    Don’t reply to scammers, it just confirms to them it’s an active number.

          Oh well that’s probably true. But I already get a ton. I don’t respond though. In fact, that number was a rarity in that it’s the second time they used it.

      I think in this case the concept is that you are sending a thank you to Kamala Harris? So it’s supposed to make you feel like you will be contacting her directly in some roundabout way. So in that case although the text is to you, the thank you they are requesting you sign is to Kamala Harris.

        I knew about that being the reason for grammar mistakes, but I would never think about such illogical stuff
