Do not respond to unwanted texts or emails from questionable sources. Several mobile service providers will allow you to report unwanted spam texts by simply forwarding them to 7726 (or “spam”) to enable the providers to prevent future unwanted texts from the specific sender.
TIP:
Put 7726 in your contact list, so you can easily forward those unwanted texts!

However, in many cases, the text origin, as seen on your phone, is faked. The internet domain does not exist, or the phone number may have been spoofed.
Got same text msg as above - that a lawsuit has been filed and arrest warrant issued in the name of my SPOUSE.
"A Law-Suit has been filed and Arrest Warrant issued on your name. This may arise legal consequences at your home and employment place. If you want to resolve this issue, call us back at State Attorney Head Office on 717-744-8911."
