WinRed Avis 3 731

TOTAL GARBAGE ORGANIZATION!!! Back in 2016, I made ONE donation to WinRed, for TRUMP... sometime after 2020, I started receiving MASSIVE amounts of robo-text messages (usually a half dozen a day), from a bazillion OTHER POLITICIANS asking for donations... they ALL route to WinRed for processing, but contacting WinRed (who a) shared my phone number without my consent b) allows these spammers to continue spamming millions daily, they claim there is "nothing that can be done". Which is pure BS - they *could* take the info of WHO is doing the spamming & STOP DOING BIZ WITH THEM. THEY (WinRed AND all their affiliate spammers hiding behind them) OUGHT TO BE PROSECUTED & FINED, MASSIVELY - with proceeds going to everyone on their text/call records, who a) is registered in the national DO NOT CALL/TEXT REGISTRY b) or has replied "stop" to them - seems they just open a new phone number, and resume the spamming.

As you can plainly see in Reddit forums as well as Law_DOT_com (cannot paste links here), IAM NOT ALONE! This is endemic & NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

50 text messages per day, many for Pacs and not the candidate they tout. I am refusing to give any money ever again to any candidate using the WinRed platform for scam text messaging, Republican Patriot.

I get bombarded with texts from this group. I emailed them to take me off of their lists, they emailed me back and said they could not do that because they couldn’t verify if it were me or not. What a bunch of rubbish, I get at least 20 texts a day. I wish I had never heard of WinRed. Not only that, if you donate, in the small print they say not affiliated with with the specific person they are saying is asking for the donation. Not trustworthy, if nothing else but for that.

I’ve never been so abused by a company for donating my hard earned money.Its almost like WinRed is trying to harvest the negative energy I feel being spammed several times daily. Candidates begging for money or a 10x match money scam. I’m feeling that Don Jr and DJT actually have nothing to do with it. Maybe Kushner is sending the money to Israel , but it isn’t going where it’s supposed to go.I don’t think my worst enemy could abuse me any more “textually”. I truly believe my donating to WinRed has been one of the worst mistakes I have ever made.

This is this is the second time, I have donated to a candidate and WINRED has hit my credit card a second time in less than 7 days for another donation! Both times, I indicated on the donation form that this was "one time donation"! From now on I will send a check made out to the candidate's election fund. I will no longer use WinRed for anything!
The Republican Election Establishment BITES!

This company hides behind the guise of “if the link sent to you isn’t from us we can’t do anything about it” but winred allows companies to scam people

They badger me with 50 text messages and day. I'm constantly blocking them but they must have millions of numbers! I donated $500 and asked that they cut back on the spam but that only increased the spam. So I recommend you don't give them money I certainly won't!

In the 2024 election I signed up with WinRed providing my business phone number not knowing what they’d do with it. :-(

Ever since, I’ve been harassed with unwanted texts every day with politician URL’s along with a few obnoxious messages. I since removed my WinRed membership hoping it would stop the harassment but it didn’t change a thing!

This means my mobile notary business is affected each day with my being summoned all day with politician contacts! Whenever I’m summoned to my iPhone I use the “stop” feature that comes with the text. I learned the stop feature doesn’t stop future contacts since they just get another number to text me again.

I learned if I respond in the text message they actually see the message even though it’s not a valid call number only texting. These idiots will continue harassment with insidious attitudes with intent to harass me the rest of my phone number’s ownership.

In summary, WinRed created a fake contact venture of daily abuse. I’m no longer a member but my phone number is used by these politicians all day long and they don’t care at all about this problem. The attitudes toward my responses to these harassers is as if they own me.

WinRed Founders are Donald Trump, his son in law Jared Kushner with Garett Lansing in charge according to AI.

It’s harassment each and every day!!!!

I can't believe this is actually a conservative organization legitimately. They are going to make conservatives lose so many votes. I have never donated, never given any information out, the texts address me as a different name, I text Stop or End, I mark as spam and block, and I am just texted from a new number. Over 25 per day. Makes me and everyone that gets these in a bad mood. Causes distractions. So terrible. How can we make this stop? I've gone to the site and tried to email them and fill out anything to ask for them to stop communicating with me, to not share or sell my information, etc and it continues incessantly. Our country and its make belive politics are a mess!

