iMessage SMS Text SPAM Is a huge problem

HELP!


What's the solution? i'm about ready to turn off the SMS feature completely because I am so sick of getting Spam text. That's the only solution I can find. I'm so nervous I'll accidentally click on a link that pops up on my screen from these SPAM text and boom, They are in.


Also, How do you forward SMS to that SPAM number so that at least they can block the numbers? I can't seem to figure out how to forward from iMessages.


Yes, I have the filter for contacts versus unknown turned on, but it doesn't work for SMS, so there's no help there.


Thanks,


Frustrated in California

Actually, there is.
