Received a text message on a group thread

• Sep 11, 2025

I was contacted by someone claiming to be "Dr. Humberto," who said they were the general supervisor at Prialto. They sent me a text message and conducted an interview entirely via text, asking about my skill set, what I could offer, and my availability. This immediately seemed suspicious, as it’s unusual for a legitimate employer to conduct an interview this way and offer a job before any real conversation. After answering the initial questions, I did some research and discovered that this was indeed a scam. I then texted the number back to inform them that I knew they were a scammer and that I would be reporting them. After that, they stopped responding with the urgency they had before. I hope no one falls victim to this and loses their hard-earned money.

I was added to a group text with others offering a Kroger Recruiting team job. Says the person name is Layla. Says I need to download WhatsApp to proceed with training. I would get $70-$130 bonus just for signing up. I would need to add the trainer on the WhatsApp then send screenshot that I have added to trainer for the classes for a better understanding.

Received a text message from “Emily Anderson” sharing a part time opportunity. The job doesn’t seem real at all. Everything is very vague and I can’t find any evidence of this company existing. Don’t give out your info!

Received the following suspicious text message: "Good morning XX XXXX I am Edward Santos from Promatix Biosciences Ltd and we have reviewed your resume posted on Indeed. Am I incontact with the right person?" My resume is not posted for public view on Indeed which made this suspicious. In checking the phone number from which the text originated, I came across the ScamPulse.com site and noted that others were contacted by individuals using the same number from which the text I received originated. Obviously a scam of one sort or another.

Applied to a couple jobs on indeed (this one being Transcriptionist and Chat Support Representative) and got a text a couple days after about a completely different company with the same position(s) I applied for. Unfortunately gave away personal information on a W4 and direct deposit paper, I knew immediately once they asked for a screenshot of my bank mobile daily limit and immediately stopped all contact as well as put freezes on my accounts.

I applied for a tutoring job on Indeed.com. The information given by the employer was false. I believe the video interview was a fake. The video of the interview call went in and out, only showing stills. I offered to move to my phone, already checking my wifi connection was optimal. She claimed she worked for a non-profit. That is not true.
