Unwanted group spam texts

I am repeatedly getting group messages of unwanted lewd sexual matter. Down right nasty at times! I have gone and blocked every number on the list as well as turned off notifications and turned in to my carrier! Nothing is stopping or cutting them down! I’m getting from 10-30 of these daily! I can’t remove myself as some addresses are emails! I want them to stop! Most of the addresses are hotmail.com addresses or outlook!

Probably all of them are from an email address and sent to a group of phone numbers. The are SMS texts so they are in the purview of your cell service provider, contact them again, keep sending them to them (for AT&T this would mean forwarding them to 7726, other carriers use the same) and also contact your US representatives.

They tend to come in waves, I report the first flurry to 7726 and then just delete them as they come in. I don't open them so I don't see what is in them, the latest ones I get refer to the fact I have paid my AT&T bill and they now have a special gift for me and then includes a link. I only get that one monthly. After awhile they tend to ebb for a bit.
