The actual number of the sender of the TEXT was 1-347-987-8240....in searching the number with that extra '1' gave me a location in China; ALL of the results were in Chinese! I strongly suspect they
keep sending texts to verify which #'s are viable for their SCAMS. When you actually reply, they know they have a 'live' number. I also suspect it is a network where the origin is in China and the reply # (which is 800-499-8670) is where they confirm that the # is 'live'. Once confirmed, they'll shower you with SPAM texts constantly. My suggestion is DON'T REPLY. Instead report them to the FCC!
Actual TEXT says: "Movie extras wanted! Up to $300 a day. Register now! Call 800-499-8670
To Stop reply STOP"
Got called 11 times yesterday from a set of unrecognized #s (no more than 2 calls per number). When there wasn't a hangup, it was a male with an Indian accent saying he was processing my $1500 loan application. When I asked what name and/or address the loan application had on it, they would hang up.
Played along and gave them fake data once, but they couldn't find the street in the zip code I gave them and hung up on me at that point.
