Getting SPAM crush related text messages?

I got a couple texts today referring to a crush of some sort, both from an @live.com address.  Thought I would do some research and found a bit about it, most of it in this rather long thread:  http://malaysia.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080307202132AAqivot&cp=1

Appears to be a common issue.  Long story is that you can contact your carrier and have them block anything coming from a url and I also went to my sprint page to my messaging settings and added the live.com to my blocked messages.  The kicker is that you will get charged 20 cents a message for each of these texts and if you respond to them, you will be charged again.  Don’t ignore them and don’t reply.

    Wow, thanks dude. Just for the last couple days I have seen a few of these same TXTs come through. I am logging into my Sprint account now to block them. I hate these damn spammers. At least they give us a little extra job security, though :)
