as a senior citizen I do not appreciate getting texts which are not from family.  It is a pain in the buttocks and should be regulated same as our do not call lists.

I GOT A TEXT MESSAGE FROM 407-780-8175 TELLING ME I WON A 100 DOLLAR GIFT CARD AS WELL!! THEY TOLD ME TO CALL 877-300-5862 !!! I AM ON THE DO NOT CALL LIST IN MY STATE!!!

i too have an iphone and no blocking feature.  i set up a new contact as do no answer, or blocked, or scam.

How did you block it on your phone?  I have an iPhone and I don't see a place to do that.  Do you know if AT&T needs to offer that feature?

Got a text on my phone from (661-316-7579) offering me a $100 gift card almost immediately after responding to a Craigslist ad for "free online college course."
The Craigslist ad is a front for this scam operator.
Don't even bother!!!!

Got a text from 609-481-5944 saying I won a $100 gift card for visiting and to call 877-300-5862, I have no clue what it is.  I'm not gonna call but I hate geting random text msgs like this. Ugh, its like junk mail in text form.

I called the 877# about 10 times and every time I asked the name of the company they hung up on me. One time a guy told me the name was 'Insider Shopping'

They sent a text to my phone - DO NOT GIVE ANY INFO!
