Open an email from the sender you want to unsubscribe from.If you signed up on a site that sends lots of emails, like promotions or newsletters, you can use the unsubscribe link to stop getting these emails.
Tip: If you blocked someone by mistake, you can unblock them using the same steps. When you block a sender, their messages will go to your Spam folder. I will see if the texts do actually stop tomorrow!! I am confident they will.Note: If someone uses Gmail to harass, intimidate, or threaten you, they're violating Gmail's Program Policies. If you feel that you're in danger, contact your local authorities right away, and ask whether any cyber harassment laws apply to your situation. She says they are getting more and more calls about this but she has never resolved it before and just "submits a ticket." She was happy that she will now be able to take care of it herself when someone calls and she said "it's all because of you." Thanks to all of you for posting about this.

She also was very excited because she has the SAME issue on her own phone and didn't know how to fix it. She used the first two options as others suggested to block emails on SMS and MMS. The woman listened to the instructions I gave her from this forum from clicking on "torch," then "mind," then "email gateway" and finally to the 3 options. Today I called on my phone and had this page up. Unfortunately, I didn't have this page pulled up and had trouble accessing it on Safari so ended the chat.

I told her I wasn't interested in a free app but the solution in Article 446389. She said it didn't help and said she was looking for a "free app" to solve my problem. I tried an AT&T online chat with a real person yesterday and gave her the article number. So I'm waiting to see if it works but based on aloha-gal I am hopeful, and so is my son, who's been getting many more than I have.Īnother success story!! I have been receiving the same spam texts daily for the last month from an email address that begins with "fastcash" but then changes characters after that each time. (There is a third option which he did not do because he had no idea what it was.) The first two is to block email on SMS, the second is block email on MMS. But then he was clicking around on stuff and found it and said to add this for the benefit of your AT&T person: He said - and this will make sense on their end - that they should click on "Torch", then to "Mind" then to E-Mail Getaway or Gateway (sorry think this is right - can't read my own writing.) There are three options they can turn off. I gave him the "Article 446389" and he said he and two other people were reading over it and not finding anything. But I had started getting spam emails by texts, so I called AT&T. Okay when I found this I was a little suspicious, as aloha-gal has basically the same response for both an S9 phone and an iPhone (in the other forum). Special thanks to aloha-gal, because this is a much better solution than just forwarding it along to the FTC and waiting for one bad player to get removed, This information is in another forum - "Solved: Re: Blocking email as texts" and I'm copying it here as well.
Spam and malicious activity is not limited to text, unfortunately. Our systems will be able to look up the sender’s email address, allowing us to take appropriate action. Currently, customers can forward the text content to 7726 and then report this 10-digit number as the sender: 1410100000. We are working on ways to better allow customers to report these instances to us. Even incomplete reports with just the message content help us stop suspicious messages and protect others from receiving similar messages. We are aware of scammers using this method and appreciate any information customers can share, so we can work together to stop these messages. Specifically regarding SPAM texts from an email address, here's what you can do. For customers that don't want to block all email to text, there are other options as well. We've had a lot of great responses in this thread, but wanted to jump in and let you all know that we are working daily to combat the SPAM epidemic.
