Ive been getting these texts everyday for the past couple weeks. Always from a different overseas #. I always block and delete, but its still happening.

Yeah same, from a +44 number for me. I laughed and reported it as spam.

That's what I did. Then I looked in my Google messages spam folder and there were dozens of them.

Waste their time by engaging but giving fake information. I mentioned this in another comment, but the volume of scam shit I get went down after I started engaging with it and making them filter me out rather than me filtering myself out like the scams are intended to do.
