I think none of us expected it was real. Except you, of course.
 

We cannot deny that education is the key to success but education
actually worked for is a lot better than education supposedly received
when actually avoiding the draft and paying not the slightest attention
to anything that he hadn't already taught himself as a high school student.

 
You have absolutely no concept of what goes into an engineering
education. "Actually working for" an engineering educatoin requires
thousands of hours of difficult and intense study. At least half of
those beginning as engineering majors can't hack it and flunk out, drop
out or change majors.
 
And you, Tom, would never have met the entrance requirements.
 

Does seem to line up with something Neurological happening with Tom, aka
being easily convinced.
 
My brain can?t work out intent well now, so I tend to be cautious at least
with money and so on.
 
Essentially do nothing until one is sure that one has worked out the
meaning and ask for help.

 
 
 
 
 
Being easily convinced of what? That direct questions about my experience
with AI were to lead up to a scam? I have no idea what you do for a
living but is someone that qppears to be a prospective employer were to
ask you questions directly related to your work would you find it
authentic if they asked them? I was asked 20 questions or more before
this scam was attempted. Since real engineers are pretty much gone from
California (even Abbott has asked me to go to work as an embedded systems
engineer) should I be somehow labled a fool for believing that what
appears to be an interview was eventually a scam?
 

You’re retired aren’t you? And yet get an out of the blue job offer? That
alone should ring red flags! Unless it’s some firm whose employee knows of
you.

Head hunting can and does happen but kinda needs folks with rather
particular skills which seems unlikely for yourself.

Elon musk apparently can save me money on my bills, though he probably
should be looking at Tesla stock and sales quite frankly! Or apparently my
iCloud account will be frozen, and few free MOT’s and so on having a quick
glance at my junk folder.
