WinRed Arvostelua 

They keep texting me after I have followed their rules to stop all texts and emails. I am a conservative but they pester me all day at work with texts

I donated money years ago and up to a few days ago was receiving 50 to 60 TEXTS A DAY. I received a text asking if I would like to reduce the amount of texts but I had to send money to do that. This is EXTORTION! I sent a reply asking them to reduce, I REALLY WANT IT STOPPED COMPLETELY, and now I am receiving OVER 70 TEXTS A DAY EVERYDAY. Anyone have any ideas on eliminating this nightmare?

6 text per day on average. Even after stop text.

I made a contribution using Winfred and now I get 20 messages a day from political platforms. Worst decision I ever made.

Endless source of unwanted spam. Completely unprofessional in refusing to stop, and illegal.

Even if I were managing a campaign for office in the Republican party, I would never use WinRed's service -- they destroy your credibility and make you look like a cheap scammer instead of a legitimate candidate.

I made a one time donation, and every month they continue to charge my card. I have tried for the last 4 months to get this stopped and get no response except the monthly charge.

I have received spam texts from them over and over, using STOP does nothing. Some of the texts are even mildly threatening. I'm conservative but will never donate to them for anything, nor will I publicly donate any funds to any conservative group in the future. I try to only do anonymous donations but somehow I've gotten on WinReds radar and their daily texts. I'm beyond aggravated. Do better winred, DO BETTER.

COMPLETE SCAM ARTISTS AND VIOLATE THE TCPA

I tried to donate to a campaign, and, after I entered my credit card information and pressed "Donate," it just sat there and didn't do anything. JavaScript was enabled across the board, and I am using Chrome. This is based on my personal experience today (June 8).

It did work for another candidate but, if this is the level of quality candidates can expect from this service, maybe they need to set up direct donation options for their campaigns.

Also, I tried to contact them and got this

Sorry, we were unable to deliver your message to the following address.

Update August 5 2026

I tried to donate to a Senate campaign and, after entering my name, address, and credit card information, pressed Donate. Nothing happened, the page just sat there. I tried two browsers (Chrome and Edge) and, even with ad blockers turned off, it doesn't work.

Another concern is that "recurring donation" is pre-checked which means, that, if you don't notice this and un-check it, you will get charges you never authorized.

DO NOT USE WinRed.com!!! I repeat DO NOT USE WinRed.com!!!
They caught me by surprise with a campaign for a US Senator. I've never donated to political campaigns but the ad for the senator was intriguing. As soon as I donated I started receiving around 5 texts/day for political donations. Each one with a distinct phone number. Blocking them is impossible due to the number being different on each one. I've blocked and spam reported each one. 30 days in and have received over 150 political donation texts. WInRed.com policy is to login although I never created an account and have to credentials for it. They might have stopped sending me texts but they've shared my phone number with related partners.
DO NOT DONATE VIA WINRED.COM!!!

Please do not donate to WINRED. In November 2025, my wife donated $17.76 to WINRED because we are devout Republicans and believe in the cause. Within 2 weeks, her credit card had over $10,000 in charges from every Republican in the country. It was an effort, but we got those reversed. Until about a month ago when they started up again. Also, since November, she receives 8-10 mailings each day in our mailbox requesting donations. Her cell phone also receives 20-30 text messages every day. I have blocked over 500 numbers. STOP does not seem to work, they just use another number. People involved in WINRED should be in jail.

I’m so tired of the messages saying NO MONEY required. Then I’ll answer all the questions and then you have an automatic donation request before your answers will be sent . What a sham site ! I will not donate to any candidate or party that uses winred .If I find the time I will try to get a legitimate address and send a paper check. So tired of the double cross policies!

I do donate through WinRed…..to support President Trump and the Republican Party.
I’ve gotten to where I hesitate when wanting to donate through WINRED!
We are all busy I want to donate!
And I need to do it quickly….This is impossible with WinRed!! LET ME DONATE?
WHAT I ABSOLUTELY HATE IS HAVING TO MAKE DAMN SURE I HAVEN’T SPENT ENOUGH TIME READING AND COMBING THROUGH EACH QUESTION
TO MAKE SURE THAT A BOX IS LEFT CHECKED GIVING THEM PERMISSION TO DEBIT MY ACCOUNT AGAIN ON THE FIRST OF THE MONTH…..OR INDEFINITELY! I WANT TO DONATE, BUT I DON’T APPRECIATE WINRED’S REPETITIVE BS QUESTIONING CAUSING ME TO DONATE TWICE AS MUCH MONEY AS I INTENDED ON DONATING.
IF THIS DOESN’T CHANGE I’M
GOING TO BE FORCED TO STOP DONATING THROUGH WINRED PERIOD I HAVE BEEN OVERDRAWN ON MY CHECKING ACCOUNT DUE TO WINRED! BECAUSE I MISSED UNCHECKING A BOX ALLOWING THEM TO DEBIT MY ACCOUNT $100 DOLLARS AS I INTENDED THOUGH BY ME OVERLOOKING THAT ONE BOX THEY TURN AROUND AND DEBIT MY ACCOUNT AGAIN ON THE FIRST. THIS ISN’T RIGHT.

I want to totally unsubscribe from winred.com. I don’t know how I ever subscribed! My bank card must have been saved by someone at winred because I saw the last 4 numbers of my card saved there! Then I looked at my bank account and there was between 6-8 different amounts taken out of my bank account! I do not want to deal with it anymore and the amount of text is truly offensive! 60 up to 80 or so a day, so please NO MORE! I’m trying to unsubscribe one at a time and it is awful! So Help, I’m almost 80, so please stop asap! I did recover all the funds taken, but to me it is not safe to use!

I will never ever ever donate to a Republican again. I am republican. I will vote Republican, but winted has done nothing but send me text message after text message asking for money. I have a disabled son and I am retired and I’m elderly and this is very sad.

Do not trust!

They will sell your personal information and you will receive thousands of text messages and calls. If you reach out to them they will basically say it’s not there problem and you need to reach out to the individual campaigns to stop. Be warned I wanted to support the Republican Party and have been paying for it for years now.

Winred continues to harass me. Despite multiple complaints, spam pours into my messages and emails daily. I deleted 470 of them the other day. I have complained and complained. Blocked them, reported them as spam and yet the onslaught continues. I quit the party because if them. I went out of the country and had to block all my friends because I was afraid that winred would use up my data allowance. Everyone should complain!

DON'T EVER DONATE TO THEM. THEY WILL SPAM YOU BY TEXTS EVERYDAY FOR MONEY!!!!!
