From the messages I get, I suspect there are scammers scraping Indeed for vulnerable individuals. Sometimes I get legit texts from companies looking to hire in my field. Other times I get texts from… questionable sources. They promise numbers that don’t make sense for entry level, in fields I don’t work in, usually calling themselves “sales” with the promise of being able to work from your phone. They give me “join my pyramid scheme” vibes.

So yeah, there are real job positions, fake job positions, and scammers looking to expand. What a fantastic job market. /s
