"βIndeed Human Resourcesβ"
"News Team group. If you enquired about a news delivery job on Indeed they will keep calling you loads until you either pick up or block the number. But it's not a scam."

"'Hello' texts are usually the start for the old recruitment scam. Anyone silly enough to reply will have trouble. You are definitely marked as an easy target for more scams. You may also be offered an incredible Β£50+ per hour flexible hours work from home job like reviewing TikTok videos. A full CV and references will be needed as will proof of your identity and address. Bank and NI details required for payroll. Software will be sent to load onto your device. DUH! But some people fall for this scam. Scam texts should be sent to 7726. Also report on the text spam report thing. That should get the scam looked into and the number blocked across the phone network. Blocking and deleting just on your phone only stops that one number from calling YOUR phone."

"receive a text from a person stating they were from Reed employment and that they had a job which fitted by CV. They then had a person contact me who said they were from Kworq who offered me a job with remote working. The money offered appeared to be to good for a Application Data Improvement Assistant and I felt pressured to act fast to take their on line training, for which I would receive Β£40. Check with Reed no person with that name working for the company and they did not have my details on record. All this was done my text"
