Asking customers to enter review is not the way to fix this, in my opinion... Sep 5, 2016

... as this will help this site to look more legitimate. If no one 'claims their profile', it might just disappear. I am wondering about Klaus Baumann's post - he very much reminds of the poster who had started the other discussion about Lingorate that had been closed.

Exactly what I was thinking. Very fishy indeed.

I think Klaus is a fake profile Sep 5, 2016

All this is just free advertising for this Lingo thing.

This is a fake profile - ProZ take action Sep 5, 2016

I also had an unpleasant experience with this site. The agency I've translated for has rated my translation as 3 stars of 5 without asking my consent for publishing anything like this. I've never registered to lingorate, so it seems like the agency rep has created my profile himself - without even asking me!
I've contacted lingorate and asked them to remove my profile - no reply. Then I've sent an email to BDU (Federal association of German interpreters and translator) and asked for their advice - and unfortunately, they told me that they don't see any legal ways to influence them to delete my profile and/or review.
So I'm afraid that the only way to fix this situation for me now is to ask my loyal customers to post good reviews about me there - that's what I'll do. Good luck and be careful.

Let's leave it there shall we? Sep 5, 2016

This site has appeared on Proz before, and with a rather dubious topic starter (then, not this time!).

I think the best thing we could all do is to ignore the site - I have my doubts about its authenticity and also the "value" it brings to our profession.

I have asked the site staff to look into several aspects of this thread, and await their input.

Edit: Unlocked the topic to edit that the starter last time was dubious, not this time! Sorry for any confusi
