On my iPhone, I know how to block contacts from sending me iMessages as well as how to filter unknown users. But I keep getting spam messages from a ‘special number’ (I don’t know the official name for the special five digit numbers- see screenshot). I’m pretty sure it’s someone spoofing DHL Delivery Service. Does someone know how I can block these messages?
