Currently unemployed and looking for work on indeed. Periodically I get the messages “after reading your CV we’d like to see if you’d express an interest in x or y roll, click here to register your interest....” I usually do and they usually come to nothing. So far, so common or so I’m told.
But today I’ve had three text messages from the same number which read:
Messages Hi
After reading your CV I wanted to set up a zoom call to cover more about the roles available at Piranha. Zoe uk.appriv.net/?i=xgXB4rS5 Link
(I’ve removed my name and the number... But when I click on the link from the text it doesn’t open.
Now I was under the impression that indeed hide such details as telephone numbers etc, although maybe they don’t hide them from CV’s, but equally it seems very unprofessional to send someone a text from a random number rather than to contact me through the app?
But they do know my name which seems to imply they’ve seen my actual CV, but still.
Does this sound legit?
PS: I am one of the biggest cynics in the world when it comes to scams etc so maybe I’m being over cautious?
