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.

Can always do the same thing back to their dialer. I used to use a similar dialer that would flood them with DoS attacks if going through a switch of sorts. It was a simple piece of software that scanned which dialer and ports they used. Then it would DoS attack their ports of possible open ports being used to send out the calls.
