Unsolicited text message to my unlisted cell phone addressed to my formal name as it had been entered on the CalJobs and EDD website the night before. This was someone who is skimming data from the California Government's web interaction, likely the result of third party websites linked to the Cal Jobs listings. There are big warnings in red letters on the Cal Jobs site which indicates a HUGE PROBLEM otherwise there would be no warning to not trust the listings that they host. DO NOT TRUST OFFERS IF YOU DID NOT INITIATE CONTACT. Just because they know who you are does not mean you can trust them. Nobody offers anyone a job interview by a text message when they did not apply. The name and number will change by the time you read this.
