Job Posting Turned Into Training Pitch

I applied for an entry-level trainee cybersecurity role. Instead of a proper interview, they just reviewed my profile and said I’m “not the right candidate,” but offered a paid bootcamp (~₹6K). Later, they said internships are only for final-year students (misleading -many companies offer stipend-based internships for graduates) and even asked me to refer friends. it’s likely not a genuine job opportunity. Thier intention was pure sales Not just job offer
