Every single day I receive at least one spam SMS that has my first name and a link asking me to take action about something scammy. Each time the message comes from a different number and doesn’t have any “stop to opt out” function.

I’ve contacted Telstra and their only advice was to block the numbers, which won’t help because they’re always different. I’ve reported them to ACMA and SCAMWatch. But they don’t stop.

Can anyone in the industry tell me why telcos don’t have the ability to trace these messages and block the senders?
