    Funny, I had those exact messages last night within two minutes of one another at 21:50 and 21:52. Same text but different numbers.

    I never knew you could report them so thanks to pp who detailed that.

    Have a read of this:

    http://www.ico.org.uk/for_the_public/topic_specific_guides/marketing/texts?hidecookiesbanner=true

    and forward any spam messages to 7726 (spam) or if you're on vodafone use 87726 - works for me everytime.

    You can also block individual numbers indivdual numbers if need be.

    Since I began forwarding numbers the messages aren't reaching me anymore. :j
