The exact same thing keeps happening to me and it’s SOO frustrating, not to mention, potentially dangerous, as mine are phishing scam texts. A fake text from USPS, Netflix, FedEx, UPS, and many more. This is happening at least once a day & from different numbers each time. I also don’t have the “report junk” link. Why don’t we have the “report junk” link and what can we do to stop this?

As stated above, this is an SMS message, not an iMessage, and "Report Junk" only works for blue bubble iMessages.


Contact your cellular carrier to find out what their procedure is for reporting junk SMS messages.


For example, here is what AT&T recommends:
