I almost got tricked by this one as well. The poor spelling and grammar in the emails was suspicious for a native US English speaker, and then once I asked for a PO there was no answer. Copy of the email below. Really unfortunate for the real person that's being impersonated.

These people are still at this! How can we warn people about them - and better yet, have them prosecuted? They must have a location somewhere.
Because they use the name and website of a legitimate translation company it is really hard to discover them if you are not always reading blogs like this one. | |
