How to recover the penalty for unsolicited text?

I got an unsolicited marketing text to my phone. How do I get my $1500? Do I have to sue for it and damages are awarded to me, or does the federal government levy a fine that they don’t share with me?

If you report it, and if anyone does anything about it, they might get fined up to $1,500 per unsolicited message. You won’t see a penny.
