I received a text message that I could talk with someone about a job I had applied for. I was informed that I should call 650-200-1754. That was strange because the phone number on top of the text was a 731 area code, and the local job I applied for is in a 615 area code. I applied for a job in Tennessee. The 650 area code is in CA. I went to Spokeo.com to look up the 650 number and found out there were 25 complaints about that number. Like all of the people before me, I think it is a scam. Furthermore, whenever I have been called to come to an interview in the past, I receive an actual physical phone call, never a text. Most business would be calling from a landline and you can't text from those.
I do live in California and I've applied for many jobs here but when I got this text I decided to ignore it. Who would text about a job, that's ridiculous.
They exact thing happened to me and I'm only 17, but was applying for jobs. I'm scared that I just gave them access to bigger names by giving them my phone number..
