[Job board] StarOfService S.A.S.

Anyone heard of this "service"? https://starofservice.zendesk.com
It purports to be a link service between writers and editors and other professionals. No doubt it will ask for fees.
I had a second email this morning, offering me work from someone that I know isn't in my village but they say is. (I'm very rural and would have heard of them if they were within a 5 mile radius.) The cold email approach and 2022 date on the web site don't bode well.

I suspect it's a knock off site. If you Google, there is a business called Star of Service, but it's a bit more professional.

A legitimate business can afford its own domain.

https://www.starofservice.co.uk/is the web site their links refer to.
This bunch are not very efficient. I have another email this morning trying to get me to work with a (male) client "in" my area, who is called Joanna and lives 300 miles away. Book size and cover type specified but nothing about the content!
Says a good deal about their approach to the matter.
