See more Dear colleagues from Proz.com, I’m writing to you because I received an email message several days ago offering me a Spanish translation project in my cellular phone. I tried to call the phone number mentioned in the text message but every time, I call this number,I’m getting an answer machine. I left around three voice messages but nobody has called me back. It’s very strange that every time,I call them, I’m getting an answer machine. I’m suspecting that this text message could be a scam. The phone number is from the state of Washington here in USA. I will be glad to copy and paste the copy of that phone text message for you. I want to verify if that text message is legitimate or if someone is trying to do a scam to me. Thanks for your help and cooperation, Spanish native speakers, feel free to write to me in Spanish. Best regards, Yugoslavia I will be glad to provide the phone number if you write me directly to my profile. Here is the copy of the message: You have been sent a message from your TranslatorsCafe.com page by hollande michael.Hello are you available for a job to translate English to French,kindly get back to me,you can also send me text on my number......
