How to Avoid Spam During Elections and After
Elections are a popular time for text and phone scams like false voter registration, fake polls or fraudulent donation requests. While many are legitimate it can be hard to distinguish between real and fake solicitations. UScellular provides tips to avoid spam: If a text asks you to do something immediately, consider it a red flag. Don't respond to texts from questionable sources. Don't click on links in texts from unknown numbers. Don't answer or return calls from unknown numbers. If you answer such a call, hang up immediately. A "local" caller ID number does not always mean it is a local caller. Never give out personal information. Report spam to reportarobocall.com , or apps like SpamResponse or Call Guardian . #electionspam, #electiontext, #stopspam, #UScellular, #OutBoxComm, #MWat, #cellphonesafety, #wirelesssafetytips
