I just received a text from ixkfgoctlns@realdealsmsalerts.com
[[SPAM]] You have earned a complimentary cruise for two! Call (610) 8440866
How do I block this kind of spam?
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Correct Answer
If you're on a post-paid account and log into your on-line MyVerizon account, look under Manage My Device and click the blue Block Calls and Messages. At the top of the page, click the blue Manage Family Safeguards & Controls. Scroll down to Internet Spam Blocking, then click the blue View Details & Edit. Choose the appropriate line at the top, if applicable. Check the boxes for 'block all text messages sent from the web' and 'block all text messages sent from e-mail', then click Apply.
You can block all text messages sent from the Web with a setting in your MyVerizon account online.
For now you can forward the message to "SPAM (7726) and follow the instructions in the reply from VZW.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
Thanks for the reply.
I forwarded the message to 7726 (SPAM).
But it is not possible, using the webform provided, to block a text message received from an email address.
Thoughts?
