I received a text message at 6pm tonight (Wednesday Nov 16, 2011) which said: "I saw your resume and would like to talk to you about full-time, part-time and leadership positions @ PRI. Call me @ (248) 417-4652. Be well, Gary Harpe." I was instantly suspicious of this because it is highly unlikely that a legitimate employer would make initial contact via text message. I did a Google search on "PRI" and found nothing that was of any help. I then did a reverse look-up on the phone number, and all that I found out was is that this number is a cell phone, most likely located in Southfield or Farmington Hills, MI. I then Googled "Gary Harpe", and was directed to this website ~ this name was associated with other phone numbers already reported on this website, but nothing under this number that I am reporting on now. I read a lot of comments with "Gary Harpe" mentioned in it, and it appears that he is with Primerica, which is a total SCAM!!!!! I have been to two "interviews" there in the past, and would never, ever consider any "opportunity" they may have. I am surprised that they would even contact me... they have contacted me many times over the last few years, and I have made it very, very clear to them that I am not at all interested!

Got a text from "Gary Harpe" tonite (1/9/12) ... super wierd & unprofessional. It read the same as above poster's: "... saw your resume and would like to talk to you about full time, part time and leadership positions @ PRI. Call me @ 248-419-4652. Be well. Gary Harpe"
Sounds like a schiester, or some kind of pyramid scheme. Any legitimate HR person/recruiter doesn't send texts, and if this guys is for real he should join LinkedIn. The first thing I did when I got the message was google his name and number, and this site is what came up. Shady.
Same thing happen to me tonight and it looks like he has been doing this for sometime now.
Well I have contacted Farmington Hills police as this is very creepy so now I have a complaint out on him. I have also contacted my nephew who is with the DEA and he can check out anyone soooooooooo Be Well Mr. Harpe!
