The scammer now knows it was delivered to some valid email or text address, so they will spam away unfortunately.


If they are iMessages report them to the abuse contact -> Block, filter, and report messages on iPhone - Apple Support


If they are SMS report them to your carrier (e.g. with AT&T I forward spam SMS to 7726 (SPAM)). Most carriers have a report spam short code. The carrier may be able to block it based on routing information or other data you don’t have access to.
