Hello

The first issue with this is - If you post fake engagement / reviews for POI's on Google Maps and get caught , your account could end up being removed / deleted / banned.

The rating system is there for genuine reviews and impressions.

Second issue - if they are getting you to break the rules by participating in posting fake reviews to POI's , then yes of course it's a bloody scam.

Furthermore and Unfortunately , by giving them personal information , you've opened yourself up to being targeted by even more scammers and phishing attempts.

Lastly 

They will never pay you for doing it, REPEAT you will never be paid for doing it.

FYI = Can you also delete the screenshot in your above post.
