Stay skeptical when you receive unsolicited job offers via text, especially if the company name and location don’t match the phone’s area code. Verify the employer’s legitimacy through official channels—visit their website, call a verified corporate line, or check state business registries. Never share personal identifiers like Social Security numbers or submit I‑9 forms through unsecured email. If the recruiter pressures you for rapid action or requests payment, treat it as a red flag and block the number. Report the incident to the FTC and your state’s consumer protection office to help curb these scams.
After finding a job posting on Facebook, I was contacted by someone claiming to be from Arizona Painting Inc, asking me to fill out an I-9 form via email, despite my offer to visit in person.
A text message was sent to me regarding a job, allegedly from Painting Arizona Inc, but they had accessed a significant amount of personal information, including my SSI number, so I'm closely monitoring my credit.
