I get a ton of Apple derived (blue, not green) SPAM. These are all tinyurl type messages that are sent to everyone in a prefix, so xxx-8551, xxx-8552, xxx-8553, etc. It is patently obvious that these are SPAM. Apple could easily prevent these from getting onto their network or, at the very least, build a rule that automatically deletes them. It is giving Apple a black eye.
Filter iMessage messages from unknown senders
Filtering messages from unknown senders turns off iMessage notifications from senders who aren’t in your contacts and sorts the messages into the Unknown Senders tab in the Messages list.

Report spam or junk messages
With iMessage, a message you receive from someone who isn’t saved in your contacts might be identified as possible spam or junk. You can report these messages to Apple.
In the message, tap Report Junk, then tap Delete and Report Junk.
The sender’s information and the message are sent to Apple, and the message is permanently deleted from your device.
Note: Reporting junk or spam doesn’t prevent the sender from sending messages, but you can block the number to stop receiving them.
To report spam or junk messages you receive with SMS or MMS, contact your carrier.
