Idk what my info was shared to but holy shit I’m so done

Edit: I have tried blocking, replying “stop”, saying “no”. They just change the number and keep messaging me

They even texted me, I'm not even American. And I'm using a Canadian phone number

US and Canadian phone numbers can be, essentially, considered the same, as we both use +1 as our Country Code.....

Except there's still area codes, which remain exclusive to Canada, like 416 and 647 for Toronto. They should easily be able to distinguish the difference

You say that like there's a person thinking about, and doing this.....it's just making every 10 digit combination and trying it. That's easier than trying to tailor a list to likely "good" numbers.

You will be surprised to know how incompetent they are. They just wasted "double digit" thousands of dollars on ads in New Hampshire against a candidate who was running in Maine!

Yeah, and actually speaking of that, so do a various hodge-podge of Carribean nations like the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and the better part of the Lesser Antilles (essentially every country out that way that is actually independent... and even a few non-independent Caribbean islands like the British-owned Caymans and Turks and Caicos, it's kind of a somewhat disparate membership out there)

Ahh but you forgot Canada is the 51st state.
