Please kindly respond to the question in the post, or leave it be. Thanks.
"Move away from" LB? Look at the top performing global LSPs and you may reconsider this advice when you realise who LB is. [/quote]
I think it's highly likely that Ian knows who LB are, just as I do. They're a big player, sure. But there are thousands of agencies, certainly tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands. IMHO it would be far more relevant to look at the career paths of the top performing freelance translators. How many rely on LB?
But to revert to 100% on-topic, I advise you to check out the ProZ.com scam centre. One of the things we are advised never to do is pay to work! It seems to me you have the means to stop -- you already did it once. I doubt you'll ever get anything back though as you entered into the agreement of your own free will.
