You will feel a lot less insecure when you take into account what has actually transpired, and that is: @Bradley Prior has fallen for that lady. (Maybe he liked her avatar better? Or maybe she even walked into his office?)

Whatever the case, you were clearly dancing with the wrong girl: Screenshot_20200719-151708.png

So ... how can you expect Bradley to not repay you in kind for having ignored him so glaringly, publically?

Then use a screen recorder (or another phone's camera*) and upload the resulting clip to social media to name-and-shame them.

* If you'll be using another phone's camera to record the action, please, for God's sake, clean that g0ddamn dirty screen first.

I have done this, but sadly it gained no traction on Facebook. I'm no social media junkie...
 
Last month I wasted a lot of time getting rid of MoMo spam from MTN. They purposely make it difficult. The number they give you to unsubscribe doesn't work. When you phone their call centre they amazingly cannot unsubscribe you but instead instruct you to go through a confusing SMS dialog. So I finally got rid of it. Now they have started again. This time I thought to try email. Emailing them gets a response that they have passed the request to the appropriate department. Next email - no response. Surely something can be done to stop this abuse.

As I said, I did that last time. Now when I look at the settings they are set to not allow any messages. But the Spam keeps coming.
