ADMIN : ATTENTION/ MIND! DANGER Fw: A new tool for translators

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

Please be careful if you receive the email below.

I could'nt tell you exactly why, but I " feel " a danger in it. Maybe because

of this sentence :

" This window of

> opportunity will only be accessible for a few days before its

> closed for good. "

and again : "

" When you register, you will receive an autoresponder that

> contains information that is not relevant to you, except for a

> confirmation of the password/username " (fantastic !! I will receive an

autoresponder machine, not relevant to me of course :-)))) or again :

" Again, this link will be removed very shortly, so please sign in

> today. " .

Please note that even me, a basic French-speaking person, is able to

understand that this message is written in an English language even worst

than mine (!!), that sounds typically from a " foreigner " to my ears. Please

do not send your personal data to this person.

> In return, you'll be able to search through everyone else's

> translators and translation agencies.

> At the moment, we're finalizing the database, and we are

> therefore inviting a select few to test this database for free.

> This will be a paid service, but as a thank you for your

> participating in making sure that the database is stable, we will

> give you a free year's access to this database. This window of
