Why is it necessary to give them your number if you do a donation? It seems many here have the same negative experiences.
Is it an optional field?
If not one could practically enter any digits or can one get punished for that?
- redserk 2y agoActblue requires a phone number and email address. As far as I know, physically mailing a check is the best way to avoid sharing information as you only need to provide your name, address, and employer. This information is the only federally required information.
- sharpshadow 2y agoWhat would happen if you type in a pseudo email and number? What would happen if you type in a number of somebody else?
- digging 2y agoYou wouldn't get spammed.
- redserk 2y agoI don’t know. What’s weird is that I think it is up to the campaign to make sure they have valid contact information. So I suppose there is a risk that the campaign might get dinged?
- aendruk 2y agoHi, somebody else here. From experience, please don’t do that.
- trollbridge 2y agoYour phone number and e-mail address are more valuable to ActBlue than that $20 was. The credit card input screen was just there to make you feel comfortable consenting to endless SMS texts for life.
