Dear Members,
Thank you very much for your continued support of our association.
We have repeatedly received reports of suspicious job-offering emails sent via the "Find a Translator" page on the JAT website ( https://jat.org/translators ).
While JAT continuously implements technical security measures, due to the nature of being a publicly accessible contact point on the internet, it is difficult to completely prevent solicitations or fraudulent approaches from malicious third parties.
Please note that JAT does not intervene in individual communications conducted through the translator directory. We sincerely ask that, when accepting or declining
work requests, you carefully verify the identity of the proposers and make your own informed judgment. As a reference, we recommend the following precautions:
- Thoroughly verify company information and contact details Confirm that the client's official website, address, and telephone number actually exist.
- Use a keyword By including a unique instruction in your profile, such as "Please include XX in the subject line when contacting me," you can more efficiently identify automated spam or messages that have not been properly read.
- Consult a third party If you are unsure how to proceed, we recommend consulting with a trusted colleague or fellow professional and taking time to assess the situation calmly.
In particular, if you are asked to provide excessive personal information, or if the proposed compensation is unreasonably low or high, we strongly recommend that you discontinue communication immediately.
JAT remains committed to creating an environment in which our members can work with confidence. We appreciate your renewed awareness of transaction-related risks and your careful self-management in responding to inquiries.
Thank you for your continued support of JAT.
