Spam Emails Sent Via Text

Over the past few weeks I've been receiving anywhere from 4 to 12 group text messages (via Messages) that come from constantly-changing email addresses. Under Messages Settings I have turned off MMS messaging and turned on Filter Unknown Senders, but I continue to receive these messages.


Any other suggestions?
