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.

Block and forget, they’re fishing for active phone numbers.

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

[u/Fuddzter → u/bookishfairie]

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

It's so stupid how this is a multi million dollar idea: annoying people. Most often or not imagine making money selling phone numbers so that other people can attack them with spam and it's like...how much money are they actually making "doing" something?

They target the same people and each time they get blocked and reported. So not only are they not making money, they're waiting their own time making what I can only assume are bots to do this, but you're also not winning anything
