Hey everyone,
I’m a bit worried and need some advice. My wife was job hunting a few weeks back, and now I’ve gotten this weird text. It claims to be from Kelly Services, but the email is a Gmail address. That seems fishy to me.
Has anyone else dealt with something like this? I’m not sure how they got my number or if it’s connected to my wife’s job search. Is this a known scam going around?
I’d really appreciate any tips on how to handle this or if I should just ignore it. Thanks for any help you can give!
I’ve seen similar situations before, and it’s wise to be cautious. Legitimate companies like Kelly Services typically don’t use Gmail addresses for official communications. This sounds like a potential scam.
Here’s what I’d suggest:
Don’t respond to the text. Instead, go to Kelly Services’ official website and look up their contact information. Give them a call directly and ask if they’ve been trying to reach you. They can confirm if it’s genuine or not.
If it turns out to be fake, report it to Kelly Services so they’re aware someone’s impersonating them. You might also want to file a report with your local police or cybercrime unit.
Stay vigilant and always verify job offers through official channels. It’s better to be safe than sorry in these situations.
I’ve been in a similar situation, and it’s definitely wise to be cautious. In my experience, legitimate staffing agencies like Kelly Services don’t use personal email addresses for official communications. This has all the hallmarks of a potential scam.
Here’s what worked for me: I reached out directly to Kelly Services through their official website. I explained the situation to their customer service team, and they were able to confirm whether the offer was genuine or not. They also appreciated the heads-up about potential impersonation.
If it turns out to be fake, consider reporting it to your local consumer protection agency. They track these scams and can sometimes help shut them down.
Remember, in the job market, if something seems too good to be true or feels off, trust your instincts. It’s always better to take a moment to verify than to fall victim to a scam. Stay safe out there!
yo, that sounds sketch af. i’ve seen this kinda thing before. legit companies don’t use gmail for official stuff. probably a scam. don’t reply to the text, hit up kelly services directly on their real website. they can tell u if its legit or not. stay safe out there bro!
