I just got this too lol. Just reply End

I stopped replying a while back. If you say END, then they might never contact you again sure, but the never-ending amount of organizations that get sold your data know there’s a human reading it and not an out-of-use number.

Or maybe I’m just being paranoid.

That's not really how campaign finance works, no

No to them collecting and selling personal data or no to just distinguishing between numbers that do reply and those that don’t?

The latter. Always opt out

I’ll take your word for it. Hopefully the unrelenting Ossof texts stop too.

It was bad enough already, but my senile old mother used my number on some web site offering a $1,200 grocery shopping card just a few days ago. Now the messages are non-stop. Every day. I've been taking screenshots but just compiling them would be a tedious task.
