    Does anybody else have this issue?
    I get 5 or 6 calls a day all different phone numbers but all Melton and my texts exploded with there recruiting offers. I mean exploded! I called to ask to be removed and was told they have no control over it and got bounced around with no results. I for one would NOT work for a company that recruits in that manner. Especially when I never applied or talked to them.

    Go to info and block caller. Looks like those are all from the same number

    You should see the spam you get when applying for authority. Texts, calls, emails. It’s ridiculous.

    Its not recruiting. That's advertising. All you have to do is reply STOP

    It's simple you have 2 choices ..
    1 ....block the number it takes less than 2 secs.. vs the probably 10 mins you spent on the ph with them telling them to knock it off
    2... go to work for them

    Advertising is a billboard, popups on websites, THAT, thats spam, they bought your number somewhere and now youll receive storms of calls/texts from them forever.

    Its like the unsubscribe buttons on websites, you THINK youre unsubscribed, then 5 months later, theyll just reset things and annoy you again

    Advertising ain't limited to the methods mentioned in your post anymore. Text advertising is quite the norm now, and why wouldn't it be? Everyone is on their phones non stop
