"James L.
Business proposition
Dear Charlie, Good day, I am James Larkins and i would like to bring to your notice an alluring Business proposition/Job Position. Fuji Electric Co. Ltd is currently running a recruitment program in North America and Canada. If Interested, for more info contact the HR officer via email;[email protected] James Larkins Recruiter at Fuji Electric."
I replied back stating I was interested, but wanted to see if we could have a chat to prove the legitimacy of this "business proposition". I never heard back from "James L., Recruiter". I emailed to the email address, [email protected], insuring about the position. I received a reply early the next morning supposedly from a Yuuto Hashimoto with an attachment wanting me to fill out some information about myself and attach a passport photo to the "Representative Intake Form". Below is that email message.
"Hello Charlie,
You are receiving this email because you have requested for more information on an inquiry previously sent to you for a business partnership and job position in North America from our company. Note that no form of start-up investment is required for this position.

We seek the services of a competent individual or business establishment to act as our regional offshore liaison officer in North America. The need for regional offshore liaison officer became necessary as we started experiencing delays in receiving payment from some of our customers in your region due to differences in banking laws or restrictions on international wires.

The current debt owed to us by vendors in North America is over $9,807,614.20 which we are currently trying to recover. To make your job position less cumbersome, most of the payments made through you will be disbursed within the states as directed by us where we currently have on-going projects.

The response raised some red flags for me, therefore, I wanted to actually look into the company more. The one major flag was the email was coming from [email protected]. I googled fuji-electrics.com got an error stating there was no server with that domain, which means there was no web host serving to fuji-electrics.com. I contacted the actual Fuji Electric company. Their headquarters are in New Jersey. I asked to speak with someone in HR. They were out of the office, but was given a phone number and email. The email I was given had a different domain than what the recruiting email came from. The recruiter email was @fuji-electrics.com and the email for the true company I was given was @fujielectric.com. This validated my suspicion. I also did a reverse lookup of the IP address for the [email protected] email came from, 77.88.31.17, which traced back to Russia.
Warning to others. Please make sure you keep your guard high and investigate these types of "business propositions" or job offers that come in to your email address and Social Messaging Inboxes on LinkedIn and Facebook.
