[QUOTE="amplify, post: 2329899, member: 130638"] The phone number doesn't even make sense for Japan, but the register looks legit, which is probably only noticeable here (Quicca). You would have to remove the country code (81) and add a 0 to the front. Then, it'd be area code 045 for Yokohama. Except landlines have 7 digits after the area code (unless the area code is 2 digits, then it'd be followed by 8 numbers), except toll-free which is a 4 digit "area code" of 0120 followed by 6 numbers. Cell phones are the only numbers that have a 3 digit "area code" (which doesn't represent a specific geographical area) and 8 digits in length. The first thing that stuck out to me. :-P ...at least try and get a Skype/VoIP 050 number, make up a 0120/050 number, steal the actual Quicca number that is listed on the company's information (Mfro Inc.), or at the very least know the area code for in which you supposedly work (Tokyo, 03X-XXXX-XXXX) and borrow the hardest to pronounce name on the list of public figures (probably one of the executive officers as you'll butcher the R and it'll take a while for them to get him)...
