Spam texts from different emails

i keep receiving sex related spam texts from different emails and they keep coming even after I block the gmail I get the same message from a different gmail user and it’s really annoying because I can’t even be in peace for one day to not receive one text I always get at least one spam every day and it’s annoying so if there is any way you could help me I would really appreciate it

Hello Edward.

Always be careful with the e-mails you open. It could easily be a scam e-mail. I suggest you not to click on link that may redirect you to unknown sites etc.

I suggest you report phishing emails to abuse@apple.com.


(The following information comes from apple.)

About Email and Other Scams


Apple always addresses you by your name or the name they have on file for you.  The Email will be from apple.com or itunes.com. Email addresses can be spoofed. You can go to Mail > View > Message > Show all Headers to see more. Apple Emails will never contain an attachment. Apple will never request personal information such as Social Security numbers.


An exception to the above is when you order something from the Apple Store. The receipt will be addressed to Dear Apple Customer.
