My name is Damaris and I´m a freelancer. I supposed translate 200 medical articles English to Portuguese in 3 days, I send the files by teluscompany@gmail.com, they told me that the payment was in process but I need pay BRL 500 so I could recive my money, because I just slept 3 h for 3 days I didn´t though much and send the money, now I don´t have my money, didn´t recive my payment and I´m reciving messages requesting to pay US$100 so finally can recive my payment.
If it´s not your company, please just check and search this information because they are using your name, but if it´s your company I just want my payment, please.

Yes, that was a scam. Telus doesn't use Gmail addresses for communication. Do NOT send them any more money. You'll never see any payment from the scammers.

No corporation of significant size would use companyname@gmail.com as an email address. They would use xxxx@companyname.xxx as their email address and even then you need to make sure that companyname.xxx is owned by the company and not some variation of the official domain owned by someone else.
