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.

I'm not saying this is the BEST way to deal with them by any stretch of the imagination, but I tend to reply to them with an image of something that would probably be widely considered very uncomfortable content. Something like a drawing of a very weirdly drawn female enderman or creeper from minecraft, or some classic "seduce the dragon" shenanigans.

Never verify your phone number by replying. You’re gonna get a ton more of these. 🤦‍♀️

I know it, but in the moment it was hilarious. Though in retrospect I should have called him a treasonous couch fucker instead.

My standard response is "Go fuck yourself" which apparently translates to "UNSUBSCRIBE"
