Was this a scam or a real thing?

An unknown person texted me a job ad for a position I was totally qualified for but I decided they might be trying to learn my address and bank information and deleted the ad.

Good choice. You did the right thing. Unsolicited requests for your personal information are almost always a scam.

If the job ad got your attention, go ahead and contact the company, directly, that the job is for.

Probably some kind of scam. Smart thinking, deleting is really the safest option for that type of messages.

100% scam.

[AI Opinion]

It's wise to be cautious with unsolicited job offers, especially when they ask for personal information. Scammers often create fake job ads to obtain sensitive details. Deleting it was a prudent decision. For legitimate opportunities, it's best to apply directly through reputable company websites or trusted job platforms. Always verify the company's authenticity and contact them through official channels if you're unsure. Stay vigilant.
