You can block those numbers however the spammers will just change and spoof another number. Don't waste your time and energy doing that or even calling your carrier for blocking numbers.

I found that the best bet was turning on the Filter Unknown Senders. This action is not going to entirely block messages from unknown senders (not in your contacts) will put those messages in a separate tab in the Messages app.

Open Settings ➔ Messages ➔ Filter Unknown Senders : Set this to ON.
