Anyway, I had the Skype interview and nailed it. Things all looked good until today. I receivedThis is to inform you that you have been shortlisted to join our reputable organization. You will be contacted shortly with a scan copy of a contract and information to proceed.

Is it just me being suspicious or does anyone else think the whole "join or reputable organization" bit was a little odd? I just want to make sure it's not a scam and somebody wants to take me for a ride. I looked up the school and the website looks all right but I know that sometimes scammers use other's names to make it look more real. Can somebody please give me their opinion?
