I've never gotten a spam TXT in the 2yrs owning an iPhone. Today I got my first one from some place telling me if I owe more than $10k to the IRS to contact them blah blah.
Trying to think of who I gave my # out to in the past week. ATT has my info but I highly doubt they would do anything but then again is this TXT coming from an email?
I just went to ATT blocking options and clicked block to all 3 options listed anyone else getting SPAM SMSs since owning the i4. Just wondering where they got my info better not be ATT.
New spam emails being received on samsung s5 are disabling the ability to tag them as spam. This only leaves pressing unsubscribe which could be risky or delete. Meaning there is no way to stop future emails.
I've just received a spam sms by this unknown number +1 (347) 522-0616: "Apple is looking for people to Test & Keep the New iPad 3! (...)" Is there a way to block the number?
I am getting more and more spam-type messages on my iphone 4s. You've won a WalMart gift card, Do you need extra money?, things like that. Isn't there some kind of spam filter or malware proctection I can use?
Is there any way to mark email for my iCloud account as spam on my iPhone? I'm running iOS 5.1.1. It's extremely frustrating to receive spam email on my iPhone and have no way of reporting it. The iCloud WWW page will not allow you to log in from an iPhone and instead tells you to use the built-in Mail app. The Mail app will not allow me to mark spam. Since I have my iPhone set to display HTML images in email I have to be exceedingly careful not to open any spam messages until I can get to a desktop computer to log into iCloud. Sometimes, I don't have access to a desktop for multiple days at a time, which means I can't mark the email as spam for days and have to tiptoe around it. I can't tap the delete button at the bottom of an email, because it might move me to the spam message, which means I'll trip the webbug and I'm hosed. I thought that the new push was to be desktop-free as much as possible? Yes, I could just delete it, but that doesn't help to train the spam filters.Why is there no way, at all, of doing this on an iPhone? It's 5 years old already. Am I the only person in the world that receives spam on their iPhone?
I have recieved 2 spam e-mails in my gmail account. I deleted them imediatelly, including them in the trash.
But for my surprise, they are now in my calendar, and I cannot delete them. They are in a grey color, circulated by dots and are impossible to edit and delete.
I've received a spam invitation on calendar app through my gmail account recently and accidentally declined the invitation. I'm not a very technical person but I've managed to delete the culprit and stop gmail from automatically adding events I haven't responded to to my calendar. What I wonder is that would my declining that spam invitation do any harm to my accounts, iPhone or iMac? If yes, what should I do?
My Iphone and my brother's iphone have done the same, our email contacts recieve spam emails we havent sent with vulgar links, i dont know why it happned or how to stop it other than to change my password, i need to know why it happened in the first place to make sure it doesnt happen again
2 months ago I received a text spam about a horoscope service, which I ignored because it was clearly a scam.Then I found out they were charging me $9.99/month, and I had to spend 30 minutes on the phone with AT&T to get the charges removed. How can spammers charge you when you haven't responded to their text? This is a huge annoyance and waste of my time. I am considering removing the texting function from my iphone.
My phone can do everything except get on the Internet, if I try to get on the Internet it takes me to this bogus site that is clearly trying to get my information. It fronted as an email from my college and the government Fafsa...grrrr! Why are people so evil???? Anyway, I am out of state and don't have my Mac, so other than a clean wipe and set back to factory setting (since I haven't backed it up in weeks),how I can fix this?
I have a brand new 3GS. For some reason, when I type in the letter M in the "to" field of a new email, my contacts who start with M will come up, along with a third random email address that starts with an m. I don't recognize it (it looks like a spam address actually) and I've never written to/from it on my iPhone.
Where did it come from and how can I get rid of it? I've tried restoring and then re-setting up my email accounts but that didn't get rid of it. If it makes a difference, the phone was purchased brand new from the Apple store. I'm the only one who's touched my phone.
I have a iphone 4s and after i got it about 3 days later i started being pestered with spam calls, texts and voicemails i dont know what to do as its getting a bit of an irratent. I've never given my details away and on the text messages im being called by different names as if somone signed my number up to places under false names? but i wanna know how to stop, im being called in lessons which then leads to a voicemail and text so anyway to stop this? (numbers seem to be different and it happens around 5-15 times a day)
Hi, I am getting spam text messages and I am sure that whilst reading through discussions previously there is a number which you can forward the text to depending on what network you are with. Is this correct and if so, does anybody know the number for Vodafone?
Is there a way to have the stock mail app split my Yahoo inbox and spam folders? Just got the M8 (online pictures don't do the Verizon red version justice, btw!) and noticed a ton of spam in my main inbox, including dated from before moving phones. When looking around, I noticed I have no separate spam/bulk folder in the stock app like my last phone. It appears those emails are being retrieved from the server, but inserted into the phone's general inbox.
