I recommend not texting back stop, not unsubscribing to emails from sources you have never done business with, or answering calls from unknown calls. (Unless you are expecting a call from an organization like state agencies or say a doctors office that might not use a known number, or a return call from a business.)

Unsolicited contact is usually from unethical jerks, that don¡¯t care what you say.?
