I received an invitation from Proz to attend a "free" webinar about ChatGPT.
But, to attend, I need to confirm credit card information.
Also, the invitation has two typos.
""Registration instructions: the course is free to attend but you need to follow the "payment" steps to sign up. That said, click on the button below, and then choose your ProZ.com Wallet as a payment method and follow the steps. Do not hesitate to email at *******[email protected]*******...

Just select 'Proz.com wallet' as the payment method. Because it is free, you won't be charged. None of the other payment options will work anyway.

The instructions say:
The course is free to attend but you need to follow the "payment" steps to sign up. That said, click on the button below, and then choose your ProZ.com Wallet as a payment method and follow the steps.
So, when you get to the screen where you select the payment method, don't fill in your credit card information, but select the last payment option on the form, named "ProZ.com Wallet".
Also, the invitation has two typos.
Yes, and it uses the words "that said" in a weird, non-native kind of way. Normally, in that position in a sentence, "that said" means "even so" or "by contrast", but the author had meant it as "therefore".

So I thought I might sign up but it just says "March 2023", no specific date, no time, so when it it?

Yes, the window title (i.e. the TITLE tag) says just "March 2023", but if you scroll down on the page, on the second screen, near the middle of the screen, it says it's 23 March 2023 at 1 PM GMT. I can't copy it, because they've put the date and time in an image instead of text. There is just so much wrong with this page and the designer of it.

Does the subject of the webinar itself not raise any questions? ProZ is supposed to be a place for professional translators, not for more-or-less "bilingual" individuals looking for a way to make money.
