Just missed a call from this number, and decided to look it up. I go a text yesterday from 912-293-5445 asking if I still do "auto cad for hire." Wondering if the two are in any way connected?
They are a scam:

Labor Department Warns Workers of Telephone Scam

Identity Theft on the Rise in Idaho
IDAHO FALLS — Numbers from the Federal Trade Commission show identity theft is increasing in Idaho and nationwide. Read more
BOISE • The Idaho Department of Labor is warning workers about a possible identity theft scam involving calls from a Blackfoot telephone number about a survey on a job fair or finding work.
The department has heard from at least two job seekers — both veterans — who say the callers identified themselves as representatives of the department and asked for their Social Security numbers and personally identifiable information.
The department is not conducting a survey at this time and when it does never asks for Social Security numbers.
Blackfoot police said a phone number — (208) 980-7065 — is one of many phone numbers set up by a company called WN Positions.
Reporters from the Idaho State Journal placed several calls to the Blackfoot number, and one was rerouted to an office in Florida.
Idaho job seekers should never give out personal information over the phone, and anyone who receives a suspicious phone call is urged to report it to the local police department, Idaho State Attorney General’s Office and the Better Business Bureau.
