I received probably the 4th text I've gotten from Employer Network this morning. I texted STOP to 41569. I got another text showing the alerts I was signed up for and could cancel individual ones or just text STOP ALL. I texted STOP ALL (also to 41569) and received a reply that I was unsubscribed from Career-Network Alerts. It said for support call 888-753-4394. Hope this might help someone!

Absolutely a SCAM. Those who say otherwise here must work for them. Here is the exact text message I got:

"Employernetwork: Hi Dan, call me about the Armed Protective Office job you have applied for 88864213100. (txt STOP to cancel)"

What kind of prospective employer would ask you to test "STOP" to cancel? THIS IS A SCAM. YOU ARE DOING THEM A FAVOR BY CALLING THEM BACK.

This is a confirmed scam operation that tries to get you to enroll in a "virtual college".

Job seekers will merely waste their time and risk breach of personal information.

I received  a text from 8886421310
it stated: POWERAPPLICAITONS:Hi call me to about the job you have applied for
( txt STOP to cancel)

I called them also, and the 1st thing he asked was my highest degree of education. I told him, he asked if I was planning on going back. I told him no and he said, well there are great programs to assist in your education. Its a scam to try and enroll you in some school program. Hang up ASAP

I bet it is legit, too many paranoid minds.  There is an option now when u apply online to how u want to b contacted.. phone, email, and/or txt.  But the checkbox is for phone and txt, so why freak out when u get a txt?  Its 2011 lol.

I got a text from this number asking me to call them back. Seems fishy.....

It comes from applying for a job online and being fooled by a scammer.  Caught me, too.  Beware of the job ads that take you to another website to apply, especially if you don't really know who the company is.  I thought this one was ok, because it said the MAYO CLINC and it was through Phoenix Career Central (website brand new 2011, I see now).  It forced the entry of phone numbers after already having uploaded your resume and other info.  I thought it strange, and had a gut feeling to not do it, but did it anyway.  Then at the end of the process, up comes this 888 number saying to call this number to complete the application process.  I got a text from them today....2 weeks later....saying to call them at this 888 number.  Nah....don't believe I will.  It's a damn state of affairs when you can't even apply for legitimate jobs with legitimate companies anymore because of the scammers out there.

Txt said:  41569:  EmployerNetwork:  Hi XXXX, call me about the Administrative Assistan (yes...misspelled) job you have applied for 8886421310. (txt STOP to cancel)

DON'T text STOP to cancel.  DON'T REPLY TO THEM AT ALL!

Research shows that this number belongs to TMC COMMUNICATIONS INC and that they have MANY other prefixes for this number.

I got a text from this number saying to call them back. A would think a reputable company would call to talk to me, not send me a text asking me to call an 888 number. No thanks.

I, too, received a text today to call the phone number. A "customer representative" answered the phone and said they screen applicants for jobs that the principal employers who post on Careerbuilder and other sites are too busy to answer ( I was already skeptical). He said he was in Florida and the call could take up to 45 minutes, which I would not commit to. When I told him I was on lunch from work, he told me he would terminate the call. I suspect they try to get as much personal info as possible.

Thanks for all these postings. I just got a text from them as well. What's so sad is in this difficult economy and job search environment, we have to put up with companies that take advantage.

just a f**king spam outfit.

i rec'd a txt message this morning at 10:10 am central standard time about a job that i sent my resume via a website asking me to respond to the said phone number listed 888-642-1310.  in all my work years experience i have never gotten a txt message in regards to a job.  i feel this a some type way of getting access to my information and abuse it.  

*** THIS READS SCAM ***

I've been making a few extra bucks using this website so I thought I would just share it. I'm a college student and I use this to pay for gas and bills. I do it in some of my longer classes or when watching a game. $1 just for signing up...So here is the site

Yea, I called them back and once you start asking them questions about who they are and what they are, my call was disconnected!!! Hummmm think there is something wrong with this!
They are from what I can tell a scam. You know getting a job is hard enough nowadays, we really don't need people like that out there. Becareful out there!

I received a txt from them about a job I applied before.  And I actually called, seemed legit enough the way they asked questions and answered my questions.  I just hope I won't get tons of junk emails from now.

I received the same text message telling me to call the number back... but as you said Alice a legit company would call first

I signed up with them through a web-link (CL) about a job, specifically housekeeping, and it reeks of scam, as Kim said above.

Its a company from north new hampshire, running a job scam. They call themselves Career -network alert, but avoid them and their sign up. Its a lot of texting and running around. Dont bother signing up.
