Having recently moved to Tashkent, I was looking for a good Uzbek - English / Russian - English translator, as we have quite a substantial requirement for translations in our Office. I found a lady online by the name of T . We met up and her command of English was good. She asked for an advance and was meant to start the following week. I never heard back from her ever again and when calling her to request the money back, she avoided my calls. Not a good start.

Just be aware of her so that you do not get scammed yourself.

Hello Adam,

Sorry to hear about that.

Did you get in touch with this person on Expat.com ?

No, the contact was not through Expat.com

I just wanted to warn people in Tashkent about her.

But since her name has been redacted in my original post, it will be of no use to the Expat.com community.

I saw your bitter posts on Facebook earlier and the comments that suggest you seek professional organisations and or qualified individuals, rather than offer prices that only scam artists would be interested in!

I want to take this opportunity to comment for others reading your negative post, that with over 15 years in and out of Uzbekistan using professional translators recommended by Notary Services (they will have their preferred translators), I have always been delighted by the level of service and professionalism I have received from qualified translators in Uzbekistan.

If you want translation services I would visit one of the universities and post a request for that service

I’ve had a similar experience with a translator a while back. I needed some legal documents translated for work and found someone online who seemed reliable. We agreed on the terms, and they asked for an advance. After that, they just disappeared, and I couldn't get a hold of them either.
