The simple answer is that they probably had no intention of hiring you, or anybody, in the first place.
The amount of fake job listings is absurd.
Why do they bother wasting time on interviewing the person though? Or does it never get that far?
We really need a regulation on job openings being real. Each interview costs the candidate roughly one PTO day.
Mandating something like a minimum of 40:1 interviews to extended offers should correct for at least the worst offenses.
