Text of e-mail in reply to my quote:

As i am not a translator or into translation field, Everything is fine. My payment choice is by bank cheque which is save and easy. I can pay you fully, Let me know if you agree so your payment will be send out without any delay. Do not worry about your payment as i will not like to work without been paid myself. I am trusting you for a good translation

No name on the e-mail, but the name displayed in the job advert was Romo Massimiliano, purporting to be in Italy.

Warning signs:
Recently-joined direct customer member
No info on profile, no Blue Board entry
Use of a hotmail address ([email protected])

The text supplied, although it was apparently a complete document, was also one readily found on the Internet about sustainable agricultural practices in developing countries.

I was unable to find the IP address this message came from.

Yes, unfortunately, they learn that there's a gullible person born every minute.
