Spam text messages on iPhone claiming unauthorized access

Is there any way to stop the text messages I get every day, anywhere up to six a day, saying that there is something wrong with my phone and I need to click a link to fix it? For example “ photos are being sent out”, but not by me. It’s basically sounding like somebody else is using my cell phone and taking control to do whatever it wants. Does anybody else get this problem? If so, do you know how to get rid of it if it is spam?

If you are referring to SMS/MMS, please get in touch with your Carrier and ask them for a solution. Apple Inc. does not provide SMS/MMS services. Depending on your carrier and country or region, reporting spam you receive with SMS, MMS, or RCS shares this information with your carrier and its affiliates.

For iMesages: Report spam or junk messages. When you use iMessage, you can report spam or junk messages to Apple—the report includes the sender's information and message.
