The ads were mostly about boner pills, crypto currency and gambling. Basically the contents of your spam folder.

They are cheaper, you don't have to give out your credit card number, and they work just as well.

Keep them guessing...

They get all lot of those numbers from services like Been Verified. So I got one from a Republican campaign for a district in which I don't live. It said, "Hi John..."...Well, I'm not John...

So I put my phone number in Been Verified....It says that the number is associated with John GXXXX at an address in that district...Then, I start getting text messages and phone numbers wanting to buy my home at that address...LOL

The punch line is that I moved from Virginia a couple of years ago, but my cell number didn't change. I just read them and smile.

I'm on a bunch of those email lists. Could have been a typo by a Trump supporter, sloppy handwriting by a Trump support etc.
Could have been one of those silly, "What do you really think about Trump" data mining polls or any of those data mining polls from a Republican. Could have been a spamming random email generator thing.

I got emails from Trump and also from “Hillsdale College via Conservative Direct”.

I unsubscribed each one, marked as spam and crossed my fingers that’s the last I hear of that crap. Not sure how I got on the list. But this email address where they came to me is the one connected to my Facebook account.

That could explain it.



As an aside, I actually find my Facebook account useful and trying to replace the functionality it currently offers me would be difficult. But, I would welcome another ‘community-based bulletin board’ utility if it was adopted by the same people with whom I connect on Facebook. Facebook needs regulation, agreed.

I think it’s because I signed up for tickets to several of his KKK rallies during the 2020 campaign. Tickets to rallies that I had no intention of attending.
