"We have a 65 minute Powepoint program that needs to be recorded by a native Italian speaker. Pay is $600. Please answer asap!
@ "

Should I answer to this?
They don't tell me more.
Do you think they are serious?

Thanks.
Dario

If you are able to find a web site for the company making the request and on the contact details there is a telephone number of a land line, not a cellphone, then I see no problem with this job.

Hello Dario,

You could also reply to the client requesting the direct contact and company information.

I totally agree with Philip, if you have some basic information about the company like website, land line, address, etc, it should be fine.

Thanks for your answers.

I copied the original message. No identity, no phone number... nothing more than a "low profile" request.

Thanks again.
Dario

I'll echo the others - gotta have a company name and some info.

I just completed a job for a company in Brussels. They were very up-front with their information when they contacted me directly, but the initial v123 posting was "Confidential".

I'd ask them for info. No info, no work.

My 2 cents,

Besides what the others have mentioned for your own security, Dario, isn't less than $10.00 a minute just a tad shy...?
