May I let my person in charge forward fully details to your Whatsapp, we have many different positions from different industries.You can check the details then decide .Is that ok?

I immediately understood nature of this charlatanism.
Few uneducated guesses on why it is certainly a scam
They state that no contract is required (hence they aren't contractually obliged for anything, therefore they also cannot be held legally responsible without aforementioned obligations.

Also any form of communication from such entities that includes elements such as crypto wallet/s and "too good to be true" salaries are definitely a scam.

I did received a message fro Isabelle Lauren from 4477787585565 and she referred me to one Rebecca at 447435391671. this rebecca says she is a russian [ but my assessment is that she is a chinese - using google translation to english]. she was asking me to registered to www.uk-marketo.com. I did a research and noted that the company registration is fake.
she also said that I would receive usd 15 cash back , when registered. the cash back did appear. But I am not sure what is the exact scam or what they are trying achieve. please share your comments.
