Smut texts from Gmail accounts

[Alyson207]

Hey, Verizon, 

Is there ANYWAY you can create a filter that blocks emails from texting me? Because several times a day I get a text from [email address removed per the Verizon Terms of Service] that provides a link to smut sites. Well, I'm assuming anyway, based on the URL text. Obviously I'm not clicking the link.

I cannot block the number, because it's not coming from a number - it's coming from an email. Even if I could, it's a different address every time so blocking systematically would be for naught. 

I want to stop receiving texts from ALL emails. There's got to be a way you can make that happen. Let me know when you do.

@9wood I have the email block that I linked above in place on my account and have for years now. It works. Have you tried it yet? 

[9wood]

@Ann154 look like you have apple phone from reading link I don't and others who mentioned this don't

People don't read as that does work if you follow the instructions. 

[9wood]

@acraftylady2  guess you didn't see the prepaid doesn't work

[acraftylady2]

No one in this thread mentioned they had prepaid so people assume you are talking about post paid.  Mary

@9wood

A. You don't mention being Prepaid in your initial post. If you don't provide complete information, you won't get answers taylored to your situation.

B. I don't have an iPhone. I have had the email block in place since probably 2009 through Android phones, Windows phones, and even briefly iOS phones.
