Spam texts showing on top of other apps

The past few days I have been getting odd spam texts that will show up on top of apps, almost like a system message. But they don't show up in my text messages at all. This is what it will look like:

Has anyone else encountered this, and if so, did a factory reset solve the issue?

We understand how frustrating receiving spam message can be and in order to protect your personal information & safety Peacake, you should report these text messages. We'd like to share some helpful resources!

 

You can try resetting your network settings to remove them. This method may be effective just give it a try.

 

You'll want to report spam alerts to 7726 (SPAM). When you're unable to forward these messages, report these spam alerts using our report unwanted calls & texts form.

 

Also, you can check out additional Fraud & security resources along with visiting our Forums for other ways to report spam.

 

We hope these resources are helpful!
