GFK Mobile Study - Spamming my Phone

Options
Has anyone heard of this before? I am careful about sharing my mobile number and I don't remember signing up to any study but I am being continuously spammed by this organisation. This morning I have received 205 text messages asking me to reply to sign-up and undertake their questionnaires. Each text message comes from a different telephone number!
Can anyone advise what I can do to stop this spamming? I'm deleting all the messages but there are too many to keep up with now and I'm missing messages from family.

    Gfk Mobile Study does exist and Gfk are reputable. This doesn't sound like them but you could email Jenny Davies, consumer.panel@gfk.com, to ask about the spam.
