Scam Description

The scammer reached out as a “recruiter” with an employment opportunity and asked for my Skype info to send to their HR team. They immediately sent a message over Skype and stated they would be conducting the interview through messages, then proceeded to ask for my “name, sex, and location”. Which is incredibly odd but I proceeded with the interview anyway- not telling them my gender or exact location. Most questions seemed like legit interview questions, however, one of the questions asked who I banked with and what phone provider I use.
When I asked why that was necessary to know as that didn’t pertain to myself or the company, they stopped responding.
I immediately blocked them on Skype and looked them up on BBB.
Surprise, they don’t exist.
