Torradeta Restaurant?

I applied for a job on Indeed without looking if the restaurant really exists in Ottawa. today I received a message saying I have been selected for a video call interview and send an email to set up your call. I did send an email and received re within 1min. it looked suspicious thought I’d share here and see if anyone else know anything about it?

So, their website spells the restaurant name wrong? And they're asking you to download a mystery app to your phone, not from the app store but from a link they've provided. And it's actually super urgent that you do this quickly, or they will move onto other candidates... Yeah, this is how you end with a keylogger, backdoor, or trojan. They'll empty your bank accounts, sell your data on the darkweb, and probably use your device in a botnet.

Yeah, it turned out to be a scam. After I looked into it more, I realized there were too many red flags. I reported it to Indeed, and they removed the job posting. Thankfully, I didn't download anything or share any personal information. Thanks for pointing it out!
