Unskippable ad I keep getting threatening texts

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.

Let's say it's actually the GOP doing this and not some CPAC funded by who knows who.

Who's in charge of the FBI and Justice Dept?

Actuallly... it's probably just a scammer.

Edit: should I add more l's in actually?
