He was a project manager at a Vietnamese company named Expertrans, which has been banned from Proz.com before.
If you want to find competent and trusted Japanese translator, please contact me via http://www.proz.com/translator/1901450.
That's the genuine contact of mine.
If you have some information about this Vietnamese con man, let me know. Thank you. | | | Mr. Satan (X) English to Indonesian The name does ring a bell | Mar 5, 2022 |
I seem to remember this name from a list of scammers, but I forgot where I saw it. Anyway, I feel sorry for you. Several senior translators have their CVs and cover letters stolen by crooks, and I myself have that experience with my cover letter. Recruiters really need to stop relying on these old methods and use LinkedIn profiles instead, as it'd be easier to spot the fraudsters.
I sincerely hope that this won't cause you any financial or reputation damage. | | | Haruto Takashima Japan Local time: 13:15 English to Japanese + ... TOPIC STARTER Re: The name does ring a bell | Mar 5, 2022 |
Thank you, Novian.
I found the info about the Iris Localize owned by the imposter, Hoàng Minh Phúc.
Please use this to prevent the imposter from bothering you.

Not only in this case, but the personnel of unreliable translation companies especially in East Asia often use Anglo-American names, like Jim, Robert, Chris instead of their real names. For example, this Vietnamese imposter uses the name "Hugo". He just arbitrarily uses the Anglo-American name associated with the first letter of his real name, Hoang. You should be especially careful when you find a person in an East Asian translation company using this kind of Anglo-American name. | | | Mr. Satan (X) English to Indonesian

And then they switch to using East Asian names to appear legit. ![](https://cfcdn.proz.com/images/bb/smiles/icon_smile.gif) | | | Haruto Takashima Japan Local time: 13:15 English to Japanese + ... TOPIC STARTER Finally banned the imposter! | Mar 7, 2022 |
Hi Proz community,
A Proz staff told me that Iris Localize has been banned from Proz community.
Thank you so much for your quick action, Proz!
However, the imposter will do the same thing and we should be careful.
The Proz staff will make a scam alert for us soon. Please take a look at it when you get it.
