Hello,

"Patrick Victoria" allegedly from MOTIONRECRUTIMENT, offering a translation job of ca 100 pages (not willing to share subject etc.), presents a telegram link for contact.

Ongoing scam under different names and "vendors".

I’ve received several times exactly the same text allegedly from different people. Lately, I've been targeted by “Australian publishers” who are interested in my services but don't know how to write their own email addresses....

I got the same job offer from MOTIONRECRUITMENT Dec 14

Yesterday the same Lavoie Gus sent me the same e-mail. I suspected because of the rate he said they would pay : 2.500 euros. Thank God I decided to check his name! And thank you all for sharing this scam. Dilma Machado
