That text asking you for a political donation might actually be a SCAMMER trying to get your credit card info. The Better Business Bureau says election-themed scam texts are a huge thing now.
Sometimes, they don't even ask for money. They might just tell you to click a link and take a poll to earn a "free gift." Then they eventually say you just have to cover the shipping. And that's when they ask for your credit card.
The Better Business Bureau says if you get ANY unsolicited texts like that, you shouldn't respond or click on any links.
The safest way to donate to a candidate or a political party is through their official website.
