Only FAKE translators email their CV... Thread poster: Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT

Dear colleagues and nevertheless friends,
On a daily basis, our little translation office receives roughly a dozen of fake CVs. I see that virtually no legitimate translator sends their CV by email anymore. It is all scammers! Here an example:
For those who did not have a clue that this is happening or who might have their CVs and names stolen by scammers, please pay a visit to http://www.translator-scammers.com!
For any CV you get, you can easily check whether an email address is fake here: http://www.translator-scammers.com/translator-scammers-emails.htm
Let's stop this!

| CV not even needed | Jul 30, 2023 |
This email is so ridiculous and badly written that it isn't even necessary to consider the presence of a CV. I don't think any agency worth its salt would be fooled by this dog's breakfast of an email. They'd quickly find out anyway.

Needless to say that I haven’t advertised any position…

And…only fake agencies request CVs. Or perhaps the agency is legitimate, but their project is fake, nonexistent and „potential“ (same as nonexistent).

Unfortunately (for the sender) the entire mail with all attachments goes straight to "File 13" from where it is being deleted as soon as I have a spare moment. And it bears no importance whether is is fake or real. ▲ Collapse

With all due respect, whoever is managing this website, he is an idiot.
