How did they contact you? It sounds like you may be talking to a scammer pretending to be from there.

LinkedIn. The guy seems legit and sent legit links afterwards. But it all seems like an overkill, I've gone thru the Amazon process and it's kind of similar. But they're not Amazon.

Love Toptal. It cleared up my facial warts.

Update: what a waste of time. The recruiter from the other side of the world didn't even know what a copywriter is, thought it was just about writing emails and SEO.
