Spam Texts?

[ZenaM]

Received twice today texts with gibberish from 01137866311*** and 01137866681***.  I thought the first one was a mistake, but when the 2nd one arrived looking similar, it just annoyed me as I already receive so many spam calls. How do I stop these types of texts? Am I able to block them?

Each text looks very similar, and nearly all of the lines of the text end with a question mark.

Here is more information about how to identify spam, and what to do:

You can also add yourself to the national do not call list at the link below, to prevent spam calls.

Like how other users mentioned, currently you have to manually identify and block the callers.

Yes, you can block these texts.

I also get them from time to time. Usually those are phishing texts.

Go into the text message click the 3 little dots on top right and > click detail > block

@ZenaM  the 37 country code is what was used for East Germany.  Just select the individual text and the option to block it should appear. To block the numbers use these articles.
