Indeed, the ATA website is used for that scam as well. Happened to me last week with a translation request from English to German. I requested advance payment through paypal, but the guy only wanted to pay through bank checks and had a myriad of awkward explanations for that. I finally gave up.
I am having the same problem, wish I have read sooner these posts, I took the check to bank today, so now I worry for a bad news and troubles...Why is happening that???

This was the same e-mail I received on Tuesday. I responded and got a sample text which I used to make an offer. This was accepted immediately. Shortly after that I got a mail announcing that I would receive a check in advance. I wrote back that I would contact my bank about this (I was suspicious) and that I usually receive payments via bank transfer. Since then I haven't got any response.

Hello, I just received the same sample, however the project is now a 20,000 words translation job, from EN into FR, and Mr. Gomez changed to Anneli Nasman and now lives in Sweden!
Sadly, it seems that this woman does exist (and can be found online with the same address as the one I was given in the scam email), and one can assume she has nothing to do with the sender of the email.
| | | | | Another colleague... | Jan 18, 2011 |
...just wrote reporting that he had received it as well from Ms. "Anneli" for a supposed Spanish translation to be paid in advance with traveller's checques. So the scam is quite alive. This Anneli got in touch via Aquarius.net, so beware!!
| | | | | It's still going on.... | Jan 18, 2011 |
Hello everybody,
I just got the same request from Anneli Nasman.
Indeed I got it via Aquarius.net. Strangely enough, when I checked the posting details the first time, she was supposed to be a member, the next day she had disappeared!
The address this time is:
My address is ..

As Aude says, it seems this person really exists.
