Scamming - Fraud
I have received the Tobin Tobin Research text messages below and want to know if they are scams before clicking or following the links. The text message claims Jen Tobin Study wants me to take a private survey and guarantee my voice will be listened to. If you have any information, please share in the comment below.

This sounds like just another far-left scheme to selectively claim "political endorsements" while looking for personal information to exploit.
Sad get a life
I looked up the organization which seems legit - begun in 2005. https://tobinproject.org/about/. Note it has a .org suffix so not a for profit. Also, when I typed in the full address for the opinion poll on my own instead of going through the link, it did take me directly to the poll.
Where did they get my phone number with my name? I'm not answering!
How does this work because it's not working
I entered the www address and nothing came up to interact with. Suggest people ignore.
It asked for a password but one of the letters has a little mark over it (that is used in a foreign language) that's not on my keyboard so it wouldn't accept it. Made me suspicious
https://www.tobinproject.org/about/I started answering the questions, which were about political leaders in Wisconsin, and never finished it.

I got one too and will be tearing it up. There is nothing I could find to legitimize it
I received a legit looking postcard from Tobin Research inviting me to take the Wisconsin opinion poll. It said I was one of "a small number of people who had been chosen to participate. You were randomly chosen to represent the opinions and experiences of people in your area. It is not affiliated with any political party or candidate." To access the survey, it gave a website address and a password. It asked me to respond by April 18, 2023 to ensure my opinions were represented in their survey. However, when I enter the website address (www.wiopinionpoll.com), it doesn't exist.
