Unsolicited Spam SMS texts from "Domino's" UK mobile numbers.

Texts informing me of available "discounts and offers" have been arriving roughly twice a week for the past 3 months.
I do not believe these are legitimate or from Domino's and here's why:
1. My number is registered with the Telephone Preference Service so should not receive any unsolicited messages from legitimate companies.
2. I have added each mobile number claiming to be Domino's to my phone's Blocklist but each new message is from a new UK mobile number.
(I have blocked around 30 numbers so far)
3. The only link in the texts is to a different mobile number which I can apparently contact to "stop the texts". (I'm obviously not touching THAT)
I do not reply to or interact with unsolicited SMS messages as texting "STOP" to a scammer simply proves there is a person attached to the phone number they are spamming.
So, I went onto Domino's website and found this link right down at the bottom in their UI's "small print" and opted out of every option today.

If, by some miracle, that stops the harassment ( though I suspect it won't ) I will post an update.
Merry Christmas.

Do you have an account with/registered on the Domino's website? Should be a mechanism to get that cancelled and removed.
