If you are receiving spam messages, there are several ways to stop them. You can use the block option on your device, report the spam texts to your carrier by forwarding them to 7726, or check your phone’s settings for third-party features that can filter unwanted messages 1. It is important to never reply to spam texts or click on any links they contain, as this may encourage more spam or expose you to scams 1. Spam texts may have errors or try to create a false sense of urgency 1.
If you are still receiving spam messages even after blocking them multiple times, you can try the following:
Install a third-party app to filter out spam messages 2.
Check your phone’s settings for third-party features that can filter unwanted messages 1.
Add your number to the Do Not Text list of your carrier, which unsubscribes you from known spammers by banning them from targeting you 2.
Take a screenshot of the message so you can report it to the proper authorities, then block the number 3.
It is important to note that you should never click on any links from suspicious texts or unfamiliar numbers, and never reply to the message, which would confirm that your number is active 3.
I hope this helps!
