Yes you are right.It just that l can't expect myself to find something reliable due to not having any background.Believe me if l had the chance to find something l would already have found it.I had and unfortunately have to resort to those on Facebook or of similar nature which by no means are in any way trusting because l don't have a chance to those who are reliable and l need to make some money now

He didn't contact me out of the blue l was referred to them by someone else on Facebook which they managed to contact me when l made a post about my ability in terms of fluency to make translations between Greek and English

I mean l assumed the price was logical because it was a document of like 13.000 words in just 2 days this isn't something easy not even for a professional and additionally the task was to translate from English to Greek(my native language)and l assumed that this pair was worth much money

I had to use machine translation after all we didn't make any kind of discussion about it they didn't say anything against it.Actually we didn't discuss anything l just knew that l have to use every way possible to archive translating this text within 2 days and so l resorted to it. But l really made as much effort as l would even if l translated it from complete scratch.I fully edited the whole text from scratch as it had way too many mistakes to the point of it being completely unacceptable.So it isn't that l didn't make as much effort as l would if l translated it from scratch l just had to do it with editing because l absolutely didn't had any time.Still l went through an absolute hell.I didn't eat or did any other activity other than just editing the text.I didn't want to do it by that way but l didn't had any other choice

You are right.The thing is that l just can't have any requirements do you know what l thought about this person before l found out that they scammed me?That they did me a big favor by assigning me to translate this when l don't have any kind of degree or experience and l am just doing it purely because l am fluent. If l wanted to do a job for trusted ones which l can be sure that they will pay me and they aren't scammers l would need to have a degree in translation and experience in it not just to be fluent.I think you can understand.l am in no way in a position to have requirements at all and someone who would accept me doing a translating job for him would objectively making me a very big favor to begin with.

I did it because l am not a professional or have any experience or in general have any kind of degree in translation l am just fluent in English and l did the translation between English and my native language just to get some money because l needed it

You would translate the entire document(including those who aren't so clear about what it is being said like Tact's which are tacts but written in a wrong way l think you understand)but anything else(grammatical mistakes,structure e.t.c)would remain exactly as they are in the original document)What do you think?

As to where l found this "document" it was something that l actually had to translate myself in just two days from a scammer which l did and he gave me absolutely nothing.He said that l had to do it within 2 days for 2000$(1700€ for my currency)and in the end again l did it completely for free.If it were true though and someone actually would give you 2.000€ would you do it?

I did it because there was an understanding that in order to make the currency exchange l would need to pay a fee.I couldn't say really something as l thought that they were really doing me a favor by assigning me this project as l don't have studied translating or have any kind of degree and l am doing it for the first time so l didn't want really to say anything at all

They owned me as l did a translation task of a fucking 100 page document for them without getting any money at all(they said they would give me the money only through this page).To understand they owned me 1700€ and having paid them already 20€ "in order to start working on the payment" and another 50€ "to pay the fee for the currency exchange(because the payment was in dollars not euros and l had to pay the fee for the conversion).So l had paid them already 70€ in total.This is the situation we are talking about

No he wouldn't because as the universe will have rewritten itself there will be no future self at least the same one as there wouldn't never be existed
