I didn’t sign up for any list. I also heard that you shouldn’t text STOP to these messages because they use that as confirmation of my number?
I reported it to spam, I’m just curious if these are legit and how you handle these?

Have had a few, I just block the number

I got one from “Lily” with the same script
A few months ago I started getting these texts from various women asking claiming to be from the federal conservatives, the provincial ones when an election was on and polling companies.
I got one a while back and did exactly the same thing. Don’t respond, block the number, report as spam.
Not necessarily the same thing, but it could be.

I haven’t got them (yet). Just use your device to block the number. If you want to register a complaint to the appropriate government department, that’s cool. I think interacting with the sender in any way (like texting “stop”) will result in you getting more of these messages in the future
The best way to turn out the vote is automated messages that mostly just annoy people.
