I'm really surprised they've targeted you - they must be slipping Sep 9, 2019

Normally, these scams are directed at people who are clearly newbies and so extremely vulnerable. You don't seem to match that profile -- by a long way.

Do you have experience as an illustrator?

Oops! A bit of a giveaway

I got this too Sep 16, 2019

And I thought it was genuine - stupid me - I am too old and experienced to fall for things like this. I'm usually good at spotting scams.

I have a video interview set up for tomorrow - so let's see if anyone turns up. And if they are the person they claim to be.

So - what do the scammers get out of it exactly? They already have my CV, which is annoying - but they are not actually me.

And - if they do turn up to the video interview - what do they get out of this, exactly? Will they steal my video image??? I honestly don't understand what they would get out of interviewing me if they aren't going to use my services.

P.S. It didn't say anything about being an illustrator, otherwise I would have twigged.

It's all I can do, apart from block them and report their emails and domains to Microsoft. I feel terribly stupid. These people are evil IMO.

I fell for it Sep 20, 2019

I just started the so called interview and then became suspicious. They have my CV. Should I be worried? I cannot believe I am so naive.

Yes, it is a scam Sep 23, 2019

I received an email from Ariana Pharmaceutical last week offering full-time and part-time jobs for translator/interpreter. I though I would answer and see what it was about. I looked up the company online and it seemed to be a legitimate company. They set up an online interview for me through Google Hangouts. I was doing the interview this morning through chat, not through video call, and it felt fishy. Thankfully, I didn’t provide any personal information other than my CV. While in the middle... See more
I received an email from Ariana Pharmaceutical last week offering full-time and part-time jobs for translator/interpreter. I though I would answer and see what it was about. I looked up the company online and it seemed to be a legitimate company. They set up an online interview for me through Google Hangouts. I was doing the interview this morning through chat, not through video call, and it felt fishy. Thankfully, I didn’t provide any personal information other than my CV. While in the middle of the interview, I decided to go directly to the Ariana Pharmaceutical website and send a message through the contact page to ask if they are hiring through this process or if it is a scam. Within a few minutes, I received an email from them confirming that it is a scam. At that time, I blocked the lady that I was chatting with and left Google Hangouts. It is not clear to me what kind of benefit they were trying to gain through this type of scam. However, I wasted a morning on this and I want to warn other translators not to fall into this trap.Collapse

They are still at it Oct 8, 2019

I got the scam email yesterday.

I must say they are quite good at it. Their English is good and they know how to send a professional looking email.

Mistakes in English Oct 8, 2019

Actually, their English is not that good. It's pretty stilted and makes you feel awkward just reading it. This is the second email I have had, luckily it went straight to my SPAM box and I only saw it today...

Again! a variation on another scam using same xxx.company.com domain Oct 8, 2019

Same scam as

https://www.proz.com/forum/scams/337531-is_this_a_scam.html

based on using the domain name "company.com" and adding a sub-domain name in a way to confuse IT novices / make it look like it's coming from a pharmaceutical company:

It might sound "boring / too technical / no time for that / etc" but learning some basics about domain names really helps.

Got it too today! Oct 9, 2019

I am so glad that this was posted on here.
It sounded great, however, once you click on the website link at the bottom of the email it says the following:

This site can’t be reachedglobal.arianapharmaceutical.com refused to connect.

Hopefully, everyone gets to read this before they send out their CV and other personal info.

Thanks!
Dominique
