Post title: It is a scam, most likely.
I was once asked to translate a "test sample" by a translation company which, as it turned out, cut the text they got from a client, and asked a number of translators who responded to the ad (on Proz, by the way) to do the other samples. And, yes, you guessed it, they almost succeeded in getting the whole job for the client done for free.
