Don't know if it'll help but i'm an at&t customer (in case y'all are at&t customers too, a part of me thinks that this may be an inside job in order for "customers" to pay more than their regular monthly bill).  It'll be comforting to know that it's more than just at&t customers because I don't like paying for a service to a company that should be trusted not to engage in such practices.  Obviously this is not targeted at one individual.  I've been getting constant spam, yesterday I got 5 text messages from 101000007, 1 from 101000006 and 1 from 101000005 (that's 7 on a Sunday). 2 days ago I got one from 101000004.  3 days ago I got one from 101000003.  So far today I've got 1 from 101000008.  I already pay for a limited number of texts per month and at this rate I'm paying for spam.  If I had the option to turn off text messages and not receive any at all I would have already.  It's one thing to get spam in your e-mail, it's far worse when you're making people pay for it.  I hope that whoever is behind this gets fined a huge sum of money and also receive serious jail time (whether it's an inside job or not, it's still stealing).

I've been getting txts and they know my first and last name and where im going and where i live i need help to stop this

I really feel that texting me with nonsense it is unacceptable and I would like and appreciate if it stops.  You are making accusations that not true if you feel that you need to talk to me call me instead you have my number and I will answer it and talk to you with the utmost respect.

Someone wrote a very mean text to me and I would love to know what the hell is going on.

This is a special gateway number generated by the AT&T MEdia email-to-SMS gateway. When email is addressed to NUMBER@CingularME.com or MEdia_ID@CingularME.com or NUMBER@txt.att.net, the incoming gateway forwards to that NUMBER (or the NUMBER for that MEdia_ID) as SMS message(s), and that special gateway number is used to track the email address of the sender. Reply to the sender is easy, because the phone will automatically reply to that special gateway number, which will cause the outgoing AT&T gateway to forward to the email address of the original sender. This is thus the preferred method of AT&T email-to-SMS messaging.

Register at http://mymessages.wireless.att.com and http://cingularme.com/ to block this.  Although I was still unable to block the cingularme.com address.  Call AT&T and complain.
