How SpamStamp works: from spam text to a formal notice in your own name

What SpamStamp is (and what it is not)

SpamStamp, a self-help software tool, helps a person respond to an unwanted spam text by preparing a formal, factual notice they send in their own name. Put simply, it is a self-help tool for preparing a formal TCPA notice about a spam text, which you send in your own name.

SpamStamp does not block, filter, or identify callers. It is not a spam blocker or call filter like RoboKiller or Nomorobo, and it is not a caller-ID or reverse-lookup app like Truecaller, Whoscall, or Hiya. It does not stop texts from arriving and it does not promise to tell you who is behind a message.

It is not a law firm, it gives no legal advice, it represents no one, and it files no lawsuits. You are always the sender of any notice.

The four steps

1. 1. Paste the spam text you received

   You copy the unwanted text into SpamStamp, along with the number or short code it came from and the date. Nothing is sent anywhere on your behalf at this stage — you are simply giving the tool the facts to work with.

2. 2. SpamStamp checks whether the facts support a by-the-book notice

   The tool reviews the details against a plain, rules-based checklist — for example, whether you asked the sender to stop and were texted again. If the facts do not support a formal notice, SpamStamp tells you that plainly rather than pushing you forward.

3. 3. You get an honest answer on who sent it

   SpamStamp only names a party when trustworthy records support it. Senders often spoof numbers and hide behind third parties, so when a sender cannot be safely identified, the tool says so honestly and points you to free reporting channels at the FTC, FCC, and your carrier instead of guessing.

4. 4. You review the notice and send it in your own name

   If the facts support it, SpamStamp prepares a formal, factual notice for you to read. You review and approve every word, then you send it in your own name. Nothing is filed for you, and no lawsuit is involved — it is a by-the-book step you take yourself.

When a sender can't be identified

Sometimes a spam text simply can't be traced to a party you can safely name, and SpamStamp will tell you that instead of inventing an answer. That is normal, and it does not mean you're out of options.

You can forward the message to 7726 (SPAM) to alert your carrier, report it to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov, and file with the FCC at fcc.gov. These free channels help authorities track senders and are a solid first step when a sender can't be identified.

A note on your rights under the TCPA

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. 227) is a federal law that limits unwanted marketing texts sent without your consent. Understanding it can help you decide whether a formal notice is a step you want to take. You can also add your number to the National Do-Not-Call Registry for free at donotcall.gov.

SpamStamp explains this factually so you can make your own decision. It does not give legal advice, and it is not a substitute for a lawyer.

Not a law firm, not legal advice

SpamStamp is a self-help software tool, not a law firm. It does not provide legal advice, does not represent you, and does not file anything on your behalf. It helps you prepare a document; you decide whether to send it, and you are always the sender.
