This person contacted me via email saying that they had found my resume via LinkedIn, and wanted to provide me with a job interview. I added this "Mr. Nakatani" on Skype and proceeded to have a detailed text interview (no voice call). After about 3 days of correspondence, they offered me a job at an amazingly high rate (about double the industry standard). I then noticed that the domain from which the emails came from (@jcomjp.co) is different from the ACTUAL company's domain (@jcom.co.jp). This is a blatant phishing attempt to trick users into revealing personal information, as they asked for photocopies of my driver's license and bank account information. If you get an offer that is too good to be true, IT IS.
By the way, most interesting thing about this is that the scammer used a REAL company and the name of a REAL executive at the company. However, the Skype avatar used is fake. The REAL Hiroyuki Nakatani at J:COM looks nothing like this Skype avatar. Attached to this post are the imposter Skype avatar used and some real, candid photos of the actual man being impersonated.
