Why am I suddenly getting text messages from outlook.com on my LG Stylo3

[Staceylee477]

I'm getting text messages from outlook.com email addresses. It just started 5 days ago out of the blue. The messages come from random email addresses ending in "outlook.com". When I click on the text it asks me to either "cancel, search, or connect" . Regardless of what I select it takes me to an adult website of some kind. The website in the search changes to "date4you.net" but the top of the page says "Whatssexy". I had to google search to find out what outlook.com was cuz I've never heard of it and didn't know what it was. I have never heard of our used "date4you.net" or "Whatssexy". I get the text atleast once or twice a day. How do I make this stop? I'm using my LG Stylo3. I have had this Phone for 2 years. Please help!

It's spam They're likely sending an email to your phone number's email address, which then shows up as a text. Which carrier do you have? For example, on T-Mobile, your number would be [10 digit number]@tmomail.net. See here for more examples: https://support.keepandshare.com/su...e-email-address-to-my-communication-settings-

On T-Mobile, you can go into your account settings to block emails sent to that address: https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/message-blocking. Check the support pages for your carrier to see if you have that option as well.
