| They don't want your money | Oct 2, 2019 |

What I mean, we are not exactly the best paid profession in the world. If I were a scammer, I wouldn't put all my efforts in scamming translators, but would go for something more 'substantial', so 'real money' in stead of 'peanuts'.
I don't get it, hence my question.

they only want to use your bank account.
The way the "overpayment" scam works they only need you to help them to make vanish into thin air (and then into their pockets) some faked / stolen / illegal money of theirs so it doesn't matter what they could take from you.

Was in contact with this scammer since this weekend. He accepted my rates last night and wanted me to send my bank details. Fortunately I was smart enough to search on this forum (and on Google) first, before sending him any of my details (or getting to work on that document about 'agricultural reforms').
To answer the questions people ask in this forum thread: The reason they want your bank details is because they will transfer a much larger amount of money than agreed to your account. The money will actually be there in your account for a few days, but will then be removed again because the funds were transferred using a fraudulent cheque. In the mean time the scammer will try to convince you to transfer the difference (between the amount you agreed on and what was actually transferred) back to them (in whatever way). Many people will agree to do that because they see the funds in their account and assume that this was a legitimate error. Unfortunately it is not.. ▲ Collapse

The pirates! I'll be damned. I've gone back through my banking history, though, and there's been nothing untoward on there. The main thing I looked for was if they were asking for anything that would allow them to clear my account, like my PIN number, but there wasn't.

| Gülnihal ZORA TEKE is back! | Dec 2, 2019 |
Gülnihal ZORA TEKE has finally replied after a long silence. Is there any way I can report on this person for scamming? I'm not sure why they are coming back to me now, maybe they are missing some information to be able to access my account and scam further?

My first concern was the purchaser NEVER returned my invoice signed. He continued to tell me to be on the lookout for his deposit, but ignored my reminders to return the signed invoice
My second concern was when I started to read through his essays, they were filled with incomplete sentences and grammatical errors.
My third concern was he consistently misquoted the agreed upon deposit amount, and it seemed intentional.
Of course, my final concern was him ... See more My first concern was the purchaser NEVER returned my invoice signed. He continued to tell me to be on the lookout for his deposit, but ignored my reminders to return the signed invoice

That's when I decided to hop on here and search for proz scam threads. Thank you so much to whomever started this thread. You just saved me a lot of translation work and headache!

Sender Email: [email protected]
"Hello Kenny,
Good morning, hope your weekend went as planned? Like i said in my previous email, the payment has been made with an error and you will have over $10,000 in your account before the end of the week. The money was to be sent to the planner while the planner got the $1,050 advance payment for the translation. Please i have not been happy or able to sleep since this happen but i said to myself on the other hand you are a good person and we will definitely work this out. I am a good person and have always live my life with the golden principle of treating others as i will love to be treated. So kindly let me know as soon as you have the funds available in your account and we can sort it all out.
Thanks and Regards from Charles" ▲ Collapse
