Shrewd or Rude?

So I called this place that I found an for a job in the newspaper.



There was a company email address, but the website in the address didn't exist. It was like this to apply contact tina@companyname.com I took the website out of the address, but nothing came up.



There was also a phone number listed in the ad. When I called the place they wouldn't give any info unless I gave a name. Hello! Red Flag.



My mom overheard the conversation I was having over the phone with the company. It totally sounded like a scam.
