| New Scammer Name: Amanda Hasselman | May 19, 2023 |
The same scammer (I assume) is on the prowl again, this time under the guise of one Amanda Hasselman. Another gmail account (amandahasselman34), same inquiry, same project docx file, same agricultural text.
Yep, I have an Amanda Hasselman in my inbox too—extremely hesitant to give me details about what the final translation will be used for. (This is another red flag: Why is a private person without university or institutional affiliation looking to have a large report translated, but unwilling to say what the translation is for?)
Thank you Yannick for posting!

| Same scam new name | Jun 22, 2023 |
I just received an email recently from Amanda Hasselman as well ([email protected]). Based on the last two posts in this thread, sounds like it's a scam (which I thought right from the beginning anyways.) This was an agricultural text as well. It's unfortunate how people try to scam us freelancers.
Have a good rest of the week everyone,

Hello all,
I am so glad I did the research before sending any details... This scammer is still at it and just contacted me under the name Marina O'Toole. They accepted my quote and offered to pay 50% upfront and 50% afterwards.
Same text on Agricultural Reforms. Same email format. They didn't offer any details when I asked for more information.
Please be aware! I will be reporting this. I am bummed that I won't be getting the money I thought I'd be gettin... See more Hello all,

They reached out to me a few days ago. Same document, same wording.
They are using the name Marina O'Toole again (see January this year).
According to my research, Marina O'Toole is a translator here on proz, as well as Yohan Cernik, the author of the document.
So, be careful, they are using the names of actual translators here on this platform!!!

I received a job proposal from Giovanni Bruno (Quest Query - questquerynet.com), He proposed a job of 200 pages but in the end, I should have to pay a certain amount to receive the money. Be aware! They are scammers!
I suppose they give different names and create different fake sites to deceive people.

My dear friend, things are just as you say it is even worse.
I have to tell you that it was the first time he fell into such a big con man and I was wrong, from the shock I got I forgot, it wasn't 91 pages, it was 190 pages! In fact, he had told me that in order to get a part of advance payment as I should normally get and I asked for it so that I could start translating, from the final amount of £5600 he had told me,.. where everyone is trying to reduce prices and he was always raising it! [in the meantime I had already figured out that he is a con man! Because we have one of our wise Greek proverbs that says "Wherever you hear a lot of cherries, keep a small basket!"], it finally tells me that I must finish in 4 days 30% of the text, ie 57 pages, and in the end the repayment of the amount. And he sends me the following form, which was composed just like being made by... my grandmother, as... proof of a Purchase Order! And in which it is not even mentioned that he wanted a translation from... English to French! Well, they think we're as stupid as you can imagine! I cite the so-called book-study for translation as well as the so-called Purchase Order that he told me and waited for it to be believed by me! Yours sincerely, wishing you all the best.
We should all watch our every step, that's all I'm saying.

I attach the two files, the alleged study for translation of 190 pages, but also the pseudo-Purchase Order, but they couldn't be possibly uploaded in here so easily, and we all know why, I will try again in another way. Thank you.
Finally, I copied and pasted right here and now the purported as P.O. for you to check it out and tell me if I am so wrong or not at all indeed...]
