Journal of Scientific Research and Reports is an original journal or predatory journal and please check the URL https://journaljsrr.com/index.php/JSRR
As they prompt for money repeatedly, I got this doubt.

Dear Dr N B Shridhar Although it looks indeed a bit sloppy all those different “editor.20” e-mail addresses I think they are legit (see for example https://eprints.uad.ac.id/50856/1/Kores%20AYu%20Sandi.pdf ). When I Googled around I found more 'editor.number' kind of e-mails related to ScienceDomain.
When it comes to the journal you can look here https://www.researchgate.net/post/Can-I-trust-Sciencedomain-International-publishing-Group-I-please-inform-me-details-aboutScience-domain (at for example my reply of September 21st 2020) what is said about the publisher behind this journal.
When it comes to the journal “Journal of Scientific Research and Reports” all I can add is:
-Their indexing info https://journaljsrr.com/index.php/JSRR/abstracting-indexing mentions one so-called misleading metrics (https://beallslist.net/misleading-metrics/ ) called CiteFactor, this is a bit of a negative sign but real predatory journals list way more of these fake metrics
-Their NAAS Score is legit (https://naas.org.in/NJS/journals2024.pdf ) This is a positive sign. The NAAS score has some credibility when it comes to indexing (like UGC-CARE, HEC etc.)
When it comes to their payment request, I guess they want to ensure (by sending the same message from different e-mails) that you really receive it. If the amount is correct (according to what they say here https://journaljsrr.com/index.php/JSRR/publication-charge ) then I guess it is more or less okay.
Back to your question: (like the publisher) I tent to think this journal is not a predatory journal. Although it lacks indexing in Scopus and Clarivate’s indexes (ESCI, SCIE and SSCI), their NAAS Score is somewhat reassuring.
Best regards.
