Second, seemingly legit, job posting that's contacted me after the fact to download Signal/Telegram. I'm in now way going to do it, not that dumb, just wondering if this is a new trend I'm not aware of?

No idea about signal but telegram's nice (except the part where you have to give your mobile number) i use it to sometimes stay in touch with people i know and pirate shit . And no theoretically downloading thise apps wouldn't get the scammer anything they are just using those to get scott free from consequences after scam as those apps are anonymous enough if i have to guess the scam comes after contacting the person .
