Hi, Margaret,

I don't know how to trace company registrations, but if you are

suspicious, perhaps you can reply with a quote and a time frame, ask

for written confirmation and a partial payment upfront. You can

explain that this is your procedure with new customers. That way you

will at least have written record of the " contract. " Or you might

first ask more details of the project -- whether it will be published

and where, for instance, explaining that you know certain journals

have formatting requirements and you would like to provide a

publication-ready translation (or some such), and without that needed

information you cannot give an accurate quote or completion date,

which need to mutually agreed upon before you accept the job.

Perhaps by striking up a conversation with the buyer, you can get

enough information to allay your suspicions (or not, in which case you

can decline the job).
