What’s the best way to irritate people sending me political spam text messages? (lemmy.world)

Every day I get at least 5, and I just hit the button to block them and report as spam. I don’t want to reply to the messages since that will probably only make it worse. Is there somewhere I can register the number that’ll spam them back or something?

Edit: legal suggestions only, please

I'm aware of foreign call centers, but how does all that translate to you knowing the spam calls are from homophobic people?

Also, I don't think we we're talking about the commenters send your image specifically were we? I think they were using past tense and speaking about black men in general.

Also none of it mentioned the man was gay. I don't think you can just assume all foreign call center workers are homophobic shitheads.

This has been a very confusing interaction. I don't think we're on the same page at all.

    Ah. My mistake. Not so much the Philippines, but India and Mexico have cultural stigmas that you can exploit if you ever have a day where you wish to be particularly upsetting to a phone scammer. It's obviously not all, but enough that it's worth rolling the dice.

    We're probably not, sorry for that
