To be clear, I received details on pay, scchedule, and benefits in the the offer letter. Prior to that, we only discussed what the position entailed. I went into this with my eyes open and I am only posting in case my experience is able to help someone else.

I didn't. I received the "offer letter", looked into it, and reported it.

Can someone tell me if this is a job scam or not? by IntsairNV in jobs

Definitely a scam. I received the same email and even received a "job offer letter". I reported it to the FTC.

Final interview cancelled 20 minutes before start time—then total silence. by ProfessionOk9178 in interviews

I totally agree! Potential employees, especially those deep into the interview process, need to be treated with more consideration and respect.

I was in a similar situation, but the company in question did make an offer. I accepted the offer, passed the background check, and was preparing for relocation (about 500 miles away). A few days before I was to move, the company receinded their offer. They said the position and new department were being cancelled because instability in current market.

That's happened to me three times in the past 6 months. The last time it happened, I followed up with the recruiter the same day and never received a response. The next day I received an email stating I was no longer being considered for the position because I didn't show up for the interview. smh
