| I just got the "daimond" treatment. | Jul 7, 2009 |
Marked them as spammers on my Gmail account, let Google show 'em out...
| | | |
Did anyone try to answer these people with "I already have the exact version of Systran that you are offering, so I don't need to buy it from you. I've been using it for a couple of years, so no tutorial is necessary either. Please send the material to translate right away"

| He contacted me today! | Aug 9, 2009 |
I wonder if nothing can be done to stop that guy and any other ones? Isn´t there any legal way to catch him?
It seems he has been doing it for a long period of time now!
I suggest everybody to spread the word about it.

I got the following message, which Outlook throwed in the trash bin. I tried to figure out the location of the sender by the IP-address given in the message, but the IP-locating web service did not give me any result. It seems the person have received my contact information through GlobTra portal where I am also registered.

The fact that any firm would spell its name Daimond sounds fishy to me...
