It has come to our attention that someone is posing as an employee of TCK Publishing as Cole Salao on freelancing and/or job posting forums posting fake jobs or gigs for translation work. Please do not fall for this or any other job scams on the internet.
Cole continues to work with us as a blog writer and we believe someone else is impersonating him on Whatsapp and Telegram and job posting sites as part of a scam.
Any jobs posted by TCK Publishing would appear on our website at https://www.tckpublishing.com/publishing-jobs/
Tips for Avoiding Job Scams:
- Don’t communicate with someone outside of official company channels.
- Look out for fake email accounts that end with 3rd-party domain names such as yahoo.com, aol.com, gmail.com, etc. Real company email accounts will always be contain the actual domain name of the company after the @ sign. For example, [email protected] is a real email and you know it’s real because it has the official domain name of the company.
- Don’t communicate via Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, Voxer, or other messaging apps. Real people working at real companies use email to communicate via written messages about hiring and contracts.
