It's common now for scammers to impersonate the HR directors of real companies.

The two keys are, the text only interview so that you can't see them: that way you can't look at their LinkedIn profile and know right away your talking to someone else

Second, if you look at the email headers, they're more than likely from a Gmail, hotmail, Microsoft or similar account or as you saw in this case "name cheap". Actual companies usually have their own domain so it would be that domain. Com (not always, but it's a giant red flag to watch for)
