The Uber incompetent Trump campaign has mistakenly gotten my phone number.

They call me Alice (not even close).I have been getting texts from the Don and his demon seed et al begging me to donate to stop the horror that will take place if Joe Biden and his ilk take over. Originally, I wanted to block the number but then I began to fantasize; what if Alice was a mega millionaire; what if she doesn't respond; what if she feels slighted that the idiots haven't reached out to her and refuses to donate? I will be that Alice...

1. I got one or two emails and texts

and then very quickly both my email and phone decided they were spam and sent them to the appropriate trash bin. haha

2. I get a lot of calls that I don't answer.

If it's not in my contacts file... not answering.

I do admire your line of thinking and if it isn't a burden, definitely DO it.

3. I got a text from Lindsey yesterday

begging for money. I replied that they had the wrong guy, and that I am on the other side. They thanked me for my reply. Very cordial.

9. My response: "You take Rubles, don't you?"

"Go get 'em from Vladdy-Daddy."

5. I get them on my work phone

Th woman who had my office and phone previous to me was a crazy religious right wing but. She was nice too really. When I first started there the call surprised me then I remembered who used to have that office.

6. Speaking from experience...

...if "Alice" was a deep pockets donor, they weren't relying on text ads to get her cash.

7. I don't know where they got their lists

I’ve been getting texts from Republicans left and right. I’ve taken to texting back a cheerful message thanking them for reminding me to donate to their opponent. Hasn’t worked to deter them.

8. I get emails to "Regino" (not even close) from the Trump campaign

That are a hoot.

10. They get the numbers from all sorts of random places.

Google your name and your phone number. Look at all the wrong numbers:

Here are ours from a site called ClusterMap. Only the landline is correct. My two sons have wrong cell phone numbers. The only reason I didn't draw red from my daughter's was because it was our landline. However, it is also wrong because she has not lived her for 12 years. So 3/4 numbers are wrong.

There is no longer a phone book and cell numbers are obtained from "vendors" or from "surveys" or "bonus rewards" etc. It is not very reliable.

11. Do they simply assign names? Mine is Alice.

12. Your number is probably erronenously "associated", with someone named Alice

This Alice person may have entered a phone number somewhere on a sales receipt or something..her handwriting may have been bad that day.

We have a phone number associated with us that has the wrong area code. My area code is 210, but the associated number is 240. It looks like someone had bad handwriting that day.

The numbers are not "assigned", they are "associated", there is a big difference. Cell numbers in "public records" are based on surveys and guesses, not assignment. Cell phone associations are about as reliable as email associations.

13. I seem to have "Walter" and "Scott". Weird.

14. Elaine here. I know I am just replying to a bot account but

I amuse myself with it. For example, Elaine (not my name) got a text from. Trump telling her to request her absentee ballot and that absentee ballots are good but not mail in ballots.

So my reply is: OK boss. Request the ballot but don't mail it. Gotcha! Way to own them libs!

15. Ok. Not Ok. Kkkarl just over weighed in.
