Scam contentsScammer impersonating a Japanese company and offering fake jobs.
Comment / ReviewFake jobs can go a number of ways, but usually can result in:

1) Fake check scam - the scammer will claim you need to deposit a (fake) check in your bank then send money elsewhere - often for fake work equipment to their "trusted vendors". May also ask for your personal information like driver's license, ID, passport photo etc to be used in identity thief

2) Money Laundering or being a parcel mule
- sending stolen goods to your address
- sending stolen money to your bank account or any financial/crypto accounts you are given or told to open
- asking you to use the funds to then buy gift cards or crypto, leaving you the "fall guy" should authorities investigate

Needless to say any money you send will not be refunded and you can get in trouble with your bank or legal trouble with law enforcement.
