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.

what is the end goal, though? once they figure out one is active then what?

[u/Mister_Spacely → u/bookishfairie]

They sell it as an active “real” number. And you get more spam.

Probably why OP can’t get rid of these spam texts. OP probably replied to a spam text in the past and their number got registered and sold as an active number.

[u/Oh_Cosmos → u/Mister_Spacely]

okay, but even inactive numbers were once active, right? so how the hell do we get off that list? just wait?

Everyone tells you not to answer. I got pissed off though and just started answering the calls and cussing them out. The calls actually stopped for me.
