Now usually I just delete these things but what struck me here is if they're telling the truth about how long it takes its only just slightly above minimum wage per hour for the UK.

Usually with scams you get the "work as much as you want and earn 5K a week" bull but here they're only offering £300 a month

Or could this just be the "unique selling point" of this scam?

Cheers guys.

The Average text message is between 1-2 KB so only having up to 5KB to do per day is easy isn't it especially with Google Translator(if required).

I wonder if you do 20KB per day will you get 4 times the amount each month?

1KB is 1024 characters, or roughly one A4 page of cursive script.

If this was a spam mail it is definitely a scam...
