Description

The following transcription of the incident is slightly paraphrased as I blocked and reported the number and it was removed from my messages so I don't have the responses verbatim. I received a text message on the morning of 11/21/2025 asking if I was available to talk. I asked who the sender was. They responded with something similar to the following: "My name is Melissa Grey from LinkedIn. I have details about a role we are hiring for. May I send them?" I replied with, "No thank you, please do not contact me at this number." They replied with, "We are an organization that collects surveys and reports on jobs.... [shortened as I don't remember exact wording]" My final reply to this was, "I do not care, please don't contact me ever again." As mentioned above, this was the point where I blocked the number and reported it as spam through Google Messages. I found this incident interesting because I haven't had LinkedIn for at least a year, having deleted it due to privacy and security concerns.
