It got reposted, which is all that really matters. I'm sure there's some Girlboss middle manager by way of Microsoft or Amazon or Langley who will click with this.
This could easily have been chucked out with ChatGPT alongside a dozen other A/B tested solicitation strategies under other accounts with different Avis and company names.
You can't take any of this at face value. Is this company real or is it just a shell to wrangle business for an offshore bulk cert program? Is this profile real or is it a front for a bunch of hustlers in a boiler room? Is this conversation real or is it just some scripted nonsense intended to grab your attention?
I'm betting it's fake top to bottom. Six workers in Indonesia cranked it out along with a thousand other profiles during a 12 hour $20 shift. Responding to it would be as wise as answering a call to Scam Likely and immediately blurting out your SSN.
Pretty sure the "you" in the post you're responding to is the "you as in one as in some hypothetical person" and not "you as in UnderpantsWeevil" -- perhaps not but I've definitely been in this change where I use "you" instead of "one" and had people jump all over me for attacking the op.
