I have recently posted that I had 3 opportunities, the first one I am almost hired, I went to an interview to the employer offices and that's ok. For the second one, I have been contacted by email and then by phone, I am waiting, no avail. The third one... Need advice please. I have been contacted through Linkedin, the person who contacted me tells me general statements for a very specific engineering job position in a good company, but this would be a third party company looking for candidates. I have been researching in Linkedin, there is nobody with this name. This person told me to do a course in an engineering software to prepare the interview (red flag). I have been contacted by phone to "reserve a day to practice" and I don't know why, probably I was busy at this time I "reserved" for monday. I don't like this, I don't like this at all and I am feeling bad, trully bad and trully stupid, why I am so stupid? I should never do this...
Give me advice, this is turning to be a serious issue.
Thank you for your opinion, I am ignoring it. The first step was to cancel "the reservation to practice" since I think I have better things to do at this moment, working in my final thesis until I start to work on 6th August if everything goes well. I need to finish the Masters Degree as soon as possible, so as we can move if necessary.

Foreign recruiters from India scamming foreign grad students from Latin America.
Who would have thought?
I don't know... I am now based in Spain, I am from this country and recruiter seems to be spaniard as well, but I get the idea, in this country with the financial crisis there are tons of scams.
Hi, just an update... Today I got a call from them: why you did not take the course? Congratulations... we will give you an offer, at that moment I was thinking the worst scenario, a job offer without even a job interview with one of the best engineering firms here? I don't know if I handle it well, I told them I can't accept, I am no longer interested, the person who contacted me started to reply in a rude/angry mood, that I am turning down a good opportunity, that I can't do it with this company, that I am closing doors... I don't know if I did well but I didn't like all of these...

EDITED/UPDATE: Anyway I've just got the confirmation with the first employer, I will start on 6th August as planned, I don't care about that thing then...
