Why do you think it is a scam?

Benefits for an IC, for one.

This Essential Shop Evaluators does not show up in any valid reviews, just an old post on here referring to a check scam with similar sounding name. I do not trust companies that do not have a solid web presence.

And that phone number, it is linking to a vacation rental link...

Run like hell

Thank you for confirming that I was on the right track by running away fast. But I thought I would share just in case anyone else ended up getting a similar e-mail. Also I googled the company and the website on the surface looks active but the links don't work.

Try using Duck Duck Go for your searches so you won't be tracked. Also, Ad Blocker add on is great. I get almost no spam/scam emails or ads.
