Political Text…

SilentStalkr · Jul 21, 2024

How many of you are getting political texts with links to surveys and crap from people? I just got one from Donald Trump Jr. saying they need my help and to go complete surveys and junk. I don’t click on links that don’t come from a known source. As much as I am kind of curious, it’s not happening. Do you guys have some trusted ways of verifying stuff or are you like me and just ignore?

Spam if you do open them.

Yup, and IMO probably from the opposite side of wherever they claim to be...

Don't know for sure, because they get blocked & deleted.

I get texts from winred frequently... Usually for Trump or Cruz, but I assume those donations go straight to RNC which spends money actually trying to stop Trump endorsed candidates... Not a fucking chance.

This is exactly what I figured.

My poor trigger finger is worn to the bone replying "Stop" to all the political texts I have been receiving.

I'm very excited to know it's going to get much worse in the coming months.

Ronws · Jul 21, 2024

I ignore them. I will make my point known at the rigged ballot machine.

I simply block them all......

And that AT&T data breech was harmless. Coupled with the internet crash. I’ve gotten no less than 30 phone calls from solicitors in the last week about dumb shit.

I miss the “ we wanna buy your house calls” already

Haven't had a cell phone in almost a year now and fucking loving it.
Have told everyone I know or care to be in contact with to email me for contact.

So what you doing snail Mail? Most people don’t have landlines anymore.

IF you do choose to speak or take these surveys. ALWAYS lie to them. As they do to you. Never feed the enemy information.

Just e-mail, my wife has her cell so if there are any family emergency they all call her.
I still stay in contact with some but have none of the distraction or irritations of a cell phone.
It irritates my wife sometimes not being able to call me while I'm out but I can live with that.

WinRed.com is one of the official Trump 2024 sites, and the RNC has fired all the never-Trumpers and is now run by Lara Trump and another MAGA patriot- who together cut a lot of wasteful positions and spending.

no cell. land line only and i get a lot of BS calls. let them go to voice,sometimes then delete or just pick up and immediately hang up. regular email and am getting increasing #s of BS mails bypassing junk box. i just delete them. i get at least 6 pol paper junk daily in the mail box. big contribution to solid waste. i anticipate the increase will be lg. if not for such junk mail usps would be more bankrupt than they already are.

Once in a while, I would get a call from someone asking if I was still listing my property for sale. (I paid 65k in 2000.) I tell them it will cost 1.5 Million to buy it. They ask me if that is what I had listed it for. I said no, I did not have it listed but they were asking the price and I gave it to them. This happened a few times and then they quit calling.

Aw.....

I replied to every single one with my ex’s number saying call her for a good time

I've suddenly started to get a bunch myself.

I haven’t, but my wife’s phone phone’s been getting blown up with ‘em.

Darryle · Jul 24, 2024

I have a back up number, it was the old land line number that I got when I had a home security/dsl. I ported it to a cell when I got divorced just because the ex wanted to keep it and I wanted to be a dick.

I literally have not used it for anything except as a hotspot in the last 10yrs. It blew up about 3 months ago, I keep it on a charger cord and it asked for an update, I checked the messages out of habit and there were thousands from both parties. It took me 2 - 3 weeks of blocking numbers to slow the tide, but it still receives 1 - 2 a day.

I contacted the carrier about privatizing(sp?) the line or eliminating texts altogether and they said good luck, it was probably because of a data breach somewhere. It was originally a SBC/AT&T number/carrier issued line.

Having trouble using the site?
