Same text message coming from a different short code every 3 days for 4 months

[Pelwar]

For the past 4 months I have been receiving the same text message every 3 days. It looks like it's coming from my Credit Union but it is definitely not. The text comes from a different short code each time. The first call came from 100-0001, then 100-0002, 0003, 0004, etc. My most recent call came from 100-0029. I have called ATT several times but they are not able to stop the calls from coming. Twice, I replied STOP but the texts did not stop. I have an iPhone 8.

Any help would. be greatly appreciated.

Thx,

Hi @Pelwar

Receiving unknown spam calls and text messages can be quite annoying. Let's help resolve this issue together!

4. Scroll to and select Block This Caller.
5. Select Block Contact.
6. To unblock, select Unblock this caller.
