Is this online part-time job a potential scam?

Hi, recently I was introduced to a person overseas. She told me about online part time job to give reviews and so on.

I dunno if it's a scam or not. The point is that I need to purchase membership or account to start work. What makes me overthinking is the domain that is not under shopify.com. Can you please clarify this to me?

Hi there @TimMilitaryFit 

 

Thank you for those screenshots. I can confirm that this site and person is not affiliated with Shopify in any way. This is most likely a fraudulent offer. I recommend reporting this to your local law enforcement and to report the messages you received on your messenger service as well. 

 

I was not able to make out the website URL in the screenshots you provided. Are you able to reply back with the website URL for the site you are showing? This way I can flag it with the appropriate team for a closer look. Thank you!
