Don’t know from where offering me a job and telling me that I would be an asset to their PR. The pay offer was not too shabby,😀
I suspect this is a new scam so I deleted it immediately. In hindsight I would should have copied it to post here.
Be wary of new scams.

1. My general rule of thumb- if I don't recognize number or sender it gets trashed.

2. Same here

Rec.

3. Even reputable sites are absorbing spam

Linked-In. I banned a guy because I thought he was fake. You can't un-ban.

I still get offers to collect inheritances if I'll just cooperate by giving my bank account.

4. It never stops

5. I've been getting job offers

Way below my pay grade.

I’m thinking why would you contact me for a stupid job like that? Delete.

6. I used to get job offers

that were scams. I just got a collection agency scam Friday. First one of those. I haven't gotten a threat from the FBI or SSA scams so far.

Hope that's the end of it for you.

8. ROFL

10. Hope it's the end for you

as well. 😀

11. I think we both know there's no end in sight!

The best I can do is ignore calls from numbers I don't recognize and report the texts as scams without replying. Maybe those actions are good assertiveness training!

7. I've gotten that, and I've been retired for years

Ain’t nobody honestly looking to hire me.

9. Ditto

12. Weird, I get two or three of these a week

I’m semi-retired. Often, these inquiries indicate the sender is impressed with my resume. I haven’t drafted a resume since 1992!

Into the trash they go. Same with unknown phone numbers and voicemails.

Why bother with garbage?
