Got many of those daily text messages with the last election cycle.
Every time from a different number. Same org. The titles became emotional and hilarious after a while. Wish I'd saved them.
"Stop" did not do anything.

I recently ticked off the wrong scammers:
Acted like the old confused man in a croaking voice with tons of debt who didn't know what to do.
[Be careful not to use your real voice. Deepfakes...]
Got 'elevated' to the next tier scammer.
Then I played them an insulting song. Several times.
They started calling from numbers spoofed from every state. For several weeks. Where is the FCC?
I ignored most of them. Put them on block. Maybe they will run out of spoofed phone numbers?

Call-backs lead me to a pre-recorded message of "wrong number"..
And finally busy signals every single time..
If they are going to waste my time, I am going to waste theirs.

And then it stopped.
