Exposing a cheating client/FInnish translation

€250-750 EUR

Paid on delivery
Would need assistance from all freelancer with the following effort: Few days ago I was assigned to have a 16 000+ word / 50000 word job completed within 3 days / 21 days. first delivery was for 16 000 + words. I had two persons assisting me and delivered the file in time. client promised instant payment. then changed it into 24 hrs from delivery. after 48 hrs he told me that the translation is of bad quality and quit the contract. Naturally, the translation is of good if not perfect quality which means the client is simply lying and cheating. he has 7 more translators left unpaid at the moment at odesk.com. Now he tells me he has hired two FINNISH speaking persons here at freelancer.com to do the job. Please contact me if you have agreed to any such assignment, most likely with someone from BANGLADESH, Probably a company working here. The content is Adult. Please be aware of these people and also note that he will probably continue cheating as he needs to have the file completed and has already left several people unpaid at another platform. Please contact me with ANY information in regard of the matter, to have these people out of the business for good. Any information leading to having the due payment forwarded will be rewarded. thank you

Hello! Obviously, I'm just writing not to bid (...) but to have more info and to help, if I can. For me: could you please let me know the name/user ID of this cheating employer? I wouldn't deal with that topic :-), but he could have something different to make translate. For you: 1) have you already tried to ask freelancer.com support t do something - to ban him or so? I suppose you could show your good will and his bad and they could (hopefully) check your private corresepondence? Then, 2) there's at least another translators' platform that - at least some years go - used to prepare, update and sell a list of bad employers (non-paying, delaying, cheating in multiple ways); if you are interested, please let me know and I will try to find what site it was. Then again, 3) I've painfully/angrily had myself the same experience on another platform but, luckily, there it's possibile to expose the cheaters, release in any case a negative feedback and - happily again - I had the opportunity to threat him (I had his personal email) to send him some debt collectors :-). This way, I finally was paid, in a blink of an eye. I suppose it won't be your case but 4) is it really likely to be impossible to tell directly his clients that since you haven't been paid, YOU own the rights for that translation and could sue them if they use your translation? Maybe I will sound naive :-) for this case, but sometimes it seems to have worked. If needed, please contact me. Good luck! workisall
