ActBlue text: meet Biden?

[Ashley&Scott]

We donated to Biden’s campaign. I just received this text, is it legit?

Ashley, do you want to meet Joe and Jill Biden?

If you pitch in now to reelect Joe, you (and a friend) can join the Bidens at a special event in Washington, DC. We'll take care of your flights and hotel too!

You won't want to miss this, Ashley. Make a donation now: secure.actblue.com/donate/p2p-

It sounds like if you donate now you could be selected to go to the event, not that you've already won something. Act Blue is a legit Democratic fundraising tool, but I never click on links I get from unsolicited texts.

I got one of these too. I assumed it was a donate and be entered for a chance to win type thing.

I got these texts in 2020. Also got texts to have a phone call with Biden or Harris. I don't think it's a scam (ActBlue is legit), but I'm not interested in doing things like that.

I’m sure it’s just a contest. But OMG I hate donating to Act Blue. They send so much spam! Call me a boomer but I usually send paper checks to oot candidates I want to donate to bc even the candidates’ own websites usually link to act blue for donations.

I got one too. I assume it means there is a chance to win a drawing if I donate again. I didn’t read it closely though.
