I am having issues posting on any TD board so thought I’d put this here. If not appropriate please feel free to move or delete. But I am sick and tired of political spammers and we have no way to fix it because they just use different numbers to get around it.

Here is what I’m doing now when they soam me:

XXX, Mike Pence here.

Just last week, Karen and I made the important decision to announce my candidacy for President of the United States of America after watching the Radical Left destroy our nation and treat our people with disrespect.

Since my announcement, we've had thousands of supporters give to our campaign, but I'm still well short of the 40,000 benchmark needed to secure a spot in the first Republican Presidential Debate.

That's why I am personally reaching out to you.

Will you help me secure a spot on the debate stage with a small gift today? Xourusa.co/27RPUC

I refuse to sit on the sidelines for this most important battle, and I need your help to ensure I can stay in this race.

If I can count on you, XXX, please rush your support to help me secure a spot on the debate stage here: Xourusa.co/27RPUC

My reply:

frick off

Their reply to my reply:

You have successfully unsubscribed and will receive no additional messages from this number.

—-

My reply to their reply from my first reply to their first spam:

Take me off ALL your fricking numbers!! No more fricking spam from anyone. Every spam text from a grifting RINO I am giving $25 to your Dem opponent. frick you all for spamming me night and day.

——

Their bot reply:

You have successfully unsubscribed and will receive no additional messages from this number.

—————

Once you are in their database its just constant. Winred is the original culprit and I won’t give to any of these spamming RINOS nor their money grabbing sites. I gave to Trump and a House rep 2-3 years ago asm y most recent ones and never again. If I want to donate it will be through a means to go around these money pimping collecting sites. But now I’m in their database and they won’t take me off, they just spam with a different number of which they likely have thousands or more to use. I’ve written my House Rep to complain with no luck.

I don’t think the Pubs realize all the damage they are doing

Not political in nature, but I get a few telemarketer calls a day from the same local area code and prefix, with slightly different numbers at the end.

There's no way to block it, because the number changes each time, and reporting them doesn't seem to do any good.

Almost every single one of these have a real business or personal caller ID associated (that's not theirs).

It's infuriating, and has to be illegal, right?

I honestly think they all share lists.

If you ever donate to anyone, ever, you'll be on political spam lists in perpetuity, it seems.

Thats the thing, when the law came out they have to honor no call list most people only had home phones and businesses had one or a few phones. So if a business or entity was asked to stop they did.

But now they get around it by saying you will not receive anything more “from this number”. But since they have thousands of numbers its a scam.

It should be criminal. And we have no recourse. I used to just block them (still do) but now I mess with them a bit. But as you can see they have bots trained to auto reply to replies. When I first replied “FO” last year I never got a reply. But now when I say “FO” they must have programmed the bot to take me off that number. But same day I’ll get more spam from another one.

Here’s another one I got today:

Maybe I'm preaching to the choir here.

Maybe I set expectations too high.

We were confident that more God-fearing Americans would have had the guts to step up and give us their feedback.

So we'll try this one more time & I hope you will help us out, XXX.

We know things are crazy these days, but we really would appreciate it if you participated in my first Conservative Census of the 2024 Election Cycle.

It's only 4 questions & should take less than a minute or two to complete.

We truly value this feedback from grassroots conservatives & without it- we would be flying blind into the most important election of our lives.

Thank you.

I don't care which side planks these issues but they get my vote

#1 Day after you pay your taxes, is is a national holiday. As a courtesy you get down time after a vigorous rodgering

#2 Get the corporations out of the ballot box

#3 3 - 6 months to run for POTUS. 1-3 months to run in more local races

#4 Brings back privacy rights now stolen by Google / FaceBook / for their profit not yours.

#5 National "Do Not Contact" Law so if Telemarketers annoy you, you can demand money from them, and the law will give you (the consumer) lien power on collecting.

#6 Annex Canada and declare war on Central America all the way down to the Panama Canal. Long term that is a MUCH smaller border to defend and wipe out the drug trade.

I like your points!

Ok, so I got a 3rd spam today, its out of hand!!

Team Haley here, XXX. You've been identified as a top conservative & undecided 2024 primary voter. If that's true, Nikki would LOVE to earn your support. We just have one small ask of you: Give her the chance to debate.

Will you chip in just $1 to help her exceed the RNC's grassroots donor requirement? Xred23.co/5FL59S

The best thing you can do to see how Nikki stacks up to Trump, DeSantis, Pence & other contenders is make a low-dollar contribution to her campaign today! Xred23.co/5FL59S

Pass a law that no site can use candidates name in any money making way. Then make every candidate disclose weekly any money they get from any they approved of.

I would reply that XXX makes it look like Haley is a porn loving tranny and probably probably a Commie trying to elicit East Bloc mail order brides for infiltration as sleepers in decent rural Merican homes.

Lol, I just entered XXX where it had my name. And I put an X in fromt of their links so they wouldn’t accidently work.

And their autobot replied with the same thing when I sent my FO reply.

Poli-donor spam texts are out of control.

It's not even election season and I still get them pretty regularly.
