Scam Type: Employment Scam / Identity Harvesting Scam Website: https://csjso.com/ (now offline) Scammer Phone Numbers: +1 (928) 377-9450 +1 (539) 203-1074 Company Being Impersonated: Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (false use of name and branding) Description of the Scam: I was contacted by individuals using U.S. phone numbers who claimed to be recruiters and HR representatives for “Mitsui & Co., Ltd.” They offered a supposed online “AI training job” with unrealistic pay ($200–$1000 daily). The scammers sent a fake “Recruitment Agreement” PDF and attempted to collect personal information including name, age, city, gender, occupation, and phone number. Both scammers directed me to a fraudulent registration website: https://csjso.com/ The site was designed to harvest victim information and has since gone offline after reports. Victims were pressured to register immediately, provide screenshots, and submit personal data. The entire operation was a coordinated identity-harvesting scheme disguised as a job opportunity. Details of Initial Contact: +1 (928) 377-9450 — claimed to be a recruiter offering the position. +1 (539) 203-1074 — claimed to be HR staff providing a registration code and instructions. Both used identical scripts, templates, and fake documentation. They pushed urgently for registration on the fake job portal. Red Flags Identified: Job offers sent through random phone numbers Request to register on an unknown website Fake recruitment document impersonating Mitsui Unverified claims of high income ($200–$1000/day) Pressure to send screenshots Personal information requested upfront Disposable VoIP numbers Website taken down shortly after reporting Actions Taken: Reported phishing domain to Google Safe Browsing Filed abuse reports with the phone carriers Documented all evidence (screenshots, timestamps, scam script) Verified the website is now offline Did not provide personal information or money Impact: No financial loss. This report is being submitted to help protect other consumers from this fraudulent job-recruitment scheme. Consumer Advice: Treat any unsolicited job offer you receive outside of trusted job search platforms (such as Indeed, LinkedIn, or official company career pages) as highly suspicious. Legitimate recruiters typically contact candidates through professional channels or after an application has been submitted. If you receive an unexpected job offer, always perform proper due diligence: Look up the company on Google to verify it exists and is legitimate. Check the business record on OpenCorporates or your state’s corporate registry. Compare contact information with the official website. Review the company’s official social media pages for consistency. Cross-reference names, positions, and job postings. If anything looks inconsistent, pressured, or too good to be true, do not share personal information and do not proceed.
