I deal with companies from all over the world and you have to remember that English isn't everyone's first langugage and they are doing the best they can. So in this case, they left out the word "the". Not a red flag in my books.
@WideCuriosity6 ай бұрын
"Share us", wasn't ideal either. But yes, these days bad grammar is commonplace, except from established companies wishing to build and retain a decent reputation. However you both did, good, to spot it.

For me, the fact that the PDF is password locked is enough of a red flag. For those who don’t know, hackers password lock their files as an attempt to bypass scanning services (like VT), since those services can’t view the file properly until it’s unlocked.
