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.

Oh… I’m sure they’ll claim they were just giving me one last chance to send them money.

They can claim it sure but threatening language to secure votes is still a felony.

True, but…
1. For all I know it isn’t really them. Just some other scammers.
2. If it’s them, they’ll hide behind equivocation.
3. Either way, they don’t get into trouble. They never do. Trouble is for people like you and me.

The reason they don’t get in trouble is because people like you and me let them. Start with something simple like this, and then find the next thing you can do, and then the next.

I scrolled down the list of lawsuits against him the other day and felt so defeated. People are trying. 

[u/No_Ocelot_2285 → u/IndustriousFerret]

It’s not just him. Pick something you can do and do it. Every day. 

[u/IndustriousFerret → u/No_Ocelot_2285]

Fair enough. That's good advice!

Or y’know because they own the DOJ and most of the law enforcement agencies in the country.

How tech illiterate can you be ? They clearly are some scammers who made a fake website and are sending it to random people to steal their info

[u/Lock_Psychological → u/jfbad]

They are scammers. No question. But the website appears legit. I am pretty tech savvy.

[u/Tall_Bandicoot_2768 → u/No_Ocelot_2285]

Is it? Do you actually have any concept of how these phone numbers are generated and the actual level of impact youre capable of having here or are you just saying that?

[u/No_Ocelot_2285 → u/Tall_Bandicoot_2768]

Stop with the defeatist excuses and do something. If not this, then pick something else. 

[u/Tall_Bandicoot_2768 → u/No_Ocelot_2285]

No seriously, what are we even talking about here specifically?

Hes saying reporting randomly generated phone numbers is not effective, youre throwing around grand sweeping statements of idealism.
