Block the 1-410-100 messages
I am getting text messages from 1-410-100 and I can't block them because the last digit of the number is different. They are from an att phone to an att phone from att. From you. How can I stop this. I forwarded them to your spam number 7726. If I have to change phone numbers I will but it won't be thru att.

this solution does not work as the phone numbers that the spam texts are coming from are not complete numbers. I sent it to 7726 and received a reply stating they could not locate the source as it was not a number. i get about 100 of these spam texts EVERY DAY and i am pulling my hair out. help.

Well, I posted the fix but it appears someone has deleted it.
I too have problems with receiving hundreds if incrementing 1410 messages.
The fix is to use the block phrase feature in your messaging app.
I was able to add "FRM: Sender Name SUBJ:" (Sender Name = a real person's name) as a blocked phrase and it is catching 100% of the 1410 messages that person is sending me. Look at the content of your 1410 message and see if there is a common phrase in all of them that isn't something you would normally send or receive. Block that phrase.
Mine are coming from an ex who is paying to send them via some app. Blocking the phrase listed above using the block phrase feature in messages works flawlessly for me.
Good luck!

I'm using a Galaxy S8 Active running Android 8.0. I don't have an iPhone and can't find much information about them and whether or not the block phrases feature is available in iOS.
On my Android, the feature is under Messages > (three dots button) > Settings > Block Messages > Block Phrases.
Hopefully this is available on iOS because it's literally brought back my sanity. You can use it to block texts sent from an email address as well. I suspect the 1410 messages arrive via email sent to (phone number) @ txt.att.net with a spoofed return address starting with 14101 00001 (I had to add a space) that increments by 1 with each additional message.
I feel certain that AT&T could put a stop to these messages if they wanted to.
