Offshorer offshores

Got an email from the subcontinent yesterday. Chap sent me a spec, and asked me how much I'd charge to do the needful. I looked at the properties of the spec (it was in MS Word), and found the name of the Canadian company for whom this chap is doing the work. And the team lead who wrote the spec.

What to do, what to do?

If the person who contacted you is from a reputable company, I would go through him first. You never know how many opportunities that may lead from this in the future. However, if the person contacted you sounds a bit dodgy, then go direct and hope for the best.
