Hi, my other half has been getting these weird spam sms's on her Vodacom number the last couple of weeks. Every day it is the same message from multiple numbers.

She does not have any WASP subscriptions and did not sign up for it anywhere. The numbers that send the spam keeps on changing so it does not help to block them.

Is anyone else getting these and is there anything that can be done?

Screen shots for reference.

Edit: It is also helpful to add this is on a new number on a new contract.

Honk if you love peace and quiet should be a clue, who did she honk at recently?
 
Looks like wasp.

Wasps are not a subscription service, they are a pest that move in all on their own.

go into the myvodacom app and block all wasps.

Then your daily messages will change to something like "unable to join this service as subscription services have been blocked".

We did the “STOP ALL” to 30333 and nothing came up though

Thought so as well but when we search the numbers on TrueCaller it seems to be numbers belonging to normal people with no spam reports

I searched the 082 number and Dutch sms service came up.
could be international
 
There’s another number where that link also came up so I just guessed it might be linked.
Otherwise I doubt there’s someone sitting with a whole bunch of sims or phones sending those sms.
