CDM Smith Graphic Designer interview questions

I applied through LinkedIn. They contacted me via email at 7am stating I must immediately contact the interviewer via google hangout or email him to reschedule my interview(which was never scheduled in the first place). Then I did contact the interviewer, it ended up being an instant messaging interview. Despite knowing this was not professional I continued in hoping this was legitimate. The position I applied for was at the Virginia Beach location, but in the interview was a remote position. The interview lasted an hour and was offered the position via instant message on google hangout 30min later. I was sent an offer of employment contract that was poorly written and again raising many red flags. He explained I would receive a form of payment to buy my necessities for my at home office to begin training the following week. I tried to contact HR, Recruiting team, as well as head of recruiting to report this as a spam or verify if this is the way they do things. I would get a human then be forwarded to a voicemail where they would contact me later. All the while I am receiving emails from the interviewer. I am not responding as I am aware this is a scam or they don’t have good business practices. I received an obvious fake check for a large amount. Not only does it have a signature of someone I have not had contact with, it has multiple addresses, they misspell my name multiple times. Overall I do not appreciate the run around since I am simply trying to report the scam, but again maybe it is just their negligent way of handling potential candidates.

Applied, which was a fairly standard procedure. Delighted to receive an email requesting dates and times to schedule a phone interview. Responded promptly with the requested information, and received no further communication, even after a follow up email reiterating my interest in the position.
