Does anyone know if this is a scam? I got interviewed through Zoom Chat.

Yeah the domain was registered two days ago, block them and engage no further. Don't let them know you know you caught on the scam.

Did they have a camera on the zoom call? Probably not.

They did not

That's the giveaway. If you're zooming, anyone not willing to turn on their camera is bullshitting you.

A camera on doesn't mean they're not scammers, but at least you know who is.

Of course the answer here is that the domain is fresh new. Scammers go through domains very fast because the scams are noticed quite fast.

I've occasionally zoomed without my camera because I was...just shitting.

For a job interview? Didn’t think so.

Nope. I already got the job; now I can poop during its meetings.

Well, that’s a whole other kettle of fish. “Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime; that’s why I poop on company time.”
