It’s always better to say stop or end or unsubscribe or something. Then they legally have to unsubscribe you, but they don’t if you send the message in the OP.
Has there been a single recorded case where somebody tried to unsubscribe from text spam like this, kept receiving it, and successfully had the sender prosecuted?

“Legally”?
Has there been a single recorded case where somebody tried to unsubscribe from text spam like this, kept receiving it, and successfully had the sender prosecuted?
Yes. Its rare-ish, but very lucrative as the spammers are violating the “TCPA” act, which has high penalties. Fines are around $500- $1500/text.
This legal site has some examples:

Politicians exempted themselves from the anti spam laws. Funny how that works.
