Hi everyone,
doing work and not receiving a payment or chasing your payment can be frustrating. But as a community we should be trying to share experiences, good and bad.
We therefore launched TPR - The Work Experience Memory
http://translatorpub.com/sections/misc/rate_outsourcer.asp
Please use some time to share your experience with past and ongoing outsourcers, good or bad. Please note, there are some rules to submit your entry. Please read them prior to posting your experience.
Should you be unsure of anything, feel free to contact site staff. We hope this new feature is very valuable for all of you! |

| Unfortunately I had a bad experience with Karma Translations. They posted a translation request here on TranslatorPub and I offered them my translation services. Once the translation was ready, they never replied to my emails. I keep chasing them for the payment but they continue ignoring my emails. I tried looking them up on the internet but it seems that the company doesn't even exist. Beware, as they are still posting translation requests on TranslatorPub! THEY WILL NOT PAY YOU! |

Spam Warning for TranslatorPub Members
Dear Members,
We would like to issue an important warning regarding potential spam and fraudulent emails targeting our members. It has come to our attention that certain individuals, such as the sender "Eddie Rodriguez" using the email work.eddierodriguez0@gmail.com, have been contacting our community members with dubious job offers.
Characteristics of these emails:
They claim to have found your profile on TranslatorPub.com.
Offer translation jobs with high rates (e.g., $125 per page).
Provide links to suspicious websites or messaging platforms like Telegram or WhatsApp for further contact.
Mention "ALL LANGUAGES AVAILABLE," which is unrealistic for legitimate job offers.
What to Do:
Avoid clicking on any links provided in these emails.
Do not share personal or financial information with unknown senders.
Forward suspicious emails to us immediately so we can investigate and block the sender if necessary.
We are committed to protecting our members and keeping TranslatorPub a safe and trustworthy platform. If you encounter any emails or messages that seem suspicious, please forward them to us at info@translatorpub.com or report them through our Support Center.
Your safety is our priority. Let’s work together to keep our community secure.
Warm regards,
The TranslatorPub Team
Guide: How to Avoid Scammers and Spammers on TranslatorPub.com
At TranslatorPub.com, we are committed to creating a safe and professional platform for our members. Unfortunately, scammers and spammers occasionally target online communities. By following this guide, you can protect yourself from fraudulent activities and ensure a secure experience on our platform.
1. Be Cautious of Unsolicited Messages
If you receive unsolicited emails or messages claiming to offer jobs or services, verify the sender's identity.
Legitimate offers are typically detailed, professional, and use official email addresses, not free email services (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo).
2. Analyze the Offer
Too Good to Be True? Be wary of job offers with unrealistically high rates (e.g., $125 per page).
Generic Language Pairs: Scammers often claim to offer "ALL LANGUAGES AVAILABLE," which is not standard practice for professional agencies.
Lack of Details: Legitimate clients provide clear project details, including deadlines, scope, and deliverables.
3. Avoid External Links
Do not click on links directing you to messaging platforms (e.g., Telegram, WhatsApp) or suspicious websites.
Only communicate through verified contact methods provided by TranslatorPub or the client’s official website.
4. Verify the Sender
Check the email address domain. Professional companies use official domains (e.g., @company.com), not personal email services like Gmail.
Look for grammatical errors or unprofessional language in the email. These are red flags for scams.
5. Never Share Personal Information
Do not provide sensitive information like your ID, bank account details, or personal phone number unless you are certain of the client's authenticity.
6. Confirm the Client’s Legitimacy
Research the client online. Legitimate companies have a professional online presence, including a website and verified contact information.
Contact TranslatorPub Support if you are unsure about a client’s authenticity.
7. Report Suspicious Activity
If you suspect a scam, forward the email or message to our Support Center.
Include details such as the sender's email address, the content of the message, and any links provided.
8. Use TranslatorPub Securely
Respond to job offers directly through TranslatorPub whenever possible.
Regularly update your profile and keep your information visible only to trusted clients.
9. Educate Yourself
Stay informed about common scam techniques. Scammers often impersonate reputable companies or promise unrealistic rewards to lure victims.
10. Key Indicators of Scams
The sender claims to have found you on TranslatorPub but uses vague or non-specific details about your profile.
They request upfront payments for tools or access to projects.
They insist on immediate responses or payment through untraceable methods (e.g., cryptocurrency, gift cards).
11. Maintain Professionalism
Always use a professional tone in your communication to establish credibility and set clear expectations with potential clients. |

I did not reply.
Thanks for posting this warning.
