Sneaky. Playing off by being an existing studio but then deflecting to an email very much not associated to them.

Also, ICQ? Really? I thought I was the only person who could even remember their ICQ number (1050751).... That's turning the clock back a few moons.

Just wait till they figure out how to use ChatGPT to fix the spelling, grammar, and phrasing. Spam may be looking less like spam someday, aside from the very good ones out there already. I remember many years ago almost getting duped by a Citi email -- everything about it was legit, even links to privacy policy... but if you hover over the link they want you to click, that one takes you somewhere else, not Citi.

Anyway, hoping this helps if someone else gets this and questions it. I wrote Legendary and let em know.

The “responsibilities” and “qualifications” are so amateur and bogus that they clearly have NO experience in this business. Another case of stupid people trying to ensnare the unwary.
