Same!

After out-of-hand saying "no" once, I had someone offer me a contract by way of a friend. I valued the friend so I met with the client. About half way through, the client's (a large-ish health org) point-of-contact asked about my internet connection because they wanted me to remote desktop into their windows-citrix-machine-thingamputer for "billing purposes"... it was an iOS(in swift) developer role.

I didn't say anything about how preposterous that was and politely declined in email after the meeting. Or so I thought. I, apparently, did so much talking with my eyebrows that it got back to my friend... we broke out laughing when I explained what caused be to be "visually rude" (whatever that means).

When there is one red flag, there are bound to be others.
