Got a text saying ‘Hello’; when I asked who sent it they answered ‘Are you still looking for a job?’ I demanded the company's name and how they obtained my number – they claimed to be Matthew from Totaljobs. I'd never been contacted about a job before, so it looks like a scam.
Unsolicited job scam?

Expert Opinion
Ever received an unsolicited text that feels off, like a casual 'Hello' leading to job queries? In this case, a message about job hunting from someone claiming to be Matthew at Totaljobs raises red flags, especially since legitimate recruiters rarely initiate via text without prior opt-in. Such approaches can be phishing attempts to extract personal details or push fake opportunities. Block the number immediately and report it to your network provider to curb further contact. Verify any job leads directly on official sites, and consider enabling spam filters on your phone for added protection. Stay vigilant—scammers exploit job searches ruthlessly.
