I don't want to make this post an advertisement, so hopefully I can choose my words carefully.
I've been getting texts saying, "New job in ______. You have the first priority to respond. Free to see detail: (it gives a link) Let me know if it is not for you."
I've texted back a few times with questions like, "Who are you," "Where did you get my number?" etc.
I've gotten some responses from either a person or a highly intelligent chatbot.
Latest one claims they got my number from my listing online.
It's been a decade since I've listed online. All my business is word of mouth and repeat business. And that listing a decade ago was probably my old home number, not my cell phone.
The link is something like "website.com/'job'/'p'/numbers/othernumbers". If I just go to website.com it looks like a lead driver website. My virus protection won't let the page load without me allowing scripts from that website. "numbers" appear to be the specific job. "othernumbers" is always the same, so that's probably my designation.
My last response was, "If you want me to look at a job you can pay me. If I take the job I'll refund your money and give you a percentage of the profit."
Key word: profit
What do you guys think of this?
The word job and the letter p actually appear in the link. The rest is just a general way for me to say what it looks like. PM me and I'll give you the exact link. But only for informational purposes.
