I was recently dealing with a person (wetranslate-allen@gmail.com) as a result of a job posting on the beijinger and my story will hopefully serve as a warning. After emailing back and forth in October about doing some translation work for his company everything seemed great. I didn't hear back from him for a while and then in December he contacted me with work. I worked hours and hours for him, I was assured that at the end of the month I could come out to his shijingshan area office (wanda plaza) to receive my payment. Every correspondence with him was extremely professional. A month came and went and I was promised payment after Chinese New Year, then it was "after this last video is done". Well the millionth video is done and mysteriously he stops answering his email and phone (182-0124-0421).

I was duped into believing that he was a legitimate businessman because I am an honest and trusting person and ended up doing 6 weeks worth of work for a con-man that I am sure he has sold off to someone else. I was doing transcription of videos from American universities (Harvard and MIT, please message me if you see these with english subtitles).

The moral of the story is: if a job seems too good to be true it probably is, don't do work for someone you have never met before, and don't get screwed over like I did.
