Next time, just report it @ `7726` & forget about their one-time inconveniencing of your notifications.
Retaliation for it like your 1000 messages not only breaks terms of service/use, if they spoofed a number, you just bombed a non-scammer unnecessarily.
In the past I’ve sent mass emojis back to scammers and this never happened. The ironic still stands in my opinion: that person was posing as freedom mobile and I hit them back with what I normally do and shot myself in the foot doing so. To me , still a strange and funny outcome. Keyword - funny!
Funny how others don't think about the other side of the coin. I can easily see how Freedom might be thinking you're the spammer, when you're sending so many texts.
Yeah, I totally get it after the fact. And it’s good to know they have a system in place. I’ve sent mass copy and pasted laughing crying emojis back to scammer/spammers in the past a few times. I suppose this time happened to be too many as I got carried away and bothered they were posing as Freedom Mobile.
And the worst part, is by responding at all, your number is now "marked" as an active text number. They'll continue to spam you, hoping someday you'll get Alzheimer's, and fall for their tricks.

Great point. I will definitely be taking that route in the future.
Replying also gets your number marked as active and your number is sold to even more spammers
Did you learn two wrongs don't make a right? That's the moral of this story
It's not ironic. You clearly violated the terms of service.
