I also received the same text which i found weird too. I thought of it as a scam but still wanted to find out what would they say if i call. I called and they knew my name before I introduced myself which I didn't like. I told them I was not interested in getting a job anymore. but asked them how would they make money if I wanted to find a Job with them. They said they get paid by the Employer who hires me which is stupid and I didn't believe. Personally I think is a SCAM to get your info!!!
Same here! Just got a text message saying my resume had been reviewed, if still interested in work to call the same 888 number. No legit company would do that, but now I'm thinking of how could they have gotten my personal cell number??
I also received a text message today. I'm assuming it is because I"ve got myself marketed at some online sites (YahooJobs/Monster.com).
I will not be calling back the toll free # nor texting back
Channel IQ collects and filters data for retailers and manufacturers, in the process, this data is unprotected and is collected by search engines. The data is then exposed to spiders crawling the web for specific data like phone numbers, and from there special software for sending out texts, email spam, etc. exists to initiate specific market research or sales. Like this job placement service for example, just another glorified shell game.
I just received a text from this number asking if I was still looking for a job. Seems like a huge scam!!
If it was a legit recruiter they would send an email with all their contact info.
