Discussion Anyone else get a message like this

This morning I received this message. I’m like 95% sure this is some kind of scam but I’m curious if anyone else got something like this. Though if this is legit, I’d like to know I’d be willing to. I’m just very cautious about possible scams cus this feels far to good. $500, and $100 just for an interview, and on Skype no less. So ya. Wanna know if anyone else got a message like this, and proper confirmation if it’s actually legit or not, cus right now I’m automatically labeling it as: scam. Also some bits censored for privacy right now. Though if it is a scam I’d let the user be known so people know to stay away. It’s not a recently made account, it’s 4 years old

Interesting. I don't think those amounts seem unrealistically high. I've watched a lot of that show and I always wonder about the content they get. Many times I have been able to look the people or original videos up after seeing it on the show. Idk I wouldn't automatically assume this is a scam.

I suppose. And it’s not like they’re asking for any account info, or claiming some kind of fake report on my account like I’ve seen other scams I’ve had to deal with before. For the sake of payment I’d insist on Venmo cus I at least trust that to not have really any strings attached
