I had a phone interview with a guy in India who was hiring for a company local to me in USA. He couldn't tell me anything whatsoever about the actual job, who'd be on the team, what I'd be doing. All he did was ask me complimentary questions and praise my qualifications. Then at the end of this supposed screen, he asks for my DOB. "Uhm, why do you need that?" "It's not important, you can even give me a fake birthday". I ended the discussion there. He knew nothing and wanted my personal info and then told me I could even fake it. Wtf?

That actually sounds pretty legit.

Not sure why they’d ask for a US applicant, but a lot of countries’ job application/interview processes make the US and Canada look very progressive. Maybe they hardcoded the DOB box. Things that are common in various other countries: including a selfie with your application, DOB, marital status, citizenships.
