I keep getting text messages from this number. It started yesterday and goes all hours of the day & night. I even sent a text asking the person to stop. I asked who they were & if I knew them. I also told them that I would contact authorities. The only response I get it is the same message. The message is:
"I need some air cause you just toook my breath away. Text Back!,
There has been an onslaught of illicit text messages since the beginning of this weekend---possibly orginating in Russia and Panama. Follow the advice given by the FCC on how to deal with them:
To reduce the number of unwanted email and texts you receive, use these tips:
Be careful about giving out your mobile phone number, email address, or any other personal information.
Read through commercial web forms. Some websites allow you to opt out of receiving email from partners – but you may have to uncheck a preselected box if you want to do so.
Check for a privacy policy when submitting your wireless phone number or email address to any website. Find out if the policy allows the company to sell your information.
Do not respond to unwanted texts or emails from questionable sources. Several mobile service providers allow you to forward unwanted texts by simply texting it to 7726 (or "SPAM") to block the sender. Check with your provider about other options.
