Clicking on external links (Scam?)

An agency asked me to click on a google docs link to get to the job details- Is this normal? I'm trying to decide if it's a scam or not. 

 

Other evidence pointing to the scam is the canned, robotic responses, and no acknowledgement or response to what I had replied. 

 

Thank you, more experienced community.

Opening a link through a proxy does not protect you - it just lets you access blocked things.

Opening things in a sandbox protects you to a degree.

 

Jonathan, is the client new? Do they have a hiring history? Do you actually want to work with someone who gives robotic responses?

 

It is not unusual to find instructions on a google doc or similar as such, no.
