I keep getting threatening texts

[u/Lock_Psychological]

I get these ALL the time. I’ve never donated to these “people.” Never supported them. Never voted for them. Nor has my wife. I received four of these today. All threats. Always a telling me it’s my last chance. These are some of the less malicious-sounding ones.

I’m not even sure they’re legitimately from those parties, though I wouldn’t put it past them.

So… report as spam. Report as spam. Report as spam.

It isn’t like it’s painful. Just pretty irritating.

But it resolved to their legit fund raising site. Checked it.

[u/TougherOnSquids → u/Lock_Psychological]

So, still a scam.

[u/Lock_Psychological → u/TougherOnSquids]

Eeeeeexactly. But remember we’re all gonna get like $5,000!!! Of… our own money… that we’ll never actually get…

Both links are different, and you clicked on it? Might be the dumbest thing I have heard. People can spoof websites and make it look the same. Doesn’t mean it’s legit.

[u/Sharpopotamus → u/kingjevin]

URL shorteners are a thing

[u/Lock_Psychological → u/kingjevin]

They both resolve to the same place.

[u/0vindicator10 → u/Lock_Psychological]

And that place is where?

And that "FINAL" place was not a 304 redirect from a tracker site (IOW, there was no intermediary)? Did you use a network monitor to watch the traffic?

[u/Davidbowiesfoot → u/Lock_Psychological]

What is the site? And why did you scribble over it?

[u/Lock_Psychological → u/Davidbowiesfoot]

The sub said something about removing identification info. If an admin says I can, I’ll post it. I’ve sent it to a few people. All of them resolve to winred.

Brother please stop clicking links you receive from texts from people that aren’t your personal contacts
