Northbridges Capital was introduced as a payment bank after I completed translation work

I received what appeared to be a translation assignment from someone claiming to represent Macmillan Publishers. The pay was unusually high, but the project itself looked real enough that I completed the work.

When payment was due, I was moved to another contact through Microsoft Teams and instructed to create an account with Northbridges Capital. I could not find a credible record for northbridgescapital.com, and search results only showed similarly named legitimate businesses.

The supposed employer had no reason to force payment through an unknown banking website. The translation job was being used to move me into a second platform where fees or deposits could be introduced.
