There was a time I could mark these messages as “Junk” within my iPhone’s Messages app, but I’m no longer presented with that option. And the spammers couldn’t even bother to pretend I’d won Apple AirPods, instead of EarPods, like the most recent message says. All I have to do is click a link within the text message - a message, by the way, whose sketchiness is so embarrassingly obvious, down to the fact that they almost always mention a name other than my own (“Tara” being the supposed recipient of the latest dodgy missive). The Apple Messages app on my iPhone stays loaded up with text messages from Amazon, generally informing me that I’m a winner in the day’s product raffle. The SMS messages come with increasing regularity, almost daily now.
