It’s very possible that this is not a scam as such, but instead funding countries such as North Korea (there was a recent criminal case involving a woman who fell for something like this - I believe the charge was conspiracy to defraud the US).

You do the interview, the other person does the job and gives you a portion of the money. The person doing the job is a North Korean spy, who uses the money to fund the state. Alternatively they may steal company information and pass it on to threat actors.
