and there is no specific information about you. How would you prove the name they listed belongs with you?
Mine was there too. They modified my ID from jyuan_us to jyuanus.

Skype ID is mine, besides that my family name is written the French way, which is unusual in my country, so in this respect it is unique. An there is no other person with my name, my job profile and language combinations.

Mine has been changed, too, to remove a sentence.
Of course, as Lisa and Ekaterina, I want the entry completely removed!

| Problem solved? | Nov 13, 2014 |
Both offending URLs seem to be unavailable at the moment. Let's hope this means that the issue has been resolved and our information won't resurface somewhere else.
All the best,

Now, I cannot send a message to this guy on neither pages, because I am not connected to them.
And frankly, I don't wish to be.
However, Enrique Cavalitto of ProZ.com is listed as a 1st connection.
Perhaps he could contact this guy and request him to take down all this harvested data. (I sent him a message about this.)
Thanks Katalin!
Probably because of my role as workspace director at Translators without Borders, I receive many LinkedIn connection requests, and I routinely accept them when related to translation or humanitarian organizations. This is how this profile happens to be connected to mine, and I made good use of your idea, sending them a formal request from ProZ.com to cease and desist these improper activities. I received no reply, and I would be surprised to receive any.
Best regards,
Enrique
After a couple of exchanges in LinkedIn, I got the following reply:
Hello Enrique,
We have closed down translation.directory and will send out a message to our members later today.
Kind regards,
TD Admin
The URL corresponding to this site looks inactive, so probably the issue has been solved.
Regards,
Enrique

Enrique, thank you for your efforts, and to all of you who took action! And especially thanks to Anton who made us aware of the issue!
