To John from Transhorsa.com/org
Hello John,
I just received from you a second comment with exactly the same content of a message you left a couple of days ago. As you do seem to have a habit of leaving comments on irrelevant posts and, at the same time, ignoring my reply to your comment, I think it’s advisable to write a post to draw your attention so you could stop this SPAM act.
On July 18, 2008, you left on Kelly’s post a comment (http://www.yeasir.com/blog/2008/06/how-to-keep-up-with-the-times/#comment-2587) as follows:
Hi Jianjun
I am lucky to find your blog on the web. We invite you to write original articles for a blog named as Westernwords operated by our company, which is about strategies, news, trend and case study of translation industry. I will appreciate you to order your articles with 500-1000 English words about the above aspects above.
You can quote me by one article and I will paid after I release it on our blog. I will give you a subject each time or you may choose a subject confirmed by us to start writing.
I will need 4-8 articles each month.
As a cooperation return, I would request a link from your blog to ours in order to have both of our articles shared by wide audience.
Hope we have a long term cooperation.
And my reply (http://www.yeasir.com/blog/2008/06/how-to-keep-up-with-the-times/#comment-2588) was:
Hello John,
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog.
As a localization professional, I blog for fun and for sharing interest with friends around the world, and I’m not interested in writing commercial pieces for other sites - otherwise, I’d be X times richer by just blogging.

I suggest you hire someone who’s a professional writer to contribute to your translation blog.
Good luck!
Jianjun
However, you posted the same message today (July 21, 2008) on my post “Can Translation Change the World for the Better” (http://www.yeasir.com/blog/2008/03/can-translation-change-the-world-for-the-better/#comment-2590)
As a matter of fact, after receiving your ‘comment’ the other day, I checked your sites Transhorsa.org/com out and even tried your phone and fax numbers listed on http://www.transhorsa.org/Contact_us.htm (No 30, #14-04, Sturdee Road, Singapore 207852 TEL: +65 6493 3637 FAX: +65 6733 6786) in Singapore (some fake translation companies use fake addresses/numbers so I have to do this routine check). Unfortunately, both numbers, at the time of my check, had a problem - the phone number being nonexistent, while the fax number being the same with another company called Corporate Visions (http://www.bizspace.net/rental.php).
As I said in my reply to your first post, I am a localization professional and I blog only for fun and not for money. Now I’d also like to add (just in case), that all the information under the domain Yeasir.com and its network of websites are copyright material. Any use of this information without prior written permission from its respective copyright owners is prohibited.
I hope this post is enough to draw your attention to the issue and hope no further ‘comment’ of a similar nature from you or your company appear here again.
