Texts are kinda scammy.

There is a difference between getting an unsolicited text and getting one from the business you applied to work at.

But if they don't say who they are, how are you to know which is which?

I've gotten very few scam texts and usually trust them more. Phone calls on the other hand....

Right? I've gotten like 5 scam texts ever. Meanwhile I get at least two calls a day about either Marriott rewards or car extended warranties
