“The website mentioned above is using data copied from Komatsu's official website without granted permission or authority.”
Komatsu added that it never uses free, web-based email accounts, such as Outlook.com, Gmail.com, Yahoo.com, or requests via an email a payment of money in relation to the hiring process.
