I am getting these texts several times a day from a variety of numbers. How do you make them stop? Everytime I get another one I add the number to a contact I have created called 'Do Not Answer' and that contact is blocked, but they keep changing numbers!!! So far I have 40 numbers saved to that contact. Not all are for this scam, but all are scams of some sort!!!

They continue...

Today, Rcv'd another from NJ.
