I get a dozen spam texts a day saying my Amazon account is about to be locked.

Anyone else getting bombarded with these?

Is there a fix?

Spam texts and spam calls.

My wife freaks out when her Chase bank account gets frozen. Even though we bank elsewhere.

Get Amazon daily.
Netflix is every second or third day.

Pretty over it.

I get the same junk. I block them. But it never stops any that comes from a different sender. There's a way to have them redirected if I'm not mistaken.

These are all easy to fix and prevent.

I block them too, but the number keeps changing. I also go to their site and input BS email and passwords on a very secure browser!!

If you have an iOS device, change it to only alert you to messages and calls from numbers in your contact list.

Or get RoboKiller.
