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!!!
I also received a text message asking if I'm still interested in obtaining a job - it told me to call 888-258-9946 which according to records belongs to Rich's Carpet Care in Cordova, TN - I live in NJ. I understand how they obtained my number as I have it on my resume because I'm searching for a new job. I agree with SN about a legitimate recruiter would email me or call me personally to inquire if I was interested.
I totally agree. Any legit company would at least call, not send out a text with a call back number. I think it's a company called Jobnab that is getting our info and soliciting it from our resumes. I found the Rich's Carpet Care number too. Seems like a scam.
I just received the text too asking if I was still looking for a job. Seems very shady, very few legitimate companies would conduct business in this way. My advice: Ignore - and wonder how they could have obtained my info.
Just received a SMS message that read " Hi ******, I just reviewed your resume. If you're still looking for work in the Health Care Field, please call me at 888-258-9946."
1) I'm not even looking for work in Health Care, nor am I qualified to do so
2) What legitimate company sends text messages for job offers?
Employment scams (where there is *NO* job) include but are not limited to:
1. Victims pay $$$ up front for required crap like uniforms, certification, background check, 1/2 airline ticket, etc.
2. You don't quite qualify for the job but are counseled to go back to school (scammer gets paid on college referral).
3. You are offered an interview and find out later it's a no-salary, commission-only, you-pay-expenses, perhaps-MLM sales job with poor leads.
4. You give your personal info because you believe you are applying for a real job which can lead to ID theft.
5. Your job as financial agent is to receive checks, cash them at your own bank, and Western Union cash away (checks will bounce).
REMEMBER -- THERE IS *NO* JOB.
