Background check question

Did an internship for a startup two years ago. It was disorganized and kind of a mess, so I kinda dropped off the face of the earth at the end. However, it was listed on my resume. Anyway, I’m pretty sure the “company” doesn’t exist anymore.

When they go to do my background check for my SA, will this be an issue?

They don’t have a website or anything, and I’d have to look back in my email to even figure out what my boss’ name was.

You gotta move to a different country before they initiate the background check - RUN!!!

 

Did they ask you to collect references, or did they reach out to others directly?
