Name showing when responding to text message.

I frequently receive text messages from likely scammers. If I reply stop, will the sender then also have my name as result of my having replied to them?

Is there a way to block unsolicited text messages from an unknown sender where no phone number is revealed? Since October I frequently receive unsolicited text messages (advertisements) from a company. In messages the company is shown with a name ("XYZ"), but no telephone number is revealed. If I try to block this sender, nothing is added to my blocked contacts list, not even when I add this sender to my contacts first. I suspect this is, because there is no telephone number (or e-mail address) associated with this sender, but I am not sure. Is there any way to block this sender?
