Today I receive a rare, but unwanted and unexpected "spam" iMessage. Looked for options to block the sender, but noticed that I have to add the sender first to Contacts, and then I'm able to block.
This happened while at work, and I didn't have unlimited time to research alternatives. This evening I read the KB (below), which confirms that I need to add the unwanted sender first, and then I can block.
Is there any risk to adding the unwanted sender to my contacts? The sender is only identifiable by a URL such as name.com. I didn't put the actual name here so as to not "spread" more spam.
The other unnerving part about this is that the same iMessage (in an unread state) was waiting for me on my MacBook at home.
Suggestions welcome for workarounds or the best way to approach this.
