Started getting imessages from a gmail address tonight. First thought it was some kid that made a typo. Then tried FaceTime calling me multiple times. Told them to stop and they said sorry and would delete, but then asked my age where I was etc. just ignored. Also clicked the report junk link. What else can I do to keep this nitwit from continuing to harass me? Why can't we block email addresses as well as numbers?
