Every day I get lots of spam from spoofed phone numbers on my macbook pro, my phone blocks them but its not currently possible on macbook
i get texts from numbers like the following (real example from spammers using fake numbers)
1 (410) 100-024
1 (410) 100-025
There is nothing that blocks them and there are no user interfaces ANYWHERE to stop it

You're not the only one. These are SPAM SMS text messages. As such, you must have your iPhone configured to relay SMS texts to your Mac. If that is the case, you will need to contact your cellular voice provider to report these and see if there is anything they can do to block them on your behalf. Alternatively, you could disable the SMS relay so only your iPhone has to deal with them.
