| Called Otsuka Europe to confirm this is a scam | Aug 9, 2023 |
I was close to signing the paperwork, but the letterhead was super suspicious looking and unprofessional. I called Otsuka Europe and they do not use Telegram in their work and could not identify the person that I was corresponding with. I warned them that someone was using their name to hire interpreters under false pretenses. When I told the "HR person" who I was talking to that this was a scam, his picture immediately disappeared and status changed to "last seen a long time ago." Very strange....

From this email, it seemed to me so legit. I signed an NDA. Then they told me to contact this person for an interview (Skype ID: live:.cid.4b78123c6a9177eb) or His name (Jonathan Carlos).
This latter asked for $550, as fees for installing some tracking software!!! And of course "I showed them the middle finger".

I received a very similar email to those you are all sharing.
