Have you ever got messages or emails stating that you have won a price and to claim it you have to pay some amount as a shipping charge or clearing charges....
I get heaps of emails and text messages every week. This is really annoying sometimes when it comes to text messages. I have no idea how they have got my mobile number. I hate these scammers...

oh that's good, but there's no option to ignore text messages and calls because every-time they come with a new number

@amandajay I never pick up unknown callers or numbers I'm not familiar with. I block them actually

I am getting used to it already. I just ignore them and most of it and if they persist then that is the time they go to spam folder. For text messages there is no way to filter them since they would just change their numbers to continue their spamming. Well I know their style already and I just have to delete them manually from my phone.

@amandajay Yeah although I know some phones are able to block them by tagging them as spam but since they can easily use other number so they are at time ineffective filtering them out. What annoys me is the calls also which can become persistent at times.

I don't have a smartphone but I do get all kinds of email and I am happy that many of the scam ones end up in my spam box where I can just delete them.
