Maybe I am interviewing for a government position?
Or it's a scam, that's more common than you'd think.

This is my person win for the day...

Spoke to the recruiter and he said they don't have a website. Come on, it is 2017, and it is an interview for an MSP.
He hold me to just go talk to him. Yeah, but I will be wasting their time and mine, and my gas money. This is all too strange. -
This is the reason I do not give out my social for the first stage of interviews, or DOB, or my real address. I will give that info to HR once I have an offer letter.
Oh, and there is a Joe in the mix too, but who is Joe? You didn't give me his info. -

Yeah, and they are a small shop with about 10 employees, and only a few customers. It is 2017, you need a website for marketing and to get more business.

And just for people to verify who you are.

So I get an ical from the original person that will be interviewing me. Look at the domain name of his email, enter it as url, no website. Ok, check out what you said. The "Joe" domain name is an Loan underwritting website based out of NV.

Just broke a dish while trying to do the dishes. Argh.
Ooops!
It was super slippery. It was in the sink, but it broke the dish underneath in the sink
Soapy dishes and coffee jitters don't go well together
It was olive oil that did it.
Olive oil in Italy? I wouldn't have guessed!

Did you do the whois or is that the information that came from that?

If I have to do that much work, just for an interview. What is the point?

Maybe that is their tactic, see if you really, really want the job. Of course, if you really, really want a job that you've never heard of, I guess that just shows that you are desperate. Why would they want that?

Found out the Joe character, he has his own business too registered out of his house. His yearly revenue is less than what they would be offering me. I told the recruiter that they can call me and talk to me, but I need to know what I am walking into before I walk into it. So I am not getting dressed and driving 45 minutes to interview for something fishy.
