http://a-ction.usHow did I get on these spam lists? Where is the spam filtering? And how are any of these web sites still up??? (←rhetorical questions that do not require answers)

I notice that many of those domains are aliases to us.blaze.link.
I believe that the iPhone recently added SMS spam filtering. I wonder what it takes to write a custom filter that does a DNS resolution, and filters anything that resolves to that domain? (If anybody’s done investigation into SMS filtering for iPhone, I’d be curious to hear about it!)

I have/had the same experience with GOP SMS spam referencing those domains In my case, they started appearing in December 2023, though my Android phone (a Pixel model) seems to be successfully filtering them since about May of this year. I went so far as to send a complaint via [email protected] back in January, though clearly that had no effect. -

Yes, it’s been going on for a while for me, and in a similar timeframe. Some kind of carpet bombing operation here, clearly.
