My husband and I both received text from Beto. It irritated both of us.
I’ve received an unsolicited text from someone claiming to be Mitch McConnell (855) 479-7987, and another one from someone claiming to be Lindsey Graham (same number) asking for donations.
I also recently received one from Keven Cramer asking for a donation.
Don’t really appreciate it, but I can’t assume it’s really Mitch, or Lindsey, or Kevin who sent them. Could be a democrat or a con artist (I know, right?) for all I know.
The best way to respond to voice calls soliciting for Democrats is to ask if they can hold on, put them on hold, and do not return to the call until they hang up.
The best way to respond to their unsolicited text messages is to report them as SPAM to your carrier. Every carrier has a way to do this, and they take it very seriously.
The text spammers cannot detect if their messages are being received, and they pay per text. The carriers who receive lots of SPAM complaints will completely block their texts from coming through on that particular carrier.
I’ve been getting them and I am beyond outraged.
On my cellphone, I’ve gotten spam from teamBeto addressed to my wife and daughter, and spam from the Republicans addressed to me.
Looks like both sides are
1)Spammers
and
2) Stereotyping
Everyone please note that if you have received SPAM from Beto O’Roarke’s campaign, you can join a class action law suit that was filed yesterday:

The demand is for $500 per message, which might very well get paid. I’ve received a very small amount from such a class action suit for illegal text spamming. The attorney is not named in the article.
This is a fake lawsuit announced JUST to get an idea of how effective the texting campaign is by the responses they get. Free.
We got them email, snail mail and on the phone. We are repubs and were furious.
“The Beto-bots are all over Texas. All dress the same. Drive the same cars. Probably all have the same sexual preferences too lol.”
They sound a lot like NPC’s.
I get a lot of similar texts from the RNC with various names being used as the person doing the plea for cash...told them that and all the emails (up to 60+ a day) are turning me way off....last text message started with something like, “You are probably getting a lot of text messages lately, but.....”
Yep. Heard about that parody. Right on target. They have been programmed from birth to think white males are destroying the world through global warming. The player characters however know we are in an interglacial period. That is why it is warm. That is just one example.
They’d better win their suit.
I just got a “robotext” a half hour ago stating “Jane, it looks like you may be registered to vote in Texas. Vote for Beto...”
The problem? Myriad problems. Far worse than just the unsolicited campaign ad.
First off, “Jane” is my ex-wife, from whom I’ve been divorced for more than a decade. And neither one of us has lived in Texas since 2002(!)
This sh*t is out of control. They need to RICO the crap out of the scumbags who are doing this.
