Why does it always feel like Indians (dot not feather) are running a scam

Working with a recruiter who lined up an interview for me with one of the big 4.

Some of the "odd" request
1. Send a photo of my ID (typically I wouldn't do this but nothing super secret like SS# was on it so I sent it)
2. Send an email to him that reads "I _________, will accept the position if it is offered to me at a rate of $47 per hour" (maybe they've gone through the process with others and they end up backing out????)

There's others but these two stand out as extra weird.

Also, interview ended and I wanted to send a thank you note to the individuals I interviewed with (interviewed via video). I did not get there last names so I asked the recruiter guy for there last names. His response was, Sorry, I don't know there last names. I've been searching LinkedIn using individuals first name and name of company to maybe find the person but not finding the profile of the people on LinkedIn associated with the company which I think is pretty weird.

The recruiting firm itself seems a bit shady as every employee is Indian (dot, not feather) and there are only like 6 employees in the company. Why would one of the big 4 utilize a rinky dink recruiting firm?


The interview itself seemed normal and I'm not seeing how I get screwed in this so maybe legit but man, just dealing with Indians (dot not feather) gets me extra skeptical and cautious.

Anyone else feel this way? I've gotten to know a few pretty well and they are good people but the initial vibe I get from Indians (dot not feather) is that they are working some sort of scam.
