It’s been going on for months and no matter how many I mark as spam and block they keep coming back with new numbers!
Makes me wonder if someone signed me up for something
Lol and they’re trying to sue Gmail for blocking them.
I wish i could block gmail’s \ invited you to view a file “
How is this not illegal, but sending spam emails is? What a messed up world.
Damn good question.
If you sign up for the do not call registry it IS illegal.
Naw, the politicians gave themselves immunity…
Legality never stops a Republican.
Illegal in Australia. Obviously doesn’t stop scammers though, but most everything else.
Regrettably, political parties are exempt from the DNC Register, even in Australia.
“Registered charities, educational institutions calling students, government bodies and registered political parties are exempt and are allowed to make telemarketing calls to numbers on the register”
Oh, didn’t know. Guess they realise it’s bad PR. Can’t say I’ve ever had much more than mail drops.
“I will always love you…”
Literal stalkers. Fucking creepy.
Whitney Houston: Excuse me?
In my country, I can just report the numbers, and the regulation agencies come down like a ton of bricks on them.
Ah, you have an effective county in this regard. In the US, our lawmakers specifically carved out exceptions for political spam.
In my country, Politicians are the ones who write the law so they explicitly carved out “Political speech” as exempt in our very lax SPAM laws.
Technically I should be able to do so in mine too, but they are soo many calls from so many different numbers it doesnt work
So who loves you that you blocked and deleted their number? Lol.
Four dots for an ellipsis? What a monster!

What makes you think they are looking for smart voters?
Yeah, they definitely don’t need to worry about their non-existent smart voters😂
If you read them from the bottom up, it’s like they’re from a super crazy ex.
Grifters gonna grift. They want that sweet sweet donation money.
If you have an iPhone, search for your cell provider by name. Many offer free sms spam blocker apps, like T-mobile’s “Scam Shield”.
You can also log into your carrier’s website to see if there are any free spam blocking features there.
Sounds like Gym Jordan’s team was wrong to think they could count on you!
That’s a typo of the cleverest variety considering the millions of human-hours of misery and self harm that occurred after
- hundreds of athletes were sexually abused at the school where he was a wrestling coach and
- Jordan became aware of the abuse, and even worse than saying nothing, he also begged victims and their families to deny it as well
Not a typo, I’m deliberately referring to exactly those crimes of his.
referring to exactly those crimes
Thank you for your service.
Next time someone complains about cancel culture, let’s all remember to enlighten them about Gym fucking Jordan, whose ethical bankruptcy has gone unpunished and almost seems forgotten.
I’m also rather fond of the nickname Dim Moran
I’m Don Jr I’m here asking for your opinion not money $.
Should I buy 5 pounds of coke or 8… never mind I’ll just buy 12.
Digging into the FCC’s website reveals that robotexts are illegal without prior consent. However, if they hand enter the message, that’s legal.
That lines up with my experience the one time I kept getting annoying political texts. There was a human at the other end. They happily removed my number from their list after I threatened to vote for the other team if they kept harassing me. But that was the Democrats.
You can try some of the FCC’s recommendations, but I would generally assume malice in this instance. The political entities will probably disappear before anything can be done.
Report Unwanted Calls and Texts
If you think you’ve received a political robocall or text that does not comply with the FCC’s rules, you can file an informal complaint with the FCC at fcc.gov/complaints. If you are receiving texts that you didn’t ask for, report the sender by forwarding the texts to 7726 (or “SPAM”). Campaigns should also honor opt-out requests if you reply “STOP.”
Replying to spam is usually just a way to confirm that the victim is a “life” one.
some of those say they came directly from mr.trump himself /s
Damn that seems really infuriating. Where I live there’s a government program to forbid anyone to send you ads or political propaganda (and the best part is that you can report those who slip through the net!) It isn’t fool proof but it did decrease the amount of calls from people trying to sell me shit I don’t want.
Then you got poor Whitney Houston near the bottom
It’s legal to buy your information from data brokers. No need for someone to sign you up for anything.
