1/10/2026 @ 12:32 pm Mass test message received from (219)218-0536. Group participants: (202)422-4357, (317)201-6896, (404)437-2115, (484)538-4094, (404)556-1337, (404 556-1337, 7727, (870)351-1786, (787)633-5356 Hello, this is Nora from Apple Inc.’s recruiting team.

If you are interested in joining us, please text +19082201149 for more details Note: You must be at least 25 years old and have a strong sense of responsibility. (end) I previously reported an earlier text from this morning. All the group participant phone numbers are the same, however, the text was sent from a new number- (219)218-0536. The short code 7727 is primarily used by T-Mobile and Apple to report spam text messages. I have never applied to Apple, however, my resume is on several job board sites (i.e. ZipRecruiter, Indeed, etc). I did not text or call the number provided. I Googled the phone numbers listed on the text and none show that they are affliated with the sender nor Apple Inc. I called Apple's Corporate Office (Apple, One Apple Park Way, Cupertino, CA 95014, (408) 996–1010) to verify the job offer but they are closed on the weekends. I also checked Apple's Career Opportunity page on the website: https://jobs.apple.com/en-us/search?location=united-states-USA&page=4&homeOffice=true and used the Location search filters: Home Office, and United States and found no listings for this opportunity. I searched the web as well and found that there has been multiple reports and discussions about this and similar Apple Recruiting scams on B.B.B, Reddit, Apple (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255102050). Again, I did not call the number(s) from the text message so I had to answer no to the questions in this report regarding "Did the targeted person lose personally identifiable information?" and "Did the targeted person lose money?"
