      On my Pixel with Google Messages as my default SMS, if I report a text it automatically forwards the message to 7726. Every time I report a message I get a response from 7726 saying “Thank you for reporting…” blah blah blah.

    I did some digging.

    ERG National Research lists Jocelyne McFarquhar as Director. At the same address, ElectRight is Directed by Brett Harry McFarquhar. There are also three numbered companies at that address, one led by Brett, and by Nillambaran Ganenthiran.

    ElectRight.ca is an election marketing company. “We get people electes. The RIGHT way!” Reading through, they talk about their live team of cold-call operators who find potential votors and collate that information for their customer/candidate.

    Seems pretty close to illegal.

    They never reply whenever I respond to their survey question with wishes that they’re having a good day and asking how their data harvesting scam is going. ☹️

    Pirate Party, V6B 4A2, Grimpen. You’re welcome!

    (Vacuum six basements, four attics too. Can’t remember where that was from, but it is permanently in my mind).
