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?
Iphone virus? Never heard of it
Text "Stop" to the sender and you will not receive any more texts from them.
- Why is my iPhone5 sending some messages as iMessage and others as Text Messages? I understand that messages are sent as Text Messages when there's no signal or poor Wi-Fi connection. However, I'm successfully texting some people using iMessage but others (still iPhone users) as Text messages. The other person will send iMessages and then my responses will be sent as green Text Messages.
- Why are there so many spam adverts all of a sudden? In the last couple minutes, loads of those spam ads have appeared around all the websites I'm on, like Facebook, twitter, Google and this website. The ads are like how to lose weight in 5 mins, chat requests, and the games like shooting the iPhone. Happened really suddenly and wanna know if there's a way to get rid of it or if its a virus or something, thanks! Pop-up ads are and have always been disabled!
- When I receive text messages with emojis from an iPhone, why do the messages only appear partially? My phone is a "Verizon Samsung Intensity II" slide phone. (Also it's blue but that doesn't matter.) Also, if I'm included in an iPhone group chat (spoiled rich friends, but not snobby…), I get each posted message as a separate message, so I'll end up randomly with 67 unread messages clogging up my inbox.
- 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.
