Heather Carlson Scam | Oct 15, 2020 |
I received the same document from the so-called Heather Carlson ([email protected]) to be translated to French. She sent me a 50% down payment check from Eastern Health, NL through Purolator and was asking me to return some amount because she sent too much. Everything looked legit until I asked her for her full address. She then didn’t get back to me, and I decided to contact Eastern Health and they said they don’t know such a person in their organ...

I think she felt exposed and opted out but I have known this too late because she somehow played with my mind! ▲ Collapse | | |
Also scammed by "HEATHER CARLSON" | Oct 30, 2020 |
Hi - I have also been scammed by the so called Heather Carlson for the Agricultural project translation. They sent way too much money, and requested an immediate refund through e-transfer. I refused. Two days later, the cheque bounced with the mention "Counterfeit item". | | |

She sent me an article entitled "Research project on Agricultural reforms in EU" with 15,554 words. She agreed to my price and gave me 4 weeks. She said I will receive a certified cheque for 1/2 the amount by Tuesday and the remainder on completion. I thought t was too fishy... Stay alert, everyone! ▲ Collapse | | |

[Edited at 2020-12-08 23:16 GMT] I got the same for English to Japanese translation. I'm a pessimist by nature and I guess this time saved me from the scammer! Be safe my fellow translators! | |

Same, just now from Tom Lee for translating from English to Swedish. Deleted. Sad cause I'm actually very interested in this topic.. Not that I would, but I will never understand though why it is such a big deal to give someone your "bank details" (I presume this means routing (US) or SWIFT (EU) plus account number). These "details" are on every check you write and on every invoice you send out and are not enough for anyone to withdraw or move money on your behalf...? Am I missing s...

Etude agricole scam still circulating | Feb 24, 2021 |

See more Got an email from Mary Nelson ([email protected]) "Hello, I would like to know if you are available to translate a document from French to English? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you." No signature. I asked some follow up q's and she replies that she is "also a freelance translator" and she "works with difference [sic] companies and schools." She was super vague as to what the document will be used for saying it will be used by "University students and not to be published" and then she lists her number (657 area code) and address (Largo Florida). In one email she attached the file to be translated and the file name was just "French doc" which was a red flag to me, also the non-professional email address. The doc was called "Étude agricole pour étudiant en Europe". Hope this helps others! ▲ Collapse | | |
I was sent the same "Agricultural Restructuring in EU" document to translate into Polish. The new name of the scammer is Miriam Ortize / [email protected] / IP address: 37.19.198.7. She emailed me the document, asked for my check and bank info, didn't address my questions, and gave me a suspicious address in LA, California. Be careful! | | |
