Thanks to those of you who shared information about a certain alleged scammer, still using the same name and email address, btw. I'm new to ProZ and I guess scammers look for newbies. But the phrase 'cashier's check' gave this person away, so I came here to look for info - suspicions confirmed! Does anyone have experience using the ProZ payment tools?

I was just tapped by Linda Sun as well. Glad I checked here first. I am newish to the freelance world and got a little excited at the prospect of being sought out.
I will follow your lead Michael and ask for a company name, address, website and country. Thanks for helping us newbies see the scams coming. Really appreciated!
