I was initially contacted about a potential job via text message and then asked to contact them via Microsoft Teams for an interview. They used a legitimate company as a front, so I wasn't sure at first if it was real. I had a feeling that I was chatting with AI and when the initial texter assured me I wasn't and was a little forceful about telling me to keep talking to them, I grew more suspicious. Responses to my texts as well as slight grammatical errors gave me a bad feeling about it. When they asked about my credit card limits during a job interview, I was sure it was a scam and researched the name of the person and found similar reports of scams under this name. I blocked them before I could find out what their end game was, based on the conversation, I believe they would have gone on to ask for my bank account details for "direct deposit" as well as my credit card details because they stated they sometimes pay off employee credit card debt which is ridiculous.
