Has anyone else gotten a text asking to call this number?

I did, but I haven't returned their text yet because I didn't know who it was.

This number is a part of Careers Inc, which is a verification service
for employers for hundreds of different job boards. I'm a
representative of Careers and would like to clarify why you're getting
a text from us on this number.

We receive a large quantity of resumes for thousands of positions
across the country, and our job is to verify that your contact
information is correct. Employers use Careers because they get such a
massive response to job postings. It's very hard for any company to
sort through interested applicants - people are not reachable, their
phone numbers are disconnected, or their email is invalid or typo'd on
their resume. This leads to frustration on both ends, where applicants
receive no response and employers get bad contact info for an
otherwise qualified individual.

Careers attempts to contact applicants to confirm that their
information is correct - if it is not, then we help them to correct it
and update the employer on the applicant's status.

We do not ask for any sensitive information such as SSN. We do not
charge for our service. We will never ask you for anything beyond
confirming what's already in your resume on file.

I got a text from them and decided to call them back. I spoke to a man named Terry who identified himself from Carrers Inc and asked if I was still looking for employment. What he did was ask me for just some general info to make sure my "information" was correct. He didnt ask for anything about my SSN or family. Just stuff like name, adress, email, and home phone number. Than about my college information. If some guys pull up to my house in a van or all my stuff has been stolen in the next few weeks Ill let you know.

If you have any doubts about the number you can use a reverse call system (its like 4 dollars online) or if they get to be harassing you can call police or your service provider and ask them to get the information.

I did as well, it's from CareerBuilder.com verifying our info for employers.
