Help! I clicked on a text that was that was suspicious.

Now what can I do?  I am scared to use my cell phone.  I blocked the number but is that enough?

    Clicked on?  Like viewed or did you click a link in the text?  If you just viewed the text, it more than likely just confirms that someone is using the number to the spammer.  If you clicked on a link in the suspicious text and it opened in a browser.  Then you might want to reset that browser just in case it is compromised and check your device for any apps that you didn’t install.
