I think more than sending 84 messages, getting reported on handful of them can be more concerning. While you’ll rarely get reported for a party invite.

Yeah, exactly. I’m not sure what happens after I click “Delete and Report Junk” on every spammy-looking sms and iMessage I get, but I imagine the iMessage reports go into some ML blackbox and hopefully contribute to banning the spammer.
I understand the op was trying to do a good deed, but if I saw an unexpected message like that I would definitely hit “Delete and Report Junk” instead of just “Delete”.
Why would you consider the text spammy? No links or requests were included. So just delete seems fine to me.

Maybe I’m just jaded/untrusting, but the message reminded me of the initial opening text from various wrongnumber/pig-butchering scams.
