    Hi am still getting these texts despite blocking the number ? Also they have obviously had a security leak or sold on my number as I am getting spam texts addressed to the same person.
    Sounds like you haven't blocked the number then.

    Is it possible to reply to the text saying they are not for you?  It may or may not make a difference if you can tell them.  They will at least have the number then to try to trace on their system.

    Possibly.

    Speak to your phone service provider about blocking the number.

    Thanks all, yes have definitely blocked the number several times but somehow this gets by passed. Tried texting it back a few times last year but to no avail.

    As already explained, very unlikely. 

    It all stems back to good old Katie and her fat fingers, I'm afraid.

    Or, of course, it could be more intentional than that and is someone who doesn't like you very much.
