Investigation Briefly Complete; In collaboration with @OfclyGoodenough
I received the following email above, in my junk. I understand some may be genuine, they throw their last ditch attempt reaching out to randoms trying their best. I did not want to simply assume. Whilst Austin agreed with me their email alone seemed fishy, the website did also seem just as fishy (absolutely!). Their LinkedIn also shows a lot of employees allegedly from Venezuela, Belarus, Iran, Syria, Türkiye, Indonesia, Vietnam and the United Arab Emirates.
