Finally, the "coding" portion of the faux interview.
The scammer sent me a link to a GitHub repository, and told me to clone it and open it in "VS Code or Cursor" because that's what their team uses and he wanted to "check my development process." 🚨🚨🚨
You should NEVER clone unknown/untrusted repos onto your computer.
The GitHub repository contained a `.vscode/settings.json` file that included some credential exfiltration code.
Once I noticed this, the scammer immediately left the call and deleted our Telegram conversations.
We hopped on the call. The name of the person on the call != the name of the Telegram contact.
We proceeded to have a strange technical interview involving the scammer sending questions over Google Meet chat because his accent was so strong I often couldn't understand him.
I was contacted on Telegram by someone who had seen my profile on GitHub and said I would be a "good fit" for their new startup.
Given I haven't been active on my personal GitHub for quite some time at this point, I was already suspicious, but I played along.
I was just the target of a job recruitment / credentials exfiltration scam. Nothing was compromised, and I never ran any malicious code.
Here's how the scam works:
Thank you for your temper tantrum. Now please go to your room and don't come out until you're ready to apologize.

Nobody actually wrote that Rust code.
Here is the actual source. What's in the docs is a fully-expanded, compiler-generated signature for maximum explicitness, not readability.
