How to stop Verizon Iphone spam text messages?

I have an Iphone 5 (Verizon). Earlier today, I got an obviously spam text message. Something like "I can set up Windows 10 on your computer remotely." I deleted the message pretty much immediately. However, I guess that message got sent to alot of people. Now, I keep getting responses from the other people that received the spam. What looks to be happening is that people keep responding to the original scammer, but I keep getting put into the group MMS messages with them. So essentially, the spam was sent to alot of people and I keep getting all of their responses as separate texts. It's just been really annoying. Does anyone have any solution?

That's weird. Download a text blocker from the app store.

  • Why do I receive text messages and missed calls on my old Iphone. How do I stop this? When someone calls me on my new phone, it shows up as "missed call from ___".It doesn't ring on my on my old phone, but after I answer the call on my new phone, it says missed call on the old phone, if that makes sense. I receive text messages from people on my old iphone as well. I use it as my iPod because it could drain the life out of my new phone, so I don't necessarily want to reset the entire phone. I have cellular data off and I'm with Verizon.

  • What should you do when you receive a spam text message? Just received a text message from someone pretending to be DFS about an order I never ordered. The funny thing is when you go into the information on my iPhone; no phone number shows up. I contacted Three Mobile and they say they can't detect what activity goes on; on my phone. They recommended that I just ignore the sender. I've also blocked the sender; because the iPhone allows you to do that.
  • Spam Text Messages - What to do? I just got a few text messages from an unknown email address with a link advertising "Badoo." I have no idea who the email address even belongs to. I have an iPhone, so I could tell the sender sent it to multiple numbers. I deleted the conversation before opening the messages or opening the link. What can I do if this continues to happen? If I did open the messages, could my iPhone get a virus? What could happen if anything?
