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.

Mark it as spam. If you reply stop, it verifies that your phone number is active

I’ve reported it… probably 100+ times.

This reads like voter intimidation to me.

I would call the non-emergency police number and report receiving multiple threatening messages. You're likely one of many people targeted/spammed this way, and you'll have electronic records as evidence for any investigation.

Sorry this is happening to you!
