Protranslate (.net) has a 'Media News' section on their website where they put fake articles by well-known sources like Reuters and MarketWatch:

They also used to falsely claim that they've been featured on Forbes, Entrepreneur and Fortune, but I guess they deleted those after I contacted these magazines.

I'm not sure whether they're a scam but I wanted to give everyone a heads up since this is all so fishy.

They're on Proz by the way:

Thank you for clarifying! Nov 6, 2020

Thank you for the info!

I stumbled upon their website and was really confused as to why Reuters would report the launch of Protranslate's services, and on top of that use this kind of wording: "Highly acclaimed online translation platform Protranslate is pleased to launch new document translation services…"
