Received text this morning from this number showing the texter as Kaitlyn--W. Thinking someone had gotten the wrong number, I replied and said I hoped she got the right number. About 5 minutes later I received another text that said it was from Aldi, then he made some comment about liking my pictures. I texted back with the message that said I would delete further texts. He came back with the question "are you mad that I liked your picture?" I simply deleted it and have not heard anything else.
For a cell phone, some already have call blocking, if not, there are free apps on the web that will work for some. You can google this. If you have a smart phone, there is a free app called call control. Iphones appear to have apps also. Another one is called Mr. Number.
For text messages: forwarding any text message spam you get to the short code “7726,” which spells “spam” on most phones, to alert your network operator to the abuse. ATT won't accept 7726 But they will accept BLOCK and return a message that the web site is blocked. forward the texts to 7726 or BLOCK, depending on your phone carrier.

It came from a short code text number 6245, but this is what the text read
I got a text just now so i googled this number and found this post forum. They said to me, " 414-600-4885 If i told you that you had a great boody, would you hold it against me? Text Back"
Terentia-O.
So I am guessing this is SPAM judging my all the responses. If I ignore will they just stop then? Thanks for your time.
Received text from short code 6245 with # 414-6004885 that read..
