Hi guys,
I've been recently contacted by some BiCortex Translations and Languages bicortexlanguages.com and bicortextranslations.com
Has anyone heard of them? They don't look like a reliable employer to me.
Thank you for your response.

BiCortex Feb 16, 2023

If you Google BiCortex, you will find they are headquartered in Spain with locations all over the world. They have their own TMS (Translation Management System). My sense is that you would not make much money with them.

You're not allowed to mention clients on the forums, except in the Scam subforum, if you're fairly certain that they are scammers. You should search the Blue Board for them, and if you can't find them there, add an entry "Make an entry" to request comments.

You can ask questions about specific outsourcers on the WPPF mailing list:

Contact by BiCortez Jan 5

Good evening I am a sworn translator and was contacted by them a few days ago for a sworn translation job for which they asked me to provide only the "Word files" which they call "simple translation".
This doesn't sound totally right as one could imagine...
So as they say "A bon entendeur ... "
Happy New Year to all

Yes Jan 5

I was recently contacted by them through LinkedIn for teaching English as a second language to a child whose father was relocated with his company from Brazil. When I found out that they live on my way home from work, I agreed to do it. Everyone at BiCortex that I have communicated with have been friendly, and all seems to be well. Which reminds me, today is the last day I have to send in my invoice for December! Thanks for the reminder (even though unintended)!

Helpful? Jan 5

I just noticed that the question was posted last February! My answer is probably too late for them! But maybe this will help someone else, including the latest poster.
