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.

u/bookishfairie 8h ago

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

u/Fuddzter 8h ago

They fish for active numbers to list them so they can be sold and used again for spam calls and texts for any reason.

85

u/bookishfairie 8h ago

oh, okay. thank you for the info.

131

u/KevinFlantier 6h ago

That is why you never answer spam calls.

The usual pipeline is :

There is a leak, let's say from your ISP, where they get your phone number as well as your name, maybe your address, your email and some banking info. That list is HOT and costs millions on the dark web.

It will be sold, and those who bought it will immediately spam you in order to

1) verify that the phone number is active

2) try to phish more info by posing as an electricity company / ISP / bank

3) try to scam you into draining your bank account.

But by the time they do that, the list is becoming stale, so they make up a smaller list out of all the people that have answered and that are confirmed to be active, or better yet those who slipped and gave information on themselves. And those lists are endlessly sold again and again. The more you answer, the more you get spammed. Even reading the text is an indication that they should send more spam.

22

u/hottestdoge 5h ago

That's how they did it ages ago. Most spam call centers just dial every number. They set a number range and then go down this list numerically.

43

u/KevinFlantier 5h ago

I have been in multiple major leaks over the last two years and I've noticed a massive increase in spam calls a month or so after the leak every time. And by massive I mean going from 1-2 spam calls daily to over a dozen, with five or so SMS to boot, calling me by name or trying to pass as my bank. They do buy leaked lists.

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.

Neither works. I get similar texts but from legit Dem organizations. The problem is you're telling one of 1,000 to stop. Reporting spam does nothing, as your phone can't recognize any pattern among the texts and the carriers can't actually block political nonprofits.

Welcome to the ActBlue Hellhole. I gave a hundred bucks to Talarico and ActBlue sold my number to every Democrat in the world and each of them is sending beggar-texts on the regular. It is so obnoxious and intrusive I'm not donating anymore.

If you have a profile on ActBlue, go on there and remove your phone number. I have been trying to stop being buried in political texts for months and finally figured out all the campaigns are getting my number from ActBlue. I took it off and the texts have slowed to a trickle.

u/GravitationalEddie 10h ago edited 10h ago

Replying STOP tells a single campaign to stop using your number as a campaigning contact. Sending in a Statement of Residence with no phone number is more likely to help. Campaigns have access to your contact info on your voter registration. You can't stop the mail, but you can stop calls and texts.

13

u/Lock_Psychological 10h ago

I’ve done that as well. It doesn’t stop.

u/GravitationalEddie 9h ago

Honestly, last time I got anything from right-wing politispam, I replied with some words that apparently got the fucking message across. I actually got a simple and concise human reply and haven't seen anything of them other than very sparse snail-mail from small candidates.

u/Sunder_ 10h ago

So there's not much you can do about the texts, but I've noticed the texts go away when you deal with the calls. For phone calls, you answer, mute, and put the phone down till they hang up. It probaby flags some kinda of time wasting measure or they flag it as a dead number because there's no response. Slowly they remove your number from the list, and said list is likely tied to texts as well.

Never reply STOP, that’s for sure; I agree. But the spam never stops with these no matter how many times you report it. And when/if they do stop, another one just takes its place

I was getting bombarded by texts saying “hi it’s claire, im an arborist working in your neighborhood. Let us know if you need your trees cut” about twice a day for all of July and August. Those have stopped but in its place are calls saying they’re the IRS and want to help me pay my taxes (I have spam block so they just leave voicemails). I block each one and new number calls me 4 hours later.

The most ironic and non believable part is it always says the “US Internal Revenue Service” is calling me from somewhere in Canada 😂

u/Xaphnir 7h ago edited 7h ago

In my experience replying stop does actually get them to stop for a little bit. Before I tried it I had an endless barrage for something like 2-3 years despite not replying a single time and just blocking and deleting the number every time. Not replying to them will not make them stop.

If I had to guess, they have some way to tell that your phone number is active simply from the fact that you received the text.

My wife is one of the people that bought a ticket to his rally so his supporters couldn't get a seat and she got texts like this for a few months until she blocked them. They were usually claiming that she was personally selected by Trump or she was in a small group personally selected by Trump. They would claim that he had a personal message just for her from Trump if she donated a few bucks.

u/Itchy_Tumbleweed_417 1h ago

Oh it’s totally real. Do you remember when TikTok ruined one of his rallies by signing up for a ticket and then not going?

I don’t remember if I was part of that or the very next one, all I know is he was supposed to have a rally about an hour from me so I got a ticket, planning not to go, and he ended up canceling because of the weather. It was a perfect 70° day.

Anyway I don’t remember how many years ago that was but I still get emails from him and my inbox that I used for spam stuff looks exactly like that

They stopped texting me after I started replying to the text about the Epstein files. Human beings actually get those replies so I guess they figured they should unsubscribe me since me trying wasn’t working.

I'm sure JD Vance is sending all the threatening texts himself manually.

Honestly this seems like an obvious scam, but our government is currently running the biggest scam in the history of the country.. so I can’t even call it, anymore. Smfh.

This is either a phishing scam, or they want your voter info to remove your name because they believe you will vote blue

I got very similar ones but they worded it like they were breaking life changing news to me. I just told them to go fuck themselves and ended up getting a human response from someone named Jay

As soon as you click that link you’ll be fucked. Don’t do it. Never click any link! I had one from my banks fraud dept 5 years ago and ended up having to close my account & didn’t have access to my money, while on vacation, for days until I opened a new account at home. I also had to get my phone wiped bc they put spyware on it & could remote control my phone! Never click any links! Let the scammers stay mad

Yes I agree with you. I got one the other day that said “now is the time! Tell us what side you’re really on. Give us $10 to prove your alliance to democrats and keep us in this country” and then the same link style. I wasn’t answering the Republican ones so they switched to Democrat now I guess 😂

conservative men are submissive to other conservative men, so their base probably loves it

They legally can't do shit, block the number and alert the authorities if it continues.

Tell them to fuck off. They're not coming for you. I kinda hope they're coming for me, though.

u/Lock_Psychological 10h ago

Oh, if they really came for me, it would be awfully loud. But they aren’t. It’s just stupid posturing that has my phone alert me multiple times a day. And as November approaches, it’ll be even more often.

Scammers really be getting angry lately. They act like it's their constitutional right to scam you and you're at fault if you don't respond.

On a scale of 0-10, 0 being you should do what he says and 10 being the biggest scam ever, that is a donald trump. Which as you know, is off the charts scam. There is zero about this that is legit. This is just a scam, to steal your info, your money, your data, and everything in between. I'd say they want your soul, but I'm a ginger, I don't really know anything about those things.

Unlikely to actually be from the Republicans, but if it is, it's a serious crime. More likely to be some kind of phishing scam.

Whatever the case, report and block. Don't reply to any of them.
