What's odd is I will need to download Telegram, set up my account using my email and phone number, and add the interviewer in the App. I was also provided an verification code for the interview process.
Does this seem like a scam?
Thanks.
Contact the company and ask them. You need to include some sort of reason that's plausible if this is legit -- you don't want to sound like you think their business practices are whacky! Maybe say something like you've heard recently of cases of scammers impersonating legit companies, and would they mind confirming that Sam Jones who contacted you is really their employee?
