A person just emailed me yesterday (Rule # 8 cannot say his name, too bad, it's a funny, made up Spanish-English mix), telling me in not-so good English that he needed my services as an interpreter "in the area" I live, he just couldn't mention it. He said the job is for February 25th for 5 days. Without specifying my details, I asked where he needed interpreting, and he named about half a dozen US cities saying that he would fly me wherever the job was. Yeah right! The whole story was bogus and inconsistent. He/she could hardly write three correct words in English. Heads up!
