Technology can be a wonderful thing. And then someone sends you a group text.

Using the “Report Phishing” option (see image) will report the sender, content and network particulars to Google. While it ain’t the FBI it does serve to blacklist the bad people and stop this especially malicious spam before it spreads.
Every time we report spam or phishing with these tools it makes the world a better place. Even if just a little bit.
