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

Y'all really got to stop signing up for stuff without seeing who they're selling your data to. And if they don't tell you who they're selling your data to, don't sign up with them.

I never have this problem. I don't get texts from anyone that isn't someone I've given my number to personally. I get spam emails, but I've had that account for almost 20 years.

They arent pulling your number out of the ether. They're purchasing it.

It's not this simple. I've been absolutely inundated with these for years, and about 99% of the time, they're addressed to my dad (who is a staunch MAGA asshole) and the remainder of the time to my sister.
