Has anyone else been inundated with text messages sharing information about obviously fake jobs? Idk what list I got myself on, but I get about a half dozen of these random text messages, all from different phone numbers, each week.

I thought it was just me!!!! These scam messages come in at the oddest times as well. Like at 3 o'clock in the morning, I'm woken up with one of these.

All the time. I have to block and report at least 10 a week. It's ridiculous. And so incredibly obvious. I can't believe anyone falls for them. $1,500 a day working from home? Yeah sounds legit 🙄

My Google phone screens almost all of those out as spam.

You are definitely not alone! I have found any time I am job searching and I apply to a job through a specific job board I am bombarded with spam texts or calls.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
