Definitely unreliable, and read why.. Oct 5, 2016

Hi everybody,

We've tried to work with Nedaa Sameh from this company (I googled him, hadn't found anything in July, and took a risk)..
That was quite an expensive lesson for me.. Over 3500 USD total.
I even managed to find the person who ordered those translations from him (and they should be preparing a lawsuite now for 1) violating NDA, 2) signing of NDA using other person's name and CV..)

For now, the only thing that I managed to complete is to send information about them to all Translationdirectory.com linguists (that appeared to be nothing serious for them, as I tried to use this to persuade them paying..) Even using all the evidence.

The company is a non-payer Apr 11, 2017

Tried to work with Nedaa Sameh from this company. The result is -80 USD and two month of bla-bla-bla when I was promised to be paid tomorrow. But tomorrow didn't come. Fortunately I didn't accept a bigger project. The manager is totally inadequate. The first thing was that I did spend 5 hours trying to get PO from him. PO was confirmed and never paid. So don't repeat my mistakes and don't accept project from them.

Update on this company Mar 24, 2018

Hi guys,

I am glad I found this thread to help me make my mind about a job offer I just received from that company.

I got approached on Facebook through one of these remote work pages and I just got suspicious when the person asked for my email straight away when I was just asking for more information about the job before accepting.

The email looked legit and well written. I didn't open the attachments, deleted the email and blocked the address.

I thought you might want to add it to the other addresses already reported even though I guess they can create as many as they want.

24translate is a scam May 4, 2018

[email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] were involved. These companies go around getting free translation and they think that is the way to be successful. Then they change company name, too. Don't translate for them.Collapse

SCAM ALERT! The email address they used was [email protected]. Obviously, a serious translation company would NOT be using a Gmail account.

Very strange Sep 9, 2020

I have just received a request via WhatsApp from Shaima, who claims to be a project manager at 24translate.net. I asked her to provide me more info about the company and the project. But the answer was sent from [email protected]. I refused to work with them and now they are trying to prove me that they are not scammers

Hello Friends, I have received a similar mail today. I'm posting the mail content here. It appears that this agency hasn't stopped its activities. Thank you to all the fellow translators for posting your experiences, so that all the other translators could be warned. Thank you, Regards, Padmavathi.

Mail Details:

Best translator

Dear,

Please find a file for the English>Hindi translation, proofreading and
quality assurance reviews of the 889 phrases contained in the sheet
"Full Content", Column E, in the file "31020EN_Culture Survey - Core
Content 11-2-2021.xlsx".

Instructions:

1) Add the translation in column F directly to the right of the text
in red in column E. Please make sure that the translation of each row
of text corresponds exactly to the row of text in English. In other
words, the translation of each row of English should be in the
corresponding row right next to it.

2) Please do not remove filters or unhide rows.

3) Please do not re-sort the rows.

4) The content will include some types of text THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALTERED:

a) Text which contains HTML tags for breaks, bolding etc. (e.g.,
)
b) Text which contains special characters (e.g., "°" for the degree symbol)
c) Text which contains variables for substitution (e.g., #part_first_name#).

If any of the above are changed or deleted, the text containing them
will not appear correctly.

5) For multi-byte languages (e.g., Chinese or Japanese) please be sure
to use Unicode characters, and do not use any specially encoded fonts.

6) Some text appears in multiple places. We need translations filled
in for every item. For these duplicates you may copy/paste.

7) Translations must be supplied for ALL text provided in the extract.
You may feel that some of the text to translate does not apply to your
specific project but this text may be used under rare scenarios.

8) If you do any editing in Word or Excel, please turn "smart quotes"
off. Smart quotes are the forward and backward quotes that Word
automatically puts in your document. They are special characters and
do not always display well.
To disable "smart quotes":

In MS Word
a. Select Tools, Autocorrect from the Menu.
b. Select the "AutoFormat as you type" tab.
c. In the second section, unselect "replace straight quotes with smart quotes"

In MS Excel
a. Select Tools, Autocorrect from the Menu.
b. Unselect the "Replace text as you type" checkbox.

9) The translation is needed by 12 noon EDT on Monday November 8th,
2021 or as soon as possible before that. Please confirm.


Thank you!

Regards,
Yasmeen
Project manager.

me too received a rude email from them Nov 23, 2021

Got the similar email which sounds rude and blunt, requesting 'a short test' out of the blue under the name of cooperation, EXPECTING the future cooperation as well.

Below email sender used gmail as they are banned from this site, but clearly they're still willing to deceive people. This is obviously to save proofreading fee, making someone work for free.

They use 'we translation' to disguise and deceive the email sorting system, I suppose.

I got this request from them today Jan 28, 2022

Hello Sir/Madam,

Hope you are fine ,

We have a project for you

Since I don't know your translation skills yet, I propose to start with a rate of €2.5 per 100 words.

If you agree, we will send you a test to be returned quickly.

If this test is approved, we will send you administrative documents to sign and you will be included in our database.

I await your approval before sending you the test.

I got an email today with two .docx files attached from [email protected].

I'm fully booked right now and said no, but I wouldn't take work from an agency using a gmail or Hotmail address anyway. The email looks to be from 24Translate.net or WeTranslate. I wouldn't trust an agency that can't decide on a name either. Here's the text of the email:

Hello,
I have a Dutch-to-English proofreading project, and I want to verify and proofread the translation, and the original text is the Dutch file, and what I need to check and review is the English text, and I hope to preserve the file format. ?! I got your account from searching online. Please do not start before receiving confirmation of start please, and I hope not to be disturbed by my communication with you or to be considered a misleading message. And please send your WhatsApp upon approval for ease of communication.

I hope for a positive reply soon please?!
