This process worked for me. I had sighted help and they said this is the process. Blocking the person should also block the text and massages. So far no more of those silly things on my phone. At least from the blocked ones. My friend says they are fishing and looking for responses and if i am unsure, just repeat he process. These people are relentless and may try it again with another number just like when we all were getting those dumb ass IRS calls threatening jail if we didn't pay. Hoping you have luck. Georgi
