If you are getting the same ones I am they are SMS text messages (green bubble) coming in from an email address listing several sequential phone numbers. These are all under the purview of your cell service provider so you need to notify them. On several carriers you can forward them to a number such as 7726 (I'm on AT&T and send them there) and it does eventually bring about a reduction.
