Karen Zack: The standard advice is never click a link in a text from an unknown number. Only low-info people would click these. I type Stop multiple times a day.

We got any pollsters here? If so, please ‘splain yourselves: how am I, a geriatric millennial, supposed to trust such a suspicious looking link?

I have zero trust that these are legit political groups, zero trust that they represent the parties they claim to, and zero trust that this would result in anything other than identity theft and being put on a list for 100 more scams.

It makes me feel slightly better that we’re all getting them and all ignoring them, tbh

Yep. And in the offhand chance that any of these are real, this is why I don’t pay attention to polls, bc who is gonna respond?
