company
I sent message to the company but no reply, probably the company does not want to get involved in such problems
