Sorry OP you had to go through this - not knowing your circumstances, but golden rule, once the interview starts getting invasive, please cut it short and move on.
Recently I had an interview for a contract position. First off, it was a zoom interview where the interviewer did not have his camera on.
He promptly asks me to share my screen - which I found odd, since I had no content to share with him.
Next - he tells me to go the top right screen of my mac and asks me to disable bluetooth.
I said am not going to do it, since I had my airpods connected and within the next second I also told him am not interested in proceeding with this BS interview.
There are boundaries of human decency, which you should never let anyone cross.
Had something similar happen.
I get on the zoom call. Told it would be a general interview and same thing. No camera, then asked me to show my drivers license and social security card to prove my identification.
I asked why they needed this in the first interview. He stammered back and forth and then reiterated the interview would not go forward until I confirmed my identity by showing my drivers license and SS card.
Yeah, sorry bud, that's not happening and hung up. I kept wondering how many others got taken by this scam.
