Very recently, I just got a fraud case from a Email as [email protected] under the name of Shiona Oldham from Wolfestone Translation Ltd. Today, I got contact with Mrs Shiona, as she told this email is a Fraud, not from her company.
Also, through my searching I found that [email protected] use the name of WR Linguistics, the web is http://www.wilkes-rowe.com/
so, anyone if you find this contact or anyone who use this Email will most probably a Fraud case.
The tricks the cheat used is using a very attractive price and will offer PO, address etc. make him or her look like a Real company.
Pls note, and tell any translator you may know.
tks.

WR Linguistics is part of Wilkes Rowe Limited - Registered Company No. 4905492
Today, I contacted with WR Linguistics staff through its website and got panic answer.
They have no one under that name.
so, I lost USD 1,700.-
Somebody tell me what to do ?
I do not know what to do.
I have guessed That shiona Oldham is living somewhere in HongKong/Singapore.
Because the time zone it used was not the UK clearly.

[EDIT]
I'm not good at Japanese but the Google translation helps a lot.

You can see the same E mail address here.
This one is not so big.
I guess, mine was the worst.

Though I am not a victim (yet, thank you for the warning), I never trust agencies that have no email address of themselves, so yahoo's.com, hotmails.com, gmails,com, etc. are subject to my delete button.

We need some kind of special alert space in this community.
Maybe, or for sure, some other victim(s) working hard now for his living.
This sucks. Really.
And have no way to kill that person.
