I never, ever respond to political text messages. It is impossible (for me, anyway) to know which ones are scams -- and I suspect that most of them are -- and which might be legit.
Even the "legit" texts are a plague of spam in any case.
YMMV, but it looks from here like criminals have declared open season on our bank accounts.
