So I’ve been out of work for almost a week now. I’ve been getting jobs with temp agencies. I got a text message (on iPhone) from an email account. They promised an online part time job but I had to message someone else with a different phone number. At the very least, it looks like a US number. Any advice? I really need to work and I’m tempted but it seems like a scam—
Edit: here’s the message copy pasted (removed the number)
