I had the same experience with book marketing scammers when I was promoting my comic book in amazon kindle circles and that was what made me stop promoting the kindle version.
I have another lifehack for you. Whenever you see replies with long dash in them " —" like the third reply in your screenshot, know that is chat GPT reply.
Great post, Andrew. I found your site after we connected here on Goodreads. It's refreshing to see another fantasy author focusing on authentic connection over spam. If you're ever open to beta reading exchanges with other authors in the genre, check out my work. Cheers, Alexander Rops

Whoa! Not always. I use em dashes a lot, even in emails. I do see your point, however.
I'm getting inundated with promoters all Amazon related. It takes 3 emails and then one gets generic information. A lot is auto-bot written. I asked this woman from somewhere, who's on about herself her brilliance her testimonies their testimonies gushing verbose adjectives and adverbs, then wanting $10 to do a forensics on my website to increase traffic like she's got The Algorithm that beats all the others. Then says I can be promoted on her newsletter. So I ask for a URL or screenshot and got this weird auto-bot reply that makes no sense. We attract stranger entities then my sci fi has thought of. Haven't paid anything but they do go on. And no matter the source, the messages seemed cloned. So it's delete delete delete. Ditto getting reviewed. I haven't bought a book yet based on a review. Liked what the others wrote. THAT helps heaps. Good work.

On the bright side, all other Amazon offerings like free publishing, my books available on their site, printing, audiobooks, and support have made this a VERY positive path because I was able to reach more than I could ever have in person and meet some truly excellent people.
All the best & blessings be.
