Hi ScottL, I recommend calling *611 to have a customer service representative investigate this for you.

I too am receiving these, and from what I can tell on the internet that many people are receiving these.  Telus should acknowleding these spam texts are coming in and doing something about it.

If possible please forward the messages to 7726.

This will flag it with the Spam/Abuse Control team.

(999) 999-9999 is also the number of record for any Telus "Send A Text" or "Send a Message" texts sent through either the Telus interface or directly from an email client. This would suggest it is not sensibly blockable, as it is possibly any of a huge number of senders, but also there may be an opportunity to filter if the spam has enough in common, or trace if reported.
