Stop Unwanted Robocalls and Texts

[asiliveandbreathe]

I suspect we are in for a bumpy ride up to election day. I received a robo text yesterday..Rick Harrison from TV show Pawn Stars for Adam Laxalt NV..I am in AZ...# was 1-725-258-3369

"Ron Desantis knows Adam is the real deal, Adam Laxalt is running for US Senate in NV. blah blah blah..and he is being attacked by the DEM elites and libs whohave spent over $60 million to destroy his campaign. Nothing would m me happier than to hand themb a humiliating defeat. Touting 3X matching donation for Adam..an offer you can't refuse.."

Some of my response - Take your racist insurrection demolition derby BS %^^$&* watch WOMEN of this country - the rest is *&^%$^*()..and added "you have permission to fwd to little di.. desatan and mushromm di*^ too!!

Recv'd another robo text right after my response # 1-267-774-3235 with an http - I checked using another device - the http went to dr oz..Reported both #s to fcc at link..

5. I'd pay an extra $10 a month to YouTube Tv if they...

Would turn all Political ads into pups playing or 70s music.

6. I'm on the Do Not Call Registry but still get plenty of spam calls, so

I highly doubt that reporting spam texts to the FCC will do anything either. If you report or block the number the text came from, the spammers just use a different number next time.

7. Yes, but has cut down on calls and texts..I suspect after the election will die

down for a while..I hear what you are saying..but makes me feel bettah!!

10. I'd try it but I only get political spam texts from Democrats, LOL.

I have been getting phishing attempt spam texts from "Netflix," "Amazon," "FedEx," etc. I report them to the real companies -- for all the good that'll do, either!

8. Endorsed by DuhSantis is all I would need to know.

I usually lay the phone down on unwanted solicitation calls and let them waste their time and breath.

11. This was a text..I don't answer calls I don't recognize..true..when I saw desatans

name in text I wanted to stop reading, but I was pissed..and did respond..I know I shouldn't have..

14. I got three in a row on the same day, DeSantis, Ron Johnson, and OZ

this happened a couple of days ago. I have an East Bay area code. It doesn't get much Blue'er.. it's dense population is so Blue, you'd have to pour boat loads of purple to make it even slightly red.

I'm guessing the Russians/RNC hacked into the DNC data base again to scrape up the phone number for their campaigns.

I wish that was an election fraud crime. a federal crime, but I think it's perfectly legal as they say.

In any event, I had some words in response as readers here might imagine, then I manually reported/blocked/deleted.

I haven't received any since, but it's early days. .

I'd very much like to know what I can do to prevent these texts and calls in the first place.

16. I know I know..was interesting though, right after my response the dr oz

text came through..maybe..maybe not..
