A scam is a scam is a scam

Ahem ... In fact, it's called "due diligence" - a concept you can ignore only at your own perils - and it's never "wasted time". Even if it's just for practice.
And it's also important to interpret what you find in the right way. Like not assuming that every domaine [sic] name must have a website. False negatives are as bad as false positives.
If I agree 100% with you when it comes to due diligence, in this specific case, with all the scam-screaming red flags popping up left, right and centre in the original message received by Sedat (who, in the meantime, has been ignoring his own thread for 26 days, BTW), I would not be bothered to investigate this 'potential client' any further.

i also got involved in this scam.
The reason of trust, their working website. I know you can't take that for granted.
I wish this threat focus in the essential point, join all prozians involved and end with this "agency".
I send a complain trough linkedin, without any feedback yet.

I hope this threat do not become a "dialogue" between colleagues about how xxxx you are/I am and we make a team to destroy this kind of shit in our profession or at least end with this "agency".
