Last month, I looked up a translator with a name similar to mine with a direct name search in Proz Find.

To my surprise, I found not only his and my profiles but also 3 empty listings titled Thomas T. Frost (X). See the screenshot (information not relevant to this forum post has been hidden).

None of the profiles exists.

If they don't exist, why are they listed in a search? It looks messy.

What are or were these profiles? I've only ever had my present one. Were they set up by scammers and then removed by staff?

I asked these questions to support on 16 September. They said they would refer it to site developers and get back to me. As a non-member, I can't really complain, but it would be interesting to know if others have observed similar problems.
