Job offer from Cloudera - boost product marketing by pressing buttons on website ... is this real?

Question

Hi, I have been contacted by Cloudera for a job where I sign up for training and then press buttons on a screen to leave positive reviews for various products. The screen is this:

I have been invited to a WhatsApp group but whenever I ask for details to verify that this is a real job the people get very defensive. I was called paranoid and aggressive because I asked for linkedIn profiles or GlassDoor reviews etc. I have also been told by my contact that all of the income is tax free and the original person who contacted me has since deleted their Telegram account.

Can anyone confirm whether this is a real job, please?
