Hello

This morning I got a message saying "Would you be willing to work with these translators again?" with a list of agencies in the body of the mail, along with the option to click "YES" to the text "...I'd be willing to work with all of these translators again." But these aren't translators -- they're agencies.

What gives? (-:

Was it an email or a weblink?

Did the email address/weblink look genuine?

Its genuine Nov 23, 2022

Its genuine. It comes from ProZ.com. It's not a scam. It's a bug.
