"Hi I'm Ben from the Cellphone Broker in San Jose, California. Today I'm going to show you how to stop receiving or block chain messages. There's only way to block chain messages that would be to contact the wireless carrier directly and have them block that number from making outgoing calls to you or outgoing messages to you. What a chain message is is it's a message that someone will send you and ask you to forward on to maybe 10 people or 20 people and if you don't do it then something bad is going to happen. This is a form of harassment and in some states and some areas it's illegal. So the best thing you can do is block it from your wireless carrier. If you keep receiving them and it's getting pretty upsetting then you can go ahead and contact the authorities and have them take legal action against the person who's sending it. But like I said, the best and easiest option is to contact your wireless provider, have them block the number and then you won't have to receive those messages anymore."
