Any way to block messaging phishing scams?

My husband and a lot of other people have gotten the text message (smiONEcard) Call 800 997 0065 Immediately! 478655XXXXXXXXX Account Issue. The states hardest hit seem to be PA, GA, FL and I am in TN.
I was suspicious and googled the info above with SCAM after it and WOW - there were a lot of hits and they were all Verizon customers.
I wonder if Verizon needs to warn their customers. Does typing STOP prevent them contacting us again?
Thanks.
Ann

Never reply with stop. Verizon Has a text Scam reporting text Which you Send the scam text to them for Investigation.
use that first. its Under spam controls on http://www.verizonwireless.com

Apple's changes in iOS 7 are smarter.
"Losing your iOS device feels lousy. Thankfully, Find My iPhone can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new security features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it. Which means your device is still your device. No matter where it is."

Hi Nies,
If you are not using the material then you can go for Validation, under Operative Structure> Network> Validation.
Attach the validation with OPSA click on Automatic.
In the second scenario if you are using Material Component, as Mr.Muralidharan said OPSG there you can restrict the change by selecting Error Message.
1. Tcode OPSG in Setting see all the object are selected.
2. Click on Component tab under change in Purchase Order Exist tab select Error.

Is there any way to block someone on Yahoo! IM?

I keep getting spam from people on Yahoo! Instant Messenger. The only solutions I can find on Google involve downloading the official Y!IM client and using that to block the person (add to the ignore list).
Is there any way to block someone within the messages app?

Hi,
You can in the Yahoo for Mac app (This has been in Beta for literally years)
It seems that the iChat and Messages Beta Yahoo part is a sort of Bolt-On (it is actually a Plug-in) that does Text Chatting only and not much else (it can go Invisible)
It seems it lacks some other functions that the Yahoo for Mac App has such as blocking people.

Is there any way to block accessing Exchange server

Hello,
We are using iPhone as a business phone to
access Exchange server using ActiveSync.
Is there any way to block non-company, in
other words private iPhone, iPhone to access
Exchange Server?
Some users have 2 iPhones (1 provided by our
company, 1 purchased by himself/herself as
a his/her private phone).
We would like to block those non-company iPhone.
If there is a way(s), please let me know!!
Thank you very much in advance.

Block/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" is NOT ticked in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
Wipe/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" IS TICKED in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
The only difference is, if you first have "Enforce..." ticked and you join phones A,B,C, - they will always have WIPE next to that phone even if X months down the line, you untick "Enfore...".
If at that point (after unticking "Enforce..") you join phones D,E,F, they will have BLOCK next to their phone and always will have until you tick the "Enforce..." again and the user will be prompted to input a code when they next sync.
Again I repeat, the 'Lock code' when inputted into the phone acts as an agreement between the user & exchange that exchange has permission to wipe the phone remotely. Without that agreement ("Enforce..."), you should not have the WIPE function on those particular phones.
Hope that makes sense.

Is there any way to send messages to other iPods and iPads?

I have 2 iPads 2 iPods and an iPhone, and in am wondering if there is any way I can message any f these devices so I can talk to my children that are using my ther devices?

Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad ?

Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad?

there are parental control apps you can look into. Such as McGruff. You block safari in restrictions then use the mcgruff app. Or you can look into your router and see what settings you can change there.
Also, depending on your service provider, some give you free access to content control.

Is there any way to block a number?

I am getting frequent calls from tele-marketers, including text message and would like to block these calls. Isa there any way to do this? I have an Android 2 Global. Thanks for your help.

SkyHawk44, I know how irritating telemarketing calls can be. I recommend that you add your mobile number to the Do Not Call List by clicking https://www.donotcall.gov/
Additionally, you may also block 10 digit phone numbers to the Call & Messaging Block list online at My Verizon, as well. This feature allows you to block up to five numbers from calling and text messaging your device. For more information, click http://bit.ly/MqEgqB ^LH

Is there any way to block or disable usb access to avoid copy files from ipad to other dispositive?

Hi, i just want if there is exist any way to disable, turn off, block usb transfer on ipad3 to avoid copy files from ipad to another dispositive?
Any idea?

Use an MDM to put the device in supervisory mode. This mean you can only copy via USB to the device that put the device in supervisory mode.
See all the complaints by teachers with Supervised mode on their ipad:

Is there any way to mark messages forwarded by a rule with that little "forwarded" arrow?

Normally, after forwarding an email, a little arrows appears next to the message reminding me that the message was forwarded. However, when I set up a rule to forward messages, those little "forwarded" arrows don't show up. Why is this?
Is there any way to automatically mark a message as forwarded?

I have considered adding a flag as you suggested, but one of the things I really like about the "forwarded" arrow is that, when clicked, it shows me the forwarded message and to whom it was forwarded.
I've also noticed that the same rule, when I select "Apply Rule", does in fact mark those as forwarded with the arrow, but when I click those arrows, it can't find the message. And then, just like before, any new messages that I receive don't get marked. Just seems odd to me. Wish I didn't have to use the flag workaround.

Is there any way to block a few websites even for an administrator user?

Hi, I would like to block a few specific websites on my imac, and someone told me to go to system preferences, accounts, and parental controls. But it says you can't block websites for an account user (which is what I am). There is an option to block all websites, except what is on the bookmarks bar, but I don't want to do that and not be able to web search. I just want to block a few specific websites. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can do this using OS X's built in Firewall but you'll want to use Flying Buttress (link) to give you a nice front-end to make the changes with.
First find the IP addresses of the sites you wish to block.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Network Utility > Tracetroute tab.
Enter the address i.e. www.apple.com and traceroute will give you the IP i.e. 17.149.160.10.
Load up Flying Buttress and add a new filter (for example on my Powerbook I always connect via Airport so I choose the Airport tab and click 'Add New Filter').
Action:"Deny" the Service:"World Wide Web" from Source:"My Computer" to Other...:"Host IP: 17.149.160.10".
Add a new filter for each page you wish to block.
Remember to go through and check all the settings on all the tabs are set to "Deny" unless you are using them to maintain the integrity of your Firewall.
Hope that helps.

Any way to block spam texts like blocking a ph #?

Is there some way to block incoming texts addresses? Am I missing something? When I press on the text address, I'm not seeing a "Block" option, just the ability to Delete it.

There are a lot of phone/message blockers like the one above by SamZTB. Mr Number is probably one of the most popular. I personally use Call Blocker. You can set up White and Black lists and I just have it block all calls and texts not in my contacts list. The only thing I didn't like is that it nags you to buy it when you start or stop it. It was worth buying it to me though. Just do a search for call blockers. Many also include a caller ID.
There are a lot, so good searching.
