MARRIED Claire Clayton was speechless after she got a mobile text message saying: "I wnt u, I need u, I cnt get enuff of u."

The sexy text sent to the 25-year old Benefits Agency worker was not from husband Dave but from the Hazel Grove branch of Sainsbury's offering her a job.

The company sent hundreds of saucy messages in a recruitment drive.

But Mrs Clayton was left angry and worried because she has no idea how the company got her number.

Sainsbury's withdrew the message after Job Centre staff made a complaint when job seekers, who also received the text, expressed concern.

Mrs Clayton, who works in Longsight, said: "We would have had a problem if Dave had just read the first bit. I don't think they should do that but I am more anxious about where they got my number from.''

The message told people to ring Stockport Job Centre but the manager there, Linda McGee said the company should have checked before sending out her number.

She said: "Sainsbury's placed this advert with the best intentions to raise awareness of the store - they have apologised to me and the text was withdrawn.

"My team fielded complaints but many people who found it asked for applications. I was not aware that a text message was being sent and if I had seen the content it would not have gone out in that form."

The advert was approved by Sainsbury's human resources in Stockport but not initiated by the company nationally.

The phone numbers were brought from a firm, which asks people on forms and special offers if they would mind receiving information about other companies.

More than 50 people responded to the message in just one day and asked for applications in what Sainsbury's said was a "very successful'' campaign.
