Other posters say they have had success in forwarding these illegal texts to 7726. They are picked up by your cell phone carrier who will ask you to send them the phone number so they can investigate and have spam filters installed to block the texts. The following article tells you everything you need to know:

Security company Cloudmark created a spam messaging reporting service that nation?s major wireless carriers agreed earlier this year to start using. Now, customers of AT&T Mobility, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Sprint and others can forward their text spam message to 7726. The mobile phone carrier will ask customers for the phone number that?s linked to the spam message so they and Cloudmark can start investigating.

"Hi Scott" the text said.  I texted "Hello" back.  Nothing else said.  I just thought my wife was gonna think it was a mistress or something.  I can show her this site if it happens again.  Thank goodness!

I too got a message from this person. They said hi Wendy, I asked who it was and they said to add them on yahoo messenger, ID was txtgirly81. I stopped responding and immediately blocked the number. I'm still lost on how they got my name/number. DO NOT respond to this person or give out any information.

TEXTWOMAN048 IS THE MESSENGER ID...

Got a call and then a text message form this number 786-345-8779 today. When I asked who it was they replied to add them on yahoo messenger. This is either spam or a telemarketer.
