Solicitation from Sinistar or perhaps sinister?

Received this message on VRBO.  Anyone else gotten any kind of solicitation like this?  I declined and marked it as Spam on VRBO.  

"Hi there, Hope you're having a great week so far! Reaching out from Sinistar, we're a home-sharing platform dedicated to connecting property owners like you with displaced policyholders in need of mid to long term temporary housing. We work with 25, 000+ hosts across Canada and are quickly expanding throughout North America. After reviewing your listing and reading over the glowing reviews, I thought you'd be a great fit for our community of hosts in Wisconsin. Signing up is completely free and non-binding. You'll receive rental offers when a nearby policyholder requires a temporary home, with the freedom to accept or decline them. This is a great way to make a significant impact in your community and provide a new stream of revenue in the mid-term rental space. We recognize the value of your time. To make things easier, our team can set up your host account. What would be the best email for us to reach out at? You can use this format when providing your email: JethroXsinistarYca, (replace X with @ while Y is a DOT ) Just let me know, Jethro."
