OMG same thing for me except there were over 30 people in both rooms sitting waiting for an interview. I saw your post and basically everything you said happened except that I am not going for the second round of whatever scheme they wanna call it. They are liars and scammers. Looking for vulnerable people to trick into their "steps." I literally had to cut off the interview to ask if this was for the graduate assistant position I applied for and he said no! Never in my life was I ever set up or lied to. Their empty office space was already sketchy looking like they pick up and move every week since they're running a scam. I hope people see these posts and don't fall into their trap.
