Take my advice that I just sent to you guys above. I called HSBC (I have an account with them) They noted it but there isnt anything they can do. We arent the only ones. I am live chatting with At&t right now and they are telling me that its coming from an email which is why the numbers are missing one digit. Pretty much ignore it or reply BLOCK, which I am weary of doing. But I'll try it anyway.
Angela Foxx: Mr. ***, thank you for completing the pre-chat survey. I will be more than glad to assist you with SPAM messages. It is my priority to assist you with your current inquiry and to respond to any other questions you may have about your device or service.
hector : Hi Angela, I have been receiving numerous spam like text messages from 41 different phone numbers in the past 20 minutes
hector : it makes mention of my HSBC Bank account and to call a number, but the number given to me in the text message is either not connected or busy,
hector : I called my bank to verify if it was them calling me but they denied it and told me that they have had a few complaints in the past few hours about these prank or scam/spam texts.
hector : 2134654121 is the number they want me to call
Angela Foxx: Thank you for that information.
hector : the text messages come from 1(410) 000-001 all the way to 1 (410) 000-041
hector : also one from 1(410) 080-002
hector : its very annoying.
Angela Foxx: You can forward the messages to 7726. This will report the message to our SPAM message team.
hector : will that cost me anything? Do I have to fwd every single one?
Angela Foxx: One moment please.
Angela Foxx: It will not cost anything to forward the message to 7726.
hector placeres: ok I did it but its asking for the senders phone number, everytime i send it to them the automated att message states that it needs the number. I guess your computers wont accept the number i sent because its not a full phone number.
hector: Its missing one digit
Angela Foxx: The missing number indicates the text is coming from an email address.
Angela Foxx: I will give you a link to use to block this type of message.
