And here's the home page of their website:
Looks very professional, doesn't it? But it's all an entire scam!! They're just hoping that you will register or "the job" and give them all kinds of confidential information. Scary, scary, scary!I looked up who registered this site. It's some fellow [apparently] in Spain:
