Yes. It's a scam. He wants a "trial video" recording of 26 PAGES (10600+ words). You'll need to record and edit an hour and a half of content, edit everything, be on camera, etc. for only $35. It's robbery.

Even at the minimum of 1c per word, you should be getting paid 3 times as much. His response? "It’s a free market, if you think the price is unreasonable that’s fine you can decline"

What a joke. Stay away from this guy. He just wants to exploit people. That's all.
