US politicians not making literally everything about race challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]
I like to waste as much time as possible with them because I have no life
Actual scambaiting is the closest thing I have to religion these days
Hey, it's White dudes for Harris. We're getting ready to promote Kamala Harris this November and we need your help. Our first call is this Monday at 8pm EST - will you join us?
On the one hand, thank you for being an accessibility buddy. On the other, shall we also transcribe the number and web address of my spammer, too?
till
emails
Mildly infuriating, indeed.
Reminds me how I didn’t know that ’til and till are both words until way too recently
"White dudes for Harris"
Respond to nothing. Block everything.
I have a Pixel. I did not realize how bad this gets until work made me take an iPhone as my work phone. Holy hell. No amount of "Delete and report as junk" helps.
Your country is crazy.
I get maybe 3-4 spam messages a year and those are all scams, not ads, much less political ads (which I don't think would even be legal)
Is the reason I dont ever see these because pixel hides these
Yeah google messages has pretty good automatic spam detection, you can check the spam folder and see how many are in there.
Lately my Pixel cant even keep up with all of them and some are slipping through. Going into the spam folder is almost comical.
I consider myself lucky because I can't recall ever getting any messages like that from either side. Closest I've come is mail for local candidates for non-presidential office.
Sounds legit.

Remarkably, yeah. I always get a little political text spam, but since early ’24 it’s been harassment.
Seems more like…Harrissment
God damn I love my Google phone. Every once in a while I check my call logs and spam text folder to see the hundreds of calls and texts it screens for me, without any notifications. It's nice
Call screening is honestly one of the best features to ever come to a phone. I really wish this could be added to every handset.
It is easily the most important feature on my phone. The call screening and spam blocking is unparalleled. I don't think I have had anything blocked that shouldn't be, and it maybe messes up 5 or less times a year.
when it started getting really bad, i started replying stop. it maybe made things a little better but i still get a fair number if these (including this one). it definitely hasn't made it any worse.
Isn't there a risk that the number you reply to might be a premium rate number, and replying at all might land you a big charge?
I don't get many of these types of messages, but I always just block them.
I guess I'll find out. I have wondered if any of these are just scams.
I've had decent luck replying with goatse with trump's face shopped in, gotten multiple 'i'm just going to unsubscribe you' messages back hahaha.
Meanwhile I've actually donated and gotten zip,
Someone probably gave them your phone number
Is there still a pro revenge Lemmy community bc I have some ideas
Filters are your friend. If this is a text message, there are SMS apps which can filter messages by content.
I block all unknown numbers.
