I received the same exact message and text from Darrin. What kind of mess is this.  I have applied to jobs all over the place but lately from Craigslist.  Is this for real or a scam?

What's the website about? The one in the text?

Yepper, no Caller ID text.

No, caller ID's are in the actual number programming. If it doesn't come up it's because there is none.

Got that text. No caller ID but message was pretty clear. Said that if I was still interested in finding a job to visit their website. Probably got my resume off of Monster.

Doesn't the number need to be in your address book for a caller ID to come thru on your cell phone?

Caller ID: Unknown.

Text message was about jobs but no caller ID

Text messages! The phone calls of the future!

Text from nowhere?

Here's what happened when I went to the site. I filled out two pages of information and was given a phone number to call. When they answered the guy confirmed the information I typed in was correct and then asked me some questions about the types of jobs I wanted. Then he said they'd start sending me updates with jobs in my area that meet those requirements. I was given the option of how often I wanted those updates and i said daily. When I got the jobs a few I'd knew already, and a few I didnt. I followed the link and applied for them. Does that answer everyone's questions?

Text message, no caller ID.

Cell phones are different than other phones. They want to limit the amount of data sent to keep costs down so they don't send caller ID info. The number has to be in your address book to come up in caller ID.

Yes! Thank you!

Awesome stuff!

Thank you for posting that.

Mystery solved I guess.

But what job did you apply to that got you the text?

I received a text message form 424-832-0109 asking to register at jobnab.com.

I put my resume on careerbuilder and this number texted me. It's prolly some scam

I received this text saying he/she reviewed my application for the receptionist position I applied for and to please call him/her at 888-907-0906. It even used my first name. I didn't apply for any receptionist position so I'm guessing they got my info from Monster.com

I got a text on my cell phone today, a Saturday, from 512-827-6432 using my first name and asking me to call 888-907-0906 about an admin position I applied for. Normally, businesses do not conduct recruiting on weekends and if they do, THEY call YOU. Viewing this text as unprofessional and impersonal, not even listing the name of the person I am supposed to be contacting, and after viewing the same thing happening to someone else, I decided not to call.

Got a text from this number saying that they reviewed my application for a receptionist job.  Told me to call 888-907-0912

except that i have been worried about what information you send them...soc sec #?  Date of birth?  Driver's License #?  I worry about identity theft, you know?

yeah this is crazy, i just got a text saying they recieve my information for customer service position.However, they didnt leave a name of the company or person who was contacting me, all they left was a number to call back-888-907-0920.Yea right like I am really going to call,obviously its a scam.I mean why wouldnt they call or leave a message.Out all the interview/jobs I ever had I've never been contacted by text.I know now days email is a common communication tool,but even then the company gives you exact instructions on what to do to contact them.Its just a little sad that now I cant even trust the places I am applying for!!

I got the same text... have no idea what "receptionist" position this is.... then they told me to call the same 888 number...

I recieved a text message from (424) 832-0109 saying that my resume for a customer service representative was recieved and to call back at the above number. Yeah right, I was born at night but not last night! I wonder how I can find out which job search site (Monster or Career Builder) is allowing people's info to be stolen!!!

It sucks.  I have the same story except what they try to also do is sneak you in information about online universities and once they get a hold of your phone number, it will likely be very difficult to keep from getting future random calls.  Be careful, these calls are routed from a call center outside the U.S.  

Good luck in your job searching, everyone.  I need some luck too.  And I went through careerbuilder and monster too, so chances are that is where they got the information.

Just got same text message today.  I agree that it is very unprofessional for any company to text a protenial employee about a interview. I did apply at Career Builder and with Monster

I got a text and it told me to call 888-240-0910. They told that it was for a medical records job and said they would send me some info about it in an email tomorrow. They then told me about a free career advice service they had. When I called that number it was a service that represents various online universities that matches your interests to different programs at different schools. I'm not sure if it represents a real job or if they're just shady telemarketers.