WinRed is just a crooked for-profit text and email “Spam Factory” total Frankenstein horror story that can’t be stopped and will give-out your personal information to any and every sleaze-bag organization !!

I am a GOP contributor but will no longer donate to any candidate who uses the WinRed platform. WinRed says they do not share my info but I get HUNDREDS of unsolicited text massages from candidates using their platform. I am not sure why they get away with it. 🙄

I receive dozens of unwanted texts and emails weekly, sometimes as many as 30 in one day all linked to Secure.winred. Obviously, even if I wanted to financially support every Republican nationwide I could not do so. I often get followup texts
that are basically offensive saying I must be a Democrat now and one well known Republican Senator supposedly sent me a followup text saying, and I quote “I’m so disappointed I could piss in my pants” Disgusting! If this harrassment continues voters will jump ship, and one of them may be me.

Constant texts and calls no matter how many time I text stop or unsubscribe. Always extremely inflammatory content. I have submitted multiple complaints to the FCC now. This is harrassment that has been going on for almost 3 years. I get more than 500 texts a week. I never signed up.

Horrible. 100s of win-red texts per day.Nothing stops them. Not "STOP", reporting to carrier, not blocking caller.
Entering 1 date on the "Experience" section is joke. How about 2 years of being hassled?

Donated to one candidate, one time. Did NOT want to be eternally added to the contact list for ALL candidates everywhere in this country. WinRed offers no way to get my information taken down and added to a no-contact list. They try to pass blame to individual campaigns. Never donating again. If anyone manages to get a class-action suit going against these guys, count me in.

Not that I expect anything but scam from reichwing but this is ridiculous! They are grifting anything that moves.
Endless scam texts despite multiple attempts to opt out. Moreover, no means to contact them.
It's amazing that most of those abused believe that "if only President Trump knew about it!". These individuals deserve what's coming to them. Especially those gullible enough to give money.

12-25 texts per day. All of them asking for money and most for campaigns or issues I have no interest following. They are a total pain. Plus I now have my name and phone number spread over 100+ organizations across the USA,

WinRed is the epitome of all that is wrong with U.S. politics today. I donated to one candidate, one time, and have been hounded mercilessly since then. You've all seen it. You get an unsolicited text. Replying STOP just gives your info to more scammers and does nothing. Blocking the number does nothing because they just spoof their number to work around your block. They don't care that you are never gonna donate. It doesn't cost them anything to continue filling up your message box.

Here are some things that specifically bug me.

1. They say that if you close your account with them, you'll eventually stop getting deluged - NOT TRUE. I've been dealing with this for multiple years. I am about to the point where I will have to get a new number, even though I have had this one for almost 20 years.

2. They try to act all innocent by saying "It's not us. It's the fundraisers using our platform. You can just reply STOP" - NOT TRUE in my experience.

They seem to believe they have no culpability for their customers abusing the platform they provide. This means that either:

a) the platform they provide is crap
b) they just don't care that they are making all our lives miserable.

I have contacted WinRed support regarding this issue, and believe the answer is probably b) and may be a) as well. Based on my interaction, they could not care less as long as they are pulling in the money from the fundraisers.

Of course, this is all just my opinion. I could be wrong. My sugestion - never ever donate to the GOP if you don't want your message box to be hell.

I am sure all the Blue donors are laughing now. I have donated there, and they are bad as well, but they actually seem to honor "STOP" requests. I originally thought the platform was the same company as WinRed, but clearly not, given the different results.

The good news is that I believe Cloaked is working on an upgrade to help stop the spam texts.

I feel extorted for time and patience with these people.

I get an email saying give to get $5k from tariffs, and the same day a text saying give to get some other #!?

Completely drained my 87 year old mothers bank account. These vampires use deceptive website/email tricks to get donations from our vulnerable community.
