Maybe this information should be added to your company's BlueBoard record. Tina, I suggest you submit a support ticket about it to the Proz staff. If it's there, anyone contacted by "Somya", upon checking the Blue Board, will be enabled to sort out the real company from the fake one. | | | Carla Guerreiro France Local time: 01:41 Member (2006) French to Portuguese + ...

Hello Tina, Thank you very much for your message. Fortunately, I never got any job offer from these people and now I'll keep my eyes open. I agree with José Henrique: you should notify Proz.com staff about this. | |

I also felt into the pitfall of Ajoy Singh The problem is that he used the name of a registered outsourcer and I did not guess any danger in entering into contact with the company. I have learned for ever the lesson.

As everytime we had already cleared to all that this is someone else, and for this we had already given the notice on web-sites and even in the forum here, how anyonce can accept the project without any confirmation even if you are receiving the e-mail from yahoo one should think at least why one customer who are since 3 yrs. in the industry, have own domain can use yahoo e-mail ID. Please also note, Mr. Ajoy Singh is Managing Director of our company i.e. Somya Translators Pvt. Ltd., he never approch any translators by himself as we have a dedicated team for Vendor Management. This is our request to identify the IP address if you can will great help to us although we had already logged the complain with Indian Police but we are not sure by when we will get this solution. And in last again I would like to say that no one has been cheated by Somya Translators Pvt. Ltd. its something else and you need be aware of such cases in future too. Anyonce can help us to identify this man who is using e-mail ID, will be just great... Best regards, Tina Mittra ▲ Collapse | | | I have been cheated by Ajoy Singh | Jun 12, 2009 |
