Questionable job hunting

Got a response from a job application.

They asked me for contact info and a good time to call. I plastered said info all over my coverletter, resume, and email application. *Flag 1* (okay fine, I omitted contact times just to see what would happen)

Their website doesn't exist either. *Flag 2*

Well, the server responding to the site works (whois reports GoDaddy). It completes the 3way handshake and ACKs the HTTP request, but it doesn't send the page and the connection stays alive. *Flag 3*

I'm not quite sure if this company exists or not. It was a craigslist posting (some companies don't like posting who they are), they're responding from the craigslist email *Flag 4*, and the person who responded has 3 phone numbers in 3 different area codes. *Flag 5*

Because this is a QA position and "why not?", I responded with an overview of what Wireshark captured.
