Is this a scam?

So I received the following email:

"Thanks for your offer. do you agree 2 verified amazon reviews for $5? I won’t ship out the product in reality. If you agree, I’ll offer you a 100% off promo code and a shipping address (please don’t use your own address).

If you agree with it, I can order it immediately."



I don’t remember making a gig to do any amazon reviews, nor did I make any offers. In any case I wasn’t sure I understood exactly what they were saying so I responded with: "I don’t think I understand what you’re saying. Are you asking me to write two amazon reviews for you for $5.00? Did I understand correctly?"



This morning I get the following response: “yes. the review like in attach which showed Verified Purchase” and they attached a picture with an amazon review, next to the user name, it says "verified purchase."



I’m not sure if I’m being paranoid or not - better safe than sorry though. Does this sound like a scam?

Thank you!

Agree with @kjblynx. I’d avoid this - you’ll put your own Amazon account in peril by doing stuff like this. I personally couldn’t survive without amazon prime and amazon fresh 🙂

I could create throwaway accounts…I wouldn’t use my personal one.

Ok, I’ll think about it. At the end of the day though, I’m going to do what I gotta do to pay rent!
