I wouldn't say that it is fraudulent but it is not a high quality journal or publisher and its not clear that it is indexed by the major indexers. .
Dear Corrado Mollica It is not fake in the sense that the journal and the message in the mail is real/existing. However, the publisher behind this journal is predatory. The red flags are for example:
-The publisher is mentioned in the Beall’s list: https://beallslist.net/
-They lie about their real location. See: https://www.emeraldcityjournal.com/2016/05/science-publishing-group-a-complete-scam/
-There are numerous issues, see for example: http://flakyj.blogspot.com/2017/01/science-publishing-group-sciencepg.html and http://flakyj.blogspot.com/search/label/SciencePG
This publisher is discussed numerous times here on RG, see for example:

Dear Michael J. Benedik indeed despite the fact that they apparently exist already ten years none of the 115 (!)/300+ journals have a serious indexing (Scopus, Clarivate’s indices like ESCI and SCIE, PubMed etc.).
In conclusion: avoid.
Best regards.
Dear Rob Keller
Thank you very much for your very comprehensive answer!
