WARNING: job offer scheme

There is a guy from Greece trying to offer a First Officer job on a Citation Excel based in Skavsta, Sweden: three years term, US$ 5,500 per month tax-free plus lots of benefits.
The employment offer is subject to a acceptable simulator check done in Athens, Greece but they want up front cash money for the type rating in the amount of US$ 9,870.
I received the employment offer via fax and those are the names involved:

Aker Navigation Company Ltd.
12 Place de la Madeleine
Paris, France

President - John Freeman

Aviation Department - Chief Pilot Capt. Mike Griffith

After verifying with the French and the Greek Embassy I could not found anything about this company and nobody in Skavsta, Sweden, knows about a company with Citation Excel. Of course mr. Freeman did not give me any phone number to call in Sweden or even the chief pilot.
Please, be advised of anything close to this kind of job offer because they surely do it in different ways changing names and places.

Sounds similar to a scam highlighted on PPRUNe a couple of years back. Again a Citation job, again the offer came via fax requesting some money up front only this time the jet was 'based' in Finland.
