PE Internship Potential Scam?

Hi everyone, I applied for an unpaid research internship on indeed for a MM PE fund (not naming the fund) in New York and was invited and given a week to submit an industry analysis, which I did. I just received an email saying that they are impressed with my work and would like to have a 30 min interview with me in 2 days. I see the same posting on other job websites and even in chegg internships.

Also, I only see 7 employees on LinkedIn, only 3-4 people were previous interns. This will potentially be my first internship and Wanted to know if this is scam internship or not?
