- never signed up for anything like this,
- never donated to or signed up for emails from the DNC, et al.,
- political texts like this come all the time, and
- I hesitate to reply “stop” because I don’t want them to know this is a live number (is my instinct here outdated/inapplicable?)
There’s no “Report Junk” on iOS Messages unless it’s an email address texting you.
Every message I have received on my iPhone from someone not in my contacts has this after that latest message:
Not true—I just successfully reported this text as junk. It tries to auto-detect spam, and coming from an email address is one of the signs of that, but not the only one.
You must have seen the older phishing attempts with caller’s named “Potential Spam”
Not sure if that technique still works but you can still mark callers as junk/spam.
Really? I wonder why. Though I’ve always assumed the one on my phone was from Verizon, not the app or the OS.
