Thanks for checking in with us. That's definitely not from us.
We're actually not involved in that part of the hiring process. Employers handle things like who they're going to hire, and you'll always be able to find them via their ad on the site.
You can read more details on these kinds of things and people pretending to be SEEK here: https://www.seek.com.au/security-privacy/current-scams
Best thing to do is delete them, and not reply at all.

Cyber Security Consultant
Yes, that is a scam. more commonly known as the job/task scam where the benefits seems to good to be true, the work hours completely flexible, but their English may not be as polished as what your used too. They will most of the time, require you to be paid in USD and if they use the words 'data optimisation', 'increasing SEO metrics' then run the other way and report it to cybercrime online.
They rely on the 'Sunken Cost' theory. Don't go sinking anything into it.
