It has been brought twice to my attention this week that someone has been using my CV in an attempt to get work and I am having second thought about leaving too much info on my profile.

Please note, these are the e-mail addresses the scammer is using:

[email protected]

[email protected]



Thank you

Terminating emails Nov 4, 2014

Hi,

do you know if it is possible to terminate the email a scammer has been using? If yes, how would I proceed?
That would be nice to get rid of them.

Thank you


That's why I go for "(CV/Resume) available upon request"
It saves you hustle and keeps your privacy. However, sometimes clientts would like to check on CV on proz.com before contacting a translator. But may be your updated activities and availability can encourage the client to contact you.

Scammer is using my name on fake CV and email Feb 13, 2023

Hi,
It has been brought to my attention that someone is using my name for their CV and email. They have not stolen my CV, but is using my name and reputation as an English-Swedish translator. My professional email address is [email protected] - not [email protected].
