Federal law says texting STOP back to them obligates them to leave you alone. Most of them abide by the law. I’ve reported a few of them to the FTC, and let them know that.

Not quite, unfortunately. In a test to see if things have changed recently, I just tried it on one of my MANY text messages. The response, undoubtably auto-generated, is in the text below. As you can read, there appears to be little, if any, difference between using 'stop' or blocking as both are tied to the phone number used by the solicitation. As mentioned elsewhere, there appears to be a plethora of number available to be used in this area!
