Reported as early as 2020 by the company Otsuka Medical Devices Co., Ltd, this scam appears to be a pay-to-work scam. 

The scammer(s) use company names "Otsuke Pharmaceuticals", "Otsuka Europe", "Adare Pharma Solutions", "Adare Pharmaceuticals Inc."

This type of pay-to-work scam usually consists on proposing a sort of interpreting-voiceover service, for which a special  equipment or software will be required. After dragging you through a long recruiting process, the scammer(s) will offer to put you in contact with someone who can sell you the equipment and/or software at a discount, and then disappear with your money.

Emails reported include:
