Fraud Alert: Kadence International Warns Against Scams Misusing Its Name

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TOKYO, JAPAN

Kadence International has recently become aware of fraudulent activity involving the unauthorized use of its name and branding by individuals or groups posing as representatives of the company. These fraudsters are circulating misleading messages through WhatsApp and other platforms, falsely offering remote job opportunities in exchange for money or personal details.

We categorically state that Kadence International is in no way affiliated with these scams. We do not solicit money from individuals in exchange for employment opportunities, nor do we recruit via WhatsApp group chats or similar informal channels. Any such claims are false and malicious.

These phishing schemes have the potential to cause serious financial loss, identity theft, and emotional distress. Scammers may request payments, virtual currency, or banking details, and they often operate via unofficial channels using fake websites and impersonated profiles.

Kadence International is cooperating with the relevant authorities and urges anyone who has received such messages to report the incident through official fraud reporting systems.

What to Look Out For

• Job offers requiring payment upfront
• Recruitment via WhatsApp or Telegram groups
• Requests for personal or banking details
• Suspicious email addresses or websites mimicking Kadence branding
