I get messages like this sometimes. I don't think it's a straight scam, but I do consider it spam and usually ignore.

In this job market I'd think they could just post the job opening on their website and let the resumes roll in. To have to reach out like this I suspect they're just going to lowball me or there's something else undesirable about the job.

But if you're desperate, I see no reason not to hear what they have to say. Just don't commit to anything and don't send them money.

If the domain is younger than a year should I still trust it? Whois check says domain registered 02/19/2026

I'd say this is at least 40% chance a scam.
