How can I stop repetitive SMS messages

I am receiving the same SMS message with a picture over and over. I have received over a hundred in the last 24 hours. I have a Razr M. What can I do to stop receiving these messages. I have downloaded several apps to attempt to block incoming messages but they still keep coming

Re: How can I stop repetitive SMS messages

How old is your phone? Did you have this phone number for a long time? Who are the messages from?

The reason I ask is because when I moved back to Hawaii from Califonia, I changed my phone number to a local Hawaii number. Almost as soon as I did that, I constantly got SMS messages from Facebook. It was driving me batty! I finally had to have Verizon change my phone number as there is no way to block Facebook sending these messages unless you sign in to the account that has listed the phone number. Since the number was just assigned to me, I had no idea who owned it previously, so no way to know who listed it on Facebook, much less opt out of these stupid SMS messages. Damn irritating!
