Dear Valued Community,
Recently I was contacted by scammers from an unknown country with this email:

Recently I was contacted by scammers from an unknown country with this email:
-------------------
Hello Sir//
Greetings
From gyldendal publishers
A publishing team from translation directory
https://www.gyldendal.dk/
Our team is looking forward to working with reliable and proficient, Ukraine translators who will be able to translate texts in pdf from one language to another. The ideal candidate should have an experience with translation, be fluent in at least two languages, and have good writing skills.
_______________
But the only I didn't mention from the start is that their email address
Gyldental Pub
does not have any relation to the Danish publishing house, moreover these scammers simply undermine publishing house's authority.
After you done with the job that (as they say) will be paid like 5 times higher than your regular assignments, they offer to contact their CASHIER via Telegram! (how on Earth someone can receive payments via Telegram cashier if your are not a drug lord or people trafficker?)
The "cashier" sends you the message with fishing site link:
--------
We send payment in (USD)
Due to currency conversion and discrepancies.
kindly register your account and fill in with your accurate details.
So I could process your payment via E- bank transfer, thank you for your favourable response!

_________
The website was registered this year and has neither reviews, ratings, nor feedbacks.
So I am 99% sure after you put your credit card details (including mobile number!) you will simply loose all of the money there. 💰
Beware of Fraud and Good Luck! ▲ Collapse

The project is a 55 page document with approximately 11, 305 in words count, that our team needed reliable and proficient freelance translators to help translate from English to spanish with a budget of $1920 as a fixed price.
Due to the complexity of the subject/texts and the vague nature of the patterns and designs of the document. The deadline is within 6 working days. We pay via PayPal, E-bank transfer, wallets
Our payment terms are as follows we pay the full amount upon completion of the translation work, after our team has reviewed and confirmed the submitted texts.

I got the same mail from "[email protected]". They offered great price for the task. But after completing half the task, when I sent a mail for deadline extension, the mail got bounced back. And when I searched about the team, I found this post with similar experience. It seems to be scam.
