Spam texts (UK), is there anything I can do

[Gigabit]

I get texts like these almost daily:



Always from different senders, sometimes they have numbers, other times just these titles.

Anything I can do to stop them?

 

[Gigabit]

And another one...

If you have a decent spam filter app, then add keywords to block.

'Casino,£,eur,euro,%,$,bonus,spins,gamstop,free spins' etc.

Oh yeah, and forward the shite to 7726

Hi @dunover,

Presumably this brilliant website does not have connections with these companies and can ask them to take me off these lists? I only started getting them when I started gambling - but I am on GamStop and I find them distressing.

Where do I put these keywords please? I am on iPhone.

I have no idea about iPhones, but if i had one, i would try something like this app here ->

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

.

It says the price is "free", but they charge if you want to add extra features to it.

On iPhone, download 'Verosms' from the app store. Easy to use and free

I also get these shitty spam messages daily on my phone. Clearly a casino has passed on our emails for a price.

NO, just the opposite - we have connections to verified licensed sites, not the rogue and scam casinos that these texts pertain to and that indulge in this unlawful marketing.

DO NOT DO THAT.

You are deleting your BLOCKED sender's list.

Whenever you block an email address in outlook, that's where the email address goes.
Deleting it unblocks everyone who you've already blocked previously

Removing all from system

Removing all from system

You're removing the blocked sender's list.
Those are all the addresses that it WAS blocking. Now you're blocking nothing. So your spam will now increase

 

[Guntis]

Here's an example of how to reduce spam if you use Hotmail, but it can be done with other email providers as well, and you can add whatever other conditions and actions you want to this filter.

I get this crap too replying with STOP should stop them but many are not even coming from numbers just a random name.

 

[Deeisherexx]

I just remove them straight away I find it easier then trying to block them.

But alot of it is down to when you click accept on terms on a website there is a lot of fine print about them sharing your deatails with other people.

 

[Guntis]

Those who send mobile text messages don't care who your details are shared with and who you are. Their goal is to make you click on ANY of the links they provide, so you get sent to a shite casino they are affiliated with and potentially make a deposit. You can track down that affiliate, but it's pointless.

With spam emails, you can simply follow my screenshot above, and your free money 500% slot bonus will get sent back to a sender (your spammer) or anyone else you wish to.
