Unwanted messages are becoming increasingly common methods for scams and fraud. Often these messages may look like they are from someone you know but are really a scam looking for personal information. If you get an unwanted text message, there are three ways to report it:

• Copy the message and forward it to 7726 (SPAM). This helps your wireless provider spot and block similar messages in the future.
• Report it on the messaging app you use. Look for the option to report junk or spam. For how to report spam or junk in the iPhone Messages app: support.apple.com/en-us/111104. For how to report spam on an Android phone: support.google.com/messages/answer/9061432?hl=en.
• Report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov
