Can confirm. A couple years ago, I had a Chrome extension with ~100k users; I was receiving these types of emails every week.

One of them straight up offered $10k, whether that was a real offer or not I don't know because I never replied to any of them.

I've since taken down the extension as I'm no longer maintaining it, but weirdly I still get these emails, albeit less frequently.

I had a legit $13k offer for 180k users recently (even though it looked super shady, and the result for end-users would probably have been gross).
