Seller contacted me via text

Hi, someone contacted me via text and a ebay job opportunity and said I can make really good money but it seems kind of sketchy to me. Maybe a scam?

Let us know when you make that first million.

 

In all seriousness, I wonder how often do sellers actually "sell" your contact info to someone else.

Hi, sorry to hear this. Since they sent you a text, you have their number. Go in and block that caller. In the future, never, ever give out personal information to an anonymous random contact. In fact, never respond to an anonymous text. Legitimate businesses would never canvas in such a way. As another poster mentioned, if they are looking for viable numbers to sell, even responding to say don't text me, tells them there is a live body at the other end.
