i receive a texts stating that i applied for a job.for this number 888-200-1604.and i didn;t apply anywhere.  try'd calling back but know one answered...

According to the Telephonic Consumer Protection Act of 1991, you must tell the telemarketer to take your name and number off their calling list, or remove your name and number from your calling list.  By law, they are supposed to place your name and number on their "Do Not Call" list for TEN YEARS from that date.

Various states, including Pennsylvania, also have Statewide "Do Not Call" registries, and telemarketing companies must by law purchase copies of these statewide lists.

The US Government also has www.donotcall.gov, a National Do Not Call Registry, which will place your telephone numbers from fax lines and land lines to cell phone numbers, on the National Do Not Call List for FIVE years.  Telemarketing Companies are also required by law to purchase this national do not call list.

That also goes for text messages!

Note:  IF YOU DO NOT USE THE EXACT VERBIAGE OR PROCEDURE I STATED ABOVE, THE TELEMARKETERS HAVE EVERY LEGAL RIGHT TO CALL YOU BACK!

Hi "insert name", call me about the job you applied for at 8882001604 (txt STOP to cancel)

Of course I responded with STOP, since I hadnt applied for any job.  I had also recieved a call from an unknown caller the week before this asking me if I wanted to continue my education.  I responded with..your a telemarketer trying to sell me somthing and Im not interested...the lady hung up.  I think the two are related.

Same here.  Text asking me to call about the job I applied for.  Number to call belongs to Earn My College Degree from Orem UT.

Scam.

I didn't receive a call, but a text saying "call me back about the job you applied for"
