Texts from email address to 20-30 phone numbers.

I've been getting these strange robo texts since last October. They appear to be from an email address to 20-30 phone numbers. I get 1-3 daily but only when I turn on cellular data. There is always a link to what looks like a fake dating site or maybe even ****. Screenshot attached.

At first I blocked every number and address, but that didn't stop them. Some of the blocked numbers are still listed in the TO: section.

I email the screenshots to reportphishing@apple.com and today tried the FCC which was a LONG process and would only take one text at a time. I've sent 30-40 to Apple.

None of my friends have had this experience. Any help?

Actually it does contain a lot of personal information including someones email.

Yes, we are all aware of what these look like. I get one monthly supposedly from AT&T saying that since I've paid my bill they are offering a free gift. They are coming in from email addresses which make them harder for the cell phone providers to block but contact your cell service provider to report them.
