Yeppers. It is actually an MMS. I already tried to send them an email and asked them to stop, but I think it was an automatic email. It is really not exactly spam--it is from a school system--it looks like they send you a text if delivery of an email fails or something. I have some dude's number that must have west TX connections--I have received phone calls and texts before. Everyone has been nice--I just tell them to tell the guy to let everyone know he has a new number. They have dwindled to nothing now, but I still get one of these every few days. My particular issue is not major...I was just dismayed that it seemed like there was no way to stop it. It would be nothing for a spammer to take a known verizon wireless area code and exchange and spam all 10,000 numbers constantly via email (I hope I am not giving some psycho ideas here, lol).
