Translation Scam

Jobs, Translating/Interpreting Comments Off on Translation Scam

The below posting was from Craigslist Cincinnati, yet it has no connection to Cincinnati.  Odds are it’s a variation of a common scam.  The London connection and the writing style are clues, plus I’ve seen scams with similar feels in other contexts.   Just something to be aware of since the same listing may likely pop up at some point in connection with a Japanese translation gig.
