I am getting scammers sending me text messages from a Craigslist ad. Is there a way to block their numbers using Verizon's Messaging + service? Thank you.

You can block them if you have a number to block. If they are coming from vtext? That may be more challenging. Peace out

I tried the same thing a while back but after much fruitless searching the only way I was able to block spam texts was through the myverizon website. There is a limit of 5 mobile phone numbers you can enter to be blocked and unfortunately they will expire after 90 days. You must subscribe to Verizon's Familybase to block numbers permanently but I don't have any experience with that so I can't offer advice on it. After you login to MyVerizon.com you'll see Block Calls & Messages on the left under Manage My Account.
There is also more information there on FamilyBase at the bottom of the page. I hope this helps even though I wasn't able to directly answer your question.

tbo27 and WesleyK are correct as I also found. Numbers yes.. VM text spam I can't find a way so far, this may be a good post discussion, I just keep deleting. Gosh tech is so great I think... but who is in control, us or our devices .
