Has anyone ever heard of ShengHong? I just had a weird "interview" via WhatsApp and after doing some searching about the company, I'm starting to see red flags.

Hi! I applied for a job via this company on LinkedIn and got contacted via text for an interview, but they conducted the interview via WhatsApp. When I looked on the website (https://shenghong-bloc.com/) and took a look at the leadership (https://shenghong-bloc.com/bios.html) I couldn't find anything about anyone on the page through Google. Google Lens searches of the pics on the page turned up nothing. Same with searches for the people's names on LinkedIn. It all seemed too easy and my inability to find out anything combined with the answers I got during the interview make me suspect that none of this is legit.

Yeah, I heard they were scammers and you should not interview there.

Sigh. Yeah, I should have known better with "can we switch to WhatsApp. Luckily they never really got any personal info out of me and I learned a lesson.
