Amazon job and the idea of steady reliable paycheck

Has anyone rented to a warehouse associate at Amazon? Their offer letter says the job is temporary and at will. I've heard various negative feedback about working in an Amazon Warehouse at $16/hr. The offer letter is on Amazon letterhead but has several glaring spell errors and no signature of the supervisor. Wondering if its a fake.

Contact Amazon and verify employment. Do not use the phone number provided by the applicant because it could be a fake number going to a friend.

    Hi, Jane,

    I have not rented to a warehouse associate at Amazon, but the red flag for me, even more than the spell errors, is the fact that the letter states the job is "temporary."  Is there a phone number or email on the letter that you can verify employment?

    I have seen on Facebook where they advertise fake letters and fake phone referrals this is very common. If I cannot get the employers HR from google, on the phone its a no go.

    thanks everyone I disqualified them. The wife said "he can call Amazon and make his job permanent." What planet is she living on?? Fed up with these fakers.
