Answered a Craigslist ad for a writing gig. The man responded back and I wanted to make sure there is no risk involved. Is this a scam? See message below.
It’s easy work, and for $4 per review (a minute or two of work), we believe that it’s a great deal. As the work is on-going, the money can rack up. Payment is always the same day.
Once the review has been submitted, you should tell me the name that you left the review under, and also your Paypal email address. Then the first payment will be issued.
We do require your email address if were are going to send you payments

I'm not sure but since he's only asking for your paypal email address and that ther work is only a few minutes, I guess you could try doing one job and see if you get paid. If you do, then keep doing it, if you don't, you should see if there is any spam or phishing emails in your inbox.
