SITE LOCALIZER | Received the e-mail, from Worksilo.org 10 Feb | Feb 11 |
Hello,
I also received the exact same e-mail, but the contact was AIYANA ODINA from worksilo.org. The same word count (22,117 words, 145 pages, £0.24 per word payment). The offer sounded too good to be true and after I didn't find anything on Blueboard about them, I accidentally found this thread.

Hi Everyone,
Today, they tried to scam me, too – I searched for “worksilo.org proz” immediately. They obvious want access to the victim’s bank account to steal their money when they are desperate to get paid and willing to do anything risky. They must have been successful many times.
I don’t understand how a well-documented scam website with all details below, can still operate? Are there no authorities anymore... See more Hi Everyone,

She made the 50% advanced payment without any discussions, she sent the slip, today, I received an email from the so called bank with the same instructions, I need to pay 200 euros, and for this I need to use their live chat, and may be Peter Boskovitz is correct, is there anyway we can contact authorities, still it is good that we all shared the info.
Thank you all for alerting,
I have an idea, all of those who were contacted, flag the email as phishing scam and report, as such, when the email host received large number of alerts, this will call the authorities automatically.

Greetings to a fellow from the same country. I am afraid nobody will be able to help us gan.
After reading all the posts in this thread, I just want to share that I have also been tricked.
Aiyana sent a receipt of a transfer from a so-called financial company, and that financial company emailed and required me to deposit around Euro 240 to authorize the payment transfer to my bank account.

Hi,
I also received the exact same email from AIYANA ODINA.
To answer your question about their ultimate goal of broadcasting this scam, I believe that they tried to get the money from the "Transfer Pending Authorization" Scheme. So, after claiming they had made the payment, they would send the following email:

To answer your question about their ultimate goal of broadcasting this scam, I believe that they tried to get the money from the "Transfer Pending Authorization" Scheme. So, after claiming they had made the payment, they would send the following email:
To proceed with the transaction, the **Global Monetary Authorization (GMA)** and **Transactional Handling Fee (THF)** must be finalized. This requires a **refundable deposit of €247 EUR**, which will be **fully reimbursed** upon the successful completion of the authorization process.
Hope it will keep the unsuspected crowd being informed.
Best regards,
Amri

I finally got this e-mail too:
Dear [M/N],
Thank you for your initial submission of the translation work. We appreciate your effort.
Attached to this email is a receipt from my superiors for your reference.
Transactions are usually instant, but international wire transfers might experience delays due to a difference in banking systems and region. To avoid delays, please visit the live chat on unitycapitalfinance.org within 6 hours if the funds do not appear in your local account. You can access the customer's support without registration.
Meanwhile, please proceed with the remaining 60% of the project to meet our client's deadline. The final payment will be processed on time as the funds for this next phase of the project is already prepared for you and will be sent to vanguardglobalcapital to be processed to your local bank soon.
Instructions for the next part of the project from the review staff are as follows:
Please review the translation for accuracy and consistency. Pay special attention to idiomatic expressions and ensure they are adapted to fit the cultural context of the target audience. Additionally, verify that character names and specific terms are consistently translated throughout the script.
Please proceed at your earliest convenience.
Best regards,
AIYANA ODINA
And another mail from [email protected] with subject: Urgent: Pending Payment & Authorization Requirements
Thank God I choose to just ignore them now.
