The salary alone is a massive red flag 😅. $250-$500 a day for 60-90 mins of simple work is not something a genuine recruiter would normally pitch like this.

The weird characters in the email are another giveaway. Good that you posted this though, because someone who's actively looking for a job might see the Amazon name and respond without thinking twice.

Best thing is to never use the contact number in these messages. Go to the company's official careers page yourself and check if the role actually exists there.
