Suspicious texts that claim to be from T-Mobile?
I've been a customer for several years. Lately I've been receiving increasingly frequent texts that claim to be from T-Mobile. They aren't coming on Tuesdays. How can I tell if they're legitimate? Here's a copy of a recent one.

I am receiving the same messages as of 03/04/2021. I am certain they are a scam because I received a series of 6 them all on the same evening followed by 1 more scam promo claiming to be from CVS pharmacy. The giveaway was that ALL of the texts were constructed similarly. So unless CVS and T-Mobile have teamed up, I'm sure that they are all phishing Texts. Note attached screenshots.
I received 6 of these from different numbers like"saturday40722@haztxj.com" or "(my phone number)@skgsgc.com. The first line of each fake T-Mobile text message was "/ WEEKEND-PROMO4515 //" with the numeric portion changing

Reply *STOP* To cancel these texts.
The best advice I have is to simply delete them. DON'T EVEN REPLY TO THEM as they are suggesting for you to do to cancel the messages because you will probably just generate a new set of similar fake promo's.
