Interview was over Telegram, which is pretty unheard of so I was skeptical but went through with the process. Easy interview with generic questions. Received an offer shortly after. Interviewer wasn't forthcoming with what the actual work would be or for what client.

The interview was done over Telegram (texting), so it was a bit dubious from the start. I decided to be respectful and treat it like a regular interview anyway. The interview questions were very straightforward and easy, and I received an offer on the same day. The interviewer, however, was very unprofessional and generally dismissive/evasive of my own questions about the company. Not very honest with the 401k plan, PTO, or alleged benefits that they offered me, so that was a huge red flag. They refused to communicate over email or seriously answer my questions about the contract, which I was naturally going through out of due diligence. I can only assume the offer was recinded because they deleted our entire message history from Telegram without any warning. The "erasure of their tracks", coupled with their reluctance to communicate over email, leaves me to wonder if the person I was communicating with was actually from the company or if the company even exists at all.
