I've received two of these SMS texts now:
"Hi, it's Matt with Mike Bloomberg 2020. Election Day is around the corner and we deserve a Democrat nominee that will beat Donald Trump. Can I count on you to vote for Mike?"

I haven’t received one yet, but I’ve already seen that as an easy opportunity to [bleep] with their numbers.

I was getting them for Bernie.
Simply text back Trump2020 and they stopped.
I've hear of others doing it and then a live person asked if not Trump, who's their #2 choice?
I'd respond with "ham sandwich made with expired mayo..."

Unless I know who it is it is declined and blocked. Verizon supposedly put an Anti spam messaging in place.

I have received very few messages since Verizon sent me a text telling me they were monitoring spam.l

They have been for weeks. The best thing you can do is ignore it. If you respond at all it gives them a data point telling where to put their resources.

It might be a scam. My son just pointed out, "What the hell does he need money for? The guy is dumping a billion dollars of his own money in to it. He's got more money than all of us combined, and he wants people to donate to his BS."

I'd be shocked that some store manager actually knows what would be happening at a CEO/Bloomberg level decision tho.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Text back:
"Hi Matt! This is Selena. I'm so glad you signed up for my big butt women text-a-day.
I can't wait to tell you what I did with a whole ear of sweet corn. Stay tuned."
Guaranteed: You won't get another text from Matt.

Never put a phone number on your voter registration! Any a-hole running for election can get a voters list with all your contact info.
