Thank you.

Hi Ahad,

Thank you for your message. The message room will no longer be available in case the job is already removed. Please check out this post for more tips on how to avoid questionable jobs and please use the flag option found on each job post or message anytime you’d like to report a violation.

Thank you,

Pradeep

Hi: I'm having just the exact same situation and they replied with just the exact same words as if it's a bot. I believe its some kind of a malicious bot installed on the website, specially when I wrote a very long message and the reply with the interview room came in less than a second after I pressed send? Is it a scam? Is it safe to click the interview room link? Did they append some malicious code on the interview room link to steel money? How did it go? Thank you for your time.
