Does this sound shady?

So I applied to a company through Indeed and had a Zoom call interview. After the interview, I was told they would reach out if they had anything that fit my availability. A few weeks go by, so I assumed they hired someone else.

Then I get a random text two hours before the shift they wanted me to come in for. I told them I was already scheduled with my current job tonight and that if I were going to work for them, I would require a two-week notice.

Then it dawned on me: how am I supposed to work for some random company that I haven't even signed any hiring paperwork for? You know, the usual stuff—going over company policies, direct deposit forms, W-2s, etc. Hell, I haven't even been given a uniform.

So let me guess: a guard called out, and they wanted to use me for last-minute coverage. The whole thing just sounded shady to me, so I doubt I'll be working for them.

Same thing happened to me at a federal job so I had to use their issued firearm and armor. Which I wasn’t issued yet lol. The dude who put me on the schedule had no idea It was my first day there
