Spam text’s from gmail accounts
Anyone know how to block spam iMessages from gmail accounts? I immediately delete and block without clicking link but they just keep sending with new email addresses.

BLOCKING THE CONTACT:
Tap on the number at the very top —> tap ‘INFO’ —> scroll to ‘INFO’ (yes again) —> swipe up until you see ‘BLOCK THIS CALLER’ & select that, select ‘BLOCK CONTACT’ —> go to the top and press the back arrow ‘<‘; then press ‘DONE’
REPORTING:
Press on the message until you the bottom menu appears; —> select ‘MORE’ —> select the right curved arrow on the bottom, DO NOT hit the trash can; —> in the ‘TO:’ address type ABUSE@GMAIL.COM —> press the Green Up Arrow inside the message.
DELETING MESSAGE:
You will see a Blue check mark next to the message; Top Left select ‘DELETE ALL’
You have blocked all incoming contact from this person and reported them to Google. This works even if there is no actual phone number shown.
HINTS:
I have created a contact called PHISHING and keep all of the addresses I report to with in it. That way I don’t have to remember each agency’s reporting info.
