I don't know if this happens to anyone else but i get about 2-5 spam text messages a day, everything from car deals to sex texts lol. Anyone know how to stop these messages? most of em are from some obscure 6 digit number and it is a real pain in the arse

+k for help

Just got another one

This one reads
"Hay sweetie! I'm holly & I'd LOVE to taese you & please you with my mouth till you C*M!! I'm so wet naw! 6 Mins Free call me 8668872674"

Misspellings and all, these are becoming more and more amusing actually

One time I got a couple phone calls about a van that was listed on craigslist with my number. I went with it and arranged a date and time for them to come see it, and they followed through. Never heard from them again ..

I would suggest destroying your phone asap. Once done try to find a phone slightly older. Perhaps without texting capabilities. Problem solved.
