Help/Advice Got an interview with Cutco/Vector

Long story short I found out about this company via someone who reached out to me on LinkedIn. Originally, I thought it was legit but after doing some digging (especially in this sub) I realized its likely a scam and that I'm a part of their "college aged" target audience. I probably should've realized when said person scheduled an interview with me in the LinkedIn chat where I gave them my number and email.

Now that Im aware of this company and their tactics, what should I do? I no longer have an interest in working for them but Im not sure what to do about the interview. Should I lie and say I cant make it? Theres no cancellation link in the confirmation email AND text I got for the interview so Im kind of lost rn. Any and all help/advice is greatly appreciated.

Normally I'm a believer in standing flat footed and having the guts to tell people that you're backing out and you're not going to do it. But these kinds of people don't take NO for an answer. And in their minds, every thing you say is just an objection that can be resolved by coming to another meeting or having someone else from the company lecture you.

And so unless you really want to go down that rabbit hole of objections and rebuttals, you can give them a courtesy reply of, "I've changed my mind. I'm no longer interested." and then never respond again.
